Environmental Benefits of EV Ownership
It’s no secret that owning and driving a Kia electric car provides drivers with numerous advantages. However, the benefits of Kia EV ownership extend beyond personal gains to positively impact the environment’s well-being.
Kia electric cars offer various environmental benefits, with some more straightforward than others. The experts at Coastal Kia outline several of these advantages below.
Comprehensive Emission Reduction
Kia electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, a significant factor in reducing air pollution. Yet, the environmental benefits of Kia EVs go further. They can also minimize “wheel-to-wheel” emissions. More details below.
The term “wheel-to-wheel emissions” encompasses both air pollutants and greenhouse gases generated by the energy used to propel vehicles. Unlike traditional gasoline-powered cars that emit over double the CO2-equivalent emissions of EVs annually, Kia EVs contribute significantly less. As electricity for EVs can be sourced from clean, eco-friendly methods, Kia electric cars effectively help curb harmful emissions.
Eco-Friendly Refueling Solutions and Beyond
By adopting Kia electric cars, you open up access to various green energy solutions, reducing reliance on gas stations for refueling. Solar energy stands out as a readily available green energy option that, when combined with solar panels, can recharge your Kia EV and power your residence. With the savings on energy bills and the affordability of charging your car using fully renewable resources, you can recoup the cost of solar panel installation in just a few years. Fortunately, you can cleanly power your Kia EV without personal solar panels. Some utility firms permit purchasing power generated from renewable sources, while community solar share groups are gaining popularity nationwide.
Unmatched Efficiency
Kia electric cars offer unparalleled efficiency unmatched by other vehicle types. Their cost-effective and efficient travel from point A to point B will make you question why you didn’t switch from combustion-powered vehicles sooner.
This efficiency is evident when comparing an EV’s energy-to-mileage ratio to that of gasoline-powered cars. While the average gasoline car achieves an MPG rating of around 24.7, Kia EVs, measured in MPGe by the EPA, can reach 100 MPGe or higher. This indicates that Kia EVs are often four times more efficient than conventional vehicles.
