Debunking Common Honda EV Myths

With the impending arrival of the Honda Prologue, many car shoppers have Honda EV questions. There are also plenty of myths and misconceptions surrounding electric vehicles, which is why Pacific Honda is taking a moment to separate EV fact from fiction. Let’s take a closer look.

You Have to Worry About Range

Charging your vehicle and accounting for the range may require some adjustment, but you don’t have to worry. Even if you use your vehicle for commuting or picking the kids up from school, you’re likely driving fewer miles a day than the total range of your car since most Americans drive close to home for their daily needs. Because modern EV models offer up to a few hundred miles on a single charge, you won’t have to worry about range.

You’ll Sacrifice Performance

The opposite is true. Because EV models deliver peak torque output from a dead stop, they’re faster off the line than vehicles with internal combustion engines. They offer comparable top speeds, while a lower center of gravity and a simple powertrain system means it’s easier to control your vehicle around the corners and down the straights.

You’ll Spend More Money

Purchasing an EV can help you to save money. Not only will you save on gas, but you’ll also save on service costs since EV models need less service than internal combustion engine cars. You may also be eligible for incentives and tax credits, which can help you save even more on the vehicles you love.
