Electric City Vehicles – Why It’s Important to Choose a Manufacturer With a Strong Mobile Service Network
Tesla Ford GM Power Manufacturing
The latest electric cars, including the Porsche Taycan, are a lot more efficient than their fossil fuel-burning counterparts. The slick-looking car delivers a combined 246 miles of EPA range in its GTS trim, with the base model managing just 208 miles.
And although the battery-powered vehicles are far more energy efficient than their fossil fuel-powered cousins, they still require periodic maintenance and replacement of consumables like windshield wiper fluid, cabin air filters and tires. That’s why it’s important to choose an automaker that has a robust mobile service network and brick-and-mortar authorized dealers, which will be needed for repairs and other work.
EVs can help reduce overall energy demand, especially in cities, by taking on surplus renewable electricity during the day and returning it to the grid at evening peak demand times. This vehicle-to-grid technology is being explored by many utilities, including Pacific Gas & Electric in Seattle, which is working to install 7,500 charging stations.
With the country moving closer to 100% clean energy (renewables just surpassed coal), electric cars are the most environmentally friendly way to travel. But even with that progress, the carbon footprint of an EV’s fuel depends on where and how it is charged. That’s why Earthjustice attorneys are fighting to ensure that more recharging stations are available in shopping centers, parking garages and workplaces, so that people who don’t have a garage or driveway can buy and use an EV.
