New Tool Helps Drivers Crack Down on Electric Vehicle Savings
The cost of driving an electric vehicle (EV) has long been a topic of debate among potential buyers. How much money can you really save by ditching your gas guzzler for an EV? A new tool aims to provide drivers with a clear answer.
According to Josh Boone, executive director of Veloz, a leading industry group promoting the adoption of electric vehicles, the average driver could save around $2,000 per year on gas. That's about $166 per month, depending on how much and how far you drive. But what really sets these savings apart is that they're not just limited to fuel costs.
As part of its efforts to accelerate EV adoption, Veloz has developed a national database and website called ElectricForAll.org. The site features a handy calculator that takes into account several key factors: the type of EV you want to drive, your annual mileage, your current gas vehicle's miles per gallon, the average cost of gas in your area, and even your zip code.
The website uses this data to estimate fuel savings amounts and total annual savings, including maintenance costs. According to Boone, one of the biggest benefits of driving an EV is that you'll never have to change an oil filter, spark plugs, or perform regular tune-ups. With fewer moving parts overall, there's less maintenance required – a significant cost saver.
While $2,000 in annual savings may not seem like a lot, it adds up over time. And with the long-term benefits of driving an EV, including reduced carbon emissions and lower operating costs, the appeal is clear. By using Veloz's new tool, drivers can make more informed decisions about their next vehicle purchase.
ElectricForAll.org offers a simple and easy-to-use interface for drivers to get started. Whether you're in the market for a new EV or just curious about how much money you could save, this tool is a great resource.

and i'm low-key obsessed 
i've been driving my gas-guzzler for ages but now i'm thinking of making the switch to an electric vehicle 
i mean who doesn't want to save $166 a month on gas?!? 
plus no more oil changes or spark plug replacements = total game changer 
i know some ppl might say it's not worth it cuz the upfront cost is still pretty steep, but trust me, the savings are real 
... like what's happening to the old gas guzzlers? and isn't it weird that they're making a database for just electric vehicles? doesn't that sound a bit biased towards them? 
The fact that it's not just about fuel costs either, with maintenance costs factored in too, is a total game-changer. Less oil changes = less money spent 
. And let's be real, reducing carbon emissions isn't so bad either

. The calculator takes into account so many factors too, I love how user-friendly it is! 
Anyone thinking of getting an EV should totally check this out, trust me, it's worth it 
.
. And have you seen the fine print on ElectricForAll.org? Its all pretty standard, but is that because they're hiding something? I'd rather see them make the data available to anyone who wants to take a look. Transparency, right? 
electric vehicles r way cheaper in the long run plus ur not pollutin the air 
and if u do a rough calc like velozs tool u'll see the savings add up fast 
. It's all about making informed decisions and thinking ahead, you know? Plus, with reduced carbon emissions and lower operating costs, it's a no-brainer for anyone looking to make a positive impact on their wallet and the planet 
. plus, think about all the money you'll save on maintenance costs because you won't have to change oil filters or spark plugs as often
