3 Signs You’re Ready To Make The Switch To An Electric Vehicle

Remember what life was like about 5 years ago in terms of cars you’d see on the road? There were a few hybrids around, but barely any fully electric vehicles. In fact, you probably hadn’t even seen a Tesla, or at least not very many, by that point.

Nowadays, they’re everywhere, with thousands of Aussie families making the switch to electric vehicles each year. How did they decide that they were ready to go electric? Here are three signs that you’re ready to follow in their footsteps.

1. You’re over the fuel prices

If you didn’t hate Putin before the fuel prices skyrocketed, you should certainly be hating him now. The Russian dictator is, in a roundabout way, the person to thank for the insanely high price of fuel since Australia imposed oil sanctions on Russia after his unlawful invasion of Ukraine.

Fuel could stick around at this price for ages. We don’t know when the crisis in Ukraine is going to end and, therefore, we can’t predict when fuel prices will return to normal. But even then, you’ll save a lot of money by switching to an electric vehicle.

You know how much your vehicle costs to fill up when fuel is cheap and, now, you’ve learned what it costs when fuel is grievously expensive. An electric car, on the other hand, consistently costs between $20 and $30 to fully recharge the battery, depending on battery size.

2. You want to do your bit for the environment

Not all of us are going to be donating our weekends to Greenpeace or Sea Shepherd or whoever. And you know what? That’s okay. Because being eco-conscious is about doing what you can do for the environment. One of the biggest things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is to switch to an electric vehicle.

The great thing about switching to an electric vehicle as a way to do your bit for the environment is that it comes with other perks. Sure, you get to tell people you drive an electric car (although we don’t suggest being pious about it), but you also get to reap the benefits of far cheaper running costs.

3. You’re keen to get with the times

Whether you love electric vehicles or, for some reason, can’t stand them, the entire world is going to go fully electric at some point this century. Many countries have signed the Glasgow Declaration, such as Mexico, the UK and Canada, stating that 100% of new vehicle sales will be zero-emission by 2040. You may as well jump on that train early and save yourself thousands in fuel costs!
