What Type of Electric Vehicle Are You?
Electric vehicles are already a lot cheaper and more accessible than they were when they first hit the market. They are also cooler. No longer are electric cars made fun of for feeling and sounding like a toy. It has been proven that electric cars can perform as well as sports cars. However, you don’t have to opt for a fast electric vehicle if you don’t want to. There are now all kinds of different electric options for the average consumer. So, this begs the question “what kind of electric vehicle are you?” Below are different makes and models of electric vehicles for various lifestyles.
Tesla Model S
Tesla began as a luxury-only all-electric vehicle manufacturer. This has changed over the years. Now, the Tesla Model S is accessible to many people. When it comes to buying a Tesla, the sky’s the limit with add-ons and other features, but it is finally more reasonably priced. Furthermore, you will be able to find a Tesla charger in a lot of places. There are chargers not just in the home, but in shopping centers and even some rest stops. Of course, Tesla offers more expensive models, but the Model S is a great car for the modern professional who wants a nice electric car for a reasonable price.
Rivian R1T
Rivian is the self-proclaimed electric car for the outdoor-inclined. Of course, the chargers for these vehicles aren’t as accessible as they need to be to foster long-distance off-roading, but these sturdy trucks offer a way to get out onto rough roads and avoid gas entirely. They are also quite sleek. The R1T has up to 400 miles of range, providing the ability to adventure on dirt roads near your home base. Rivian is still new, but if you love the outdoors and want a sturdy electric truck, you should think about this new company.
Porsche Taycan
The Porsche Taycan is, in many ways, the response to Tesla. Porsche has always been known for luxury and performance. This car is no different. The sleek design looks great. The car is fast. It runs on electricity alone. If you are a person who appreciates the finer things in life, a Porsche Taycan has it all. It offers a beautiful vehicle equipped with sports car performance and the peace of mind that an electric vehicle is known for. These cars aren’t cheap, though. For the sophisticated and eco-conscious consumer, you will be able to find a dream car.
BMW i4
Like Porsche, BMW is known for their style and performance. If you like a beautiful car but want something more understated, you should think about investing in the BMW i4. This vehicle is for a successful businessperson who likes anonymity. Loaded with features, these BMWs are difficult not to love. They come with the performance, control, and look of a BMW with an all-electric engine. It’s tough to beat the BMW i4. If you can afford it, it’s a great option.
Subaru Solterra
Perhaps more down-to-earth than the rest of these vehicles, Subaru is known for making great cars that perform well in the mountains and in the cities. They last a long time. They drive well. They look great. Now, Subaru has joined the ranks of the companies above by offering their all-electric vehicle known as the Solterra. Trusted for longer than Rivian as one of the best outdoor carmakers, if you love nature, want to lower your carbon footprint, and want a beautiful new car, look no further than the Subaru Solterra. It is the electric option for the average person.
End Note
When it comes to electric cars, they all have a different personality. They have a different style and purpose. Whether you plan on city driving only, want to push the speed of the car, or have wanderlust and will take the vehicle into the mountains, there is a new electric model for you. Take the time and do some research. Then you will be able to find the right car.
There is no stopping the progress of the future. With benefits and drawbacks, technology is changing many aspects of our lives. It is helping us live more sustainably. If it’s the time for you to take the plunge and go electric, start with these options.
