Lastly, there’s not only a cost saving in gas but also car maintenance over time. It’s a known fact that driving an electric car for real estate will dramatically reduce the cost of vehicle repairs. Electric cars don’t have all the moving parts as does gas vehicles. EV’s don’t have the same cooling, exhaust and transmission systems. Plus, electric cars have electronic assisted braking. The need to replace brake pads should be reduced over the years of ownership.
