First of all, the gas savings are absolutely amazing. At the time of this writing, no one would have guessed fuel prices would be so expensive.

Going ‘green’ and doing your part to reduce pollution is always a good thing for the planet and beautiful Vancouver. Jacob & Jacky have adjusted many of their processes to reduce waist footprint. Some examples are, reducing their flyer marketing, and printing less paper in general. They have also employed digital signing which reduces the need to physically drive to meet clients for signatures. With the adoption of driving EV’s, pollution is absolutely reduced when there is a need to drive.
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.
