What Do Electric Cars Cost?

What are affordable electric vehicles? Many Cave Creek drivers will be pleasantly surprised to find out that there are quite a few electric models available, so you don’t have to spend a fortune to get all of the benefits of an electric car. Including the VW ID.4 EV, here are some of the most affordable electric cars on the market:

• 2021 VW ID.4 EV: $39,995 starting MSRP*
• 2021 Tesla Model Y: $53,990 starting MSRP
• 2022 Chevy Bolt EV: $31,000 starting MSRP

Electric vs. Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles use an electric battery for power, but how does a hybrid vehicle compare to an electric car? Hybrid vehicles combine a gasoline engine and an electric battery, where electric vehicles (EV) rely solely on battery power. In terms of cost, you’ll end up saving more money with a fully electric vehicle due to the fact that you won’t be spending any money on fuel compared to driving a hybrid vehicle. In terms of driving, an electric vehicle is more efficient if you plan on driving long distances outside of Paradise Valley due to the fact that an electric vehicle has a longer battery range than a hybrid, which means more time you can drive without having to rely on gasoline power.

When looking at maintenance costs, you’ll usually pay less with an electric vehicle compared to a hybrid vehicle, since a hybrid vehicle still uses oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and other parts needed for a gas engine. Overall, if you want to save money and plan on driving often, an electric vehicle is a great long-term investment compared to a hybrid vehicle.

VW ID.4 EV vs. Gasoline-Powered Vehicles

How does an electric vehicle like the VW ID.4 EV compare against non-hybrid, standard gasoline-powered vehicles? Here’s how the VW ID.4 EV compares against other standard vehicles with gasoline engines:
