7 Reasons Electric Vehicles Make Great Valentines

​No Valentine's Day plans this year? Don't worry - you might not realize it, but there are lots of reasons an electric vehicle (EV) could be your perfect valentine. Whether you're looking for the perfect road trip companion or just looking for something you can rely on in the day to day, there's one that has just what you're looking for. Here are seven reasons for considering an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) as your perfect match.

They recharge on your schedule.

​Your electric vehicle (EV) can recharge when you do. You can start the charge before bed and your car will be ready to drive 100+ miles when you wake up. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) can also drive close to 45 miles on a single charge for some models.

They're low maintenance.

​PHEVs require oil changes less often, and EVs don’t need them at all! No engine means no engine maintenance.

They're open to matching with someone with kids.

EVs can be great family cars. On top of saving money on travel costs compared to the cost of gasoline, they come in many styles and sizes to fit any family’s needs.

Getting gas is never a problem.

Did we mention driving electric means less or no trips to the gas station? Stop by the corner store when you’re craving a snack, not when you’re running late and 10 cars are ahead of you waiting for the pump.

They're a cheap date.

They've got a big trunk, so you can put your bike in it.

Was your mental picture of an EV a small, one-size-fits-all style? Don't worry, they get that a lot - but you could be amazed by the variety on the market today, including SUVs and minivans! Chances are there's one that's just your type. Match with your dream EV at sdge.plugstar.com.
