Conclusion
Chances are you are surprised by the number of green vehicles available in today’s market. It’s important to carefully evaluate your needs before choosing a specific model. Obviously, your needs will be quite different if you’re single or if you’re married and have 2-3 kids. Check the fuel economy ratings of the different vehicles. If you wish to recover your initial investment as quickly as possible, you might consider choosing the vehicles with the lowest tax-included initial cost. When choosing an electric vehicle bear in mind the costs of installing a charging station, the different government subsidies, and electricity costs. Also bear in mind that most manufacturers have an eight-year battery warranty. If the battery needs replacement after nine years, get ready to dish out big bucks. Choose carefully, and happy motoring!
