Benefits of Electric Vehicles

From performance to maintenance to sustainability, the benefits of electric vehicles are without rival. There is no gas-powered vehicle on the market today that can deliver perks like these:

  • Fewer Maintenance Needs -- Because they have fewer moving parts than gas-powered vehicles and don't have internal combustion engines, EVs have far fewer maintenance needs. Oil changes are a thing of the past!
  • Performance -- Electric motors produce torque almost instantaneously. You'll enjoy exceptional speed and responsiveness on every drive.
  • Quieter Driving Experience -- Today's EVs run much quieter than other vehicles, which keeps noise pollution to a minimum while maximizing your driving comfort.
  • Renewable Energy -- When you need to charge your EV, you can choose a renewable energy source like wind, water, or solar--further enhancing the eco-friendly advantages of EV ownership.
  • Zero Emissions -- Without gasoline, EVs don't emit harmful tailpipe emissions like gas-powered vehicles do, which means a much lighter carbon footprint. 

Charging Your Electric Vehicle

No Canada electric vehicle guide would be complete without discussing charging. It's no secret that you need to keep your Subaru Solterra or other EV sufficiently charged so it has the power to take you where you need to go. There are three types of EV charging:

Level 1

  • Uses a standard 120-volt household outlet
  • Ideal for topping off a charge and for PHEVs, which have smaller batteries
  • Takes about 8 to 50+ hours for a full charge, recouping 3 to 8 km per hour

Level 2

  • Uses a 208- or 240-volt outlet
  • Ideal for overnight charging
  • Takes about 4 to 10 hours for a full charge, recouping 16 to 50 km per hour

Level 3 Charging/DC Fast Charging

  • Uses direct current to charge your EV; Level 3/DC Fast Charging is only available at select public stations
  • Ideal for speedy charging on the go
  • Takes about 25 to 30 minutes to restore maximum driving range
