MULTI-BRAND ELECTRIC VEHICLE RIDE & DRIVE PROGRAMS


Feeling
Is Believing
Consumer decisions are influenced more by experiences than arguments. This is why consumers respond so powerfully when they have the opportunity to drive an electric vehicle. It affects them on a physical level ... as the benefits of EV ownership are obvious while driving:
- Faster acceleration ... EVs feel faster ... accelerating from 0 to 60 faster than ICE vehicles
- A quieter ride ... eliminating the revving noises and glugging sound of gas-powered engines
- Easier to drive ... regenerative braking enables starting and stopping with just one pedal
- Better performance ... the increased weight of EVs means they hug the road better


Making
The Case
Beyond the superior driving experience ... consumers are also responding positively to the strong financial case for EV adoption:
- Lower operating costs... EV charging can be 50% less expensive than filling up over time
- Discounted electricity ... o-peak discounts can lower charging costs even more
- Charger purchase/installation rebates ... some states/utilities provide significant coverage
- Purchase rebates ... federal/state/utility rebates available for the EV purchase itself
