EV/Hybrid Benefits
EV/Hybrid Benefits in Oklahoma
Drivers all over the country are making the switch to greener transportation. There are plenty of personal, financial, and ethical reasons why so many people are choosing to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle. The state of Oklahoma wants to expand upon these reasons by providing perks and benefits to those who choose to drive more fuel-efficient vehicles that help to create a cleaner environment.
More Opportunities to Save
A big reason why so many people are buying electric or hybrid vehicles is to save money. You may be wondering, how can a vehicle that costs a similar amount to gas-powered vehicles save money? EVs and hybrids, like the Kia EV6 and the Kia Sorento Hybrid, can save you a lot of money over time because they cost less to operate than most gas-powered vehicles. Gasoline costs more per mile than electricity, so it’s easy to imagine how these savings can add up over the years. Also, electric vehicles allow you to skip certain routine maintenance and repair services. They are less likely to break down because they aren’t prone to issues that result in costly repairs.
The savings don’t end there, however, because EVs and hybrids also save you time. Many public charging stations offer fast charging options so you can spend less time charging your vehicle. Another time-saving option is to install an at-home charging station. These stations allow you to charge overnight or at your convenience. By charging at home, likely, you will never have to find time to stop at a charging station again.
Tax Credits
Tax credits are a great way to earn money to put towards your electric or hybrid vehicle. For example, you can receive a one-time tax credit of up to $50,000 to help you pay for your EV or hybrid vehicle thanks to the Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Tax Credit. Also, depending on your vehicle’s battery capacity, you can receive anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 with federal tax credits.
Rebates
Take advantage of the saving opportunities offered by certain local utility companies when you lease or buy an EV or hybrid vehicle that fits the qualifications. The Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) can provide you with a rebate of up to $250 if you are found eligible for the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Rebate.
A Better, Safer Environment
You can create a cleaner environment when you drive a fuel-efficient vehicle. Tailpipe emissions are responsible for certain health issues and other harmful impacts on the environment and the people who live in it. By choosing an electric or hybrid vehicle, you can take pride in the fact that you are helping to protect Oklahoma and all of the other places in which you travel.
