Have you ever considered switching to an Electric Vehicle to save money on gas? If so, you’re not alone. Many people are hesitant to make the switch due to concerns about charging their car. But, as one Tesla owner shares in a recent blog post, the benefits of owning an Electric Vehicle far outweigh any concerns about charging.
In the blog post, the Tesla owner explains that one of the main reasons they bought an Electric Vehicle was to avoid ever having to buy gas again. Since getting their Tesla Model 3 in 2018, they haven’t been to a gas station in three years. Instead, they have replaced gas stations with charging stations.
Charging their car at home has been a game-changer for the Tesla owner. They can set their car to charge overnight when electricity is at its cheapest, ensuring that they always have enough battery charge for their daily driving needs. This convenience means that they never have to stop to charge their car during normal daily driving.
The Tesla owner breaks down the cost of charging their car at home, including the installation of a 240-volt outlet in their garage. They also discuss their travel charging costs, which have been minimal thanks to free supercharging miles earned through Tesla‘s referral program. In total, they have spent $1,404 on charging after 75,368 miles, compared to an estimated $9,353 in fuel costs for a comparable gas car.
The Tesla owner emphasizes the environmental benefits of owning an Electric Vehicle, noting that it can be charged from 100% renewable energy sources. They also highlight the convenience of charging at home and the availability of free charging at destinations while traveling.
Overall, the Tesla owner describes the experience of charging their car as similar to switching from toilet paper to a bidet. Once you try it, you realize how much cleaner and fresher it feels, and you never want to go back. Charging an electric car may seem daunting at first, but the benefits far outweigh any initial concerns.
If you’re considering making the switch to an Electric Vehicle, don’t let charging be a deterrent. The convenience, cost savings, and environmental benefits make it a worthwhile investment. And, if you’re lucky, you may even win a Tesla Model S through a giveaway with Omaze, as mentioned in the blog post.
