Read on with Mercedes-Benz of Bloomfield Hills to explore the benefits of electric vehicles, and what you can do to prepare for an EV at your Bloomfield Hills-area home. 

Explore the Benefits of Electric Cars

When you’re shopping for a Mercedes-Benz electric model, you’ll find they seamlessly fit into your Southfield driving experience. With the increasing popularity and advancements of plug-in and electric vehicles, you can find top technology and comfortable amenities, along with benefits such as: 

• Zero Emissions: Since most models don’t have an exhaust system, one of the many benefits of electric cars is close to zero tailpipe emissions. 
• Renewable Energy: Another benefit of electric vehicles is that models powered by electricity can take advantage of renewable resources such as solar, wind, or even water power. 
• Reduced Maintenance: There’s an expected maintenance cost to keep your vehicle on the road, but another benefit of electric vehicles is that you won’t need to spend time and money on routine services like oil changes.
• Quieter Drive: As you settle into the elegance of a Mercedes-Benz electric car, add a bit of calm to your daily commute. Find a quieter ride with less engine noise in the cabin. 
• Performance: Don’t miss out on your thrilling adventures. Mercedes-Benz electric models and other EV models still provide unbeatable performance with near-instantaneous torque. 

Preparing for an EV at Your Home

1. Prepare Your Garage: While charging stations are becoming more accessible, we recommend setting up a home charging station. Be sure to look into Level 1 and Level 2 charging setups for charging times that work for you.
2. Find Local Charging Stations: Companies like PlugShare or Chargeway have a list of public charging stations around Birmingham. Keep in mind any brand-specific chargers you can use for your EV, and when travelling long distances, know where there are local level 2 and level 3 chargers along the way.
3. Explore Incentives: The federal government offers up to $7,500 in tax credit with the purchase of an EV or plug-in hybrid model. Be sure to check local rebates and incentives for more ways to save.
