Factors driving increased EV adoption

Through savings in both raw materials and production costs, batteries are becoming more cost effective. This is helping drive electric vehicles to become more affordable and accessible.

Increase in range

New innovations are increasing the battery range in EVs. Most 2022 EV models can now go over 200 miles before needing to be charged. The new 2022 Bolt EV has an estimated EPA of 259 miles on a full charge.

Additional Body Styles

Whether you are looking for a vehicle that is compact and sporty or an SUV that offers more room and luxury, there is an EV for you.

Increasing number of charging stations

According to the Department of Energy there are over 41,000 EV charging stations across the US. This number will only continue to grow. Automakers are partnering with different third-party charging stations to help expand the charging network.
