Benefits of a MINI EV vs. Gas Car

More and more drivers in the Miami and Hollywood areas are making the switch to electric vehicles, as there are many benefits of electric cars. They don’t produce harmful emissions and can be powered by renewable energy, but there are financial MINI EV benefits, too! We explore the electric car vs. gas car cost and more in this helpful guide to MINI EV ownership. 

MINI EV Benefits 

As mentioned above, there are many benefits of electric cars. Regular oil changes are a thing of the past, and EVs typically require less maintenance due to their simpler construction. What’s more? EVs offer a quiet and peaceful ride no matter where the road takes you. Here are a few of our other favorite perks: 

• Priority Parking in Some Locations
• HOV Lane Access with a Single Occupant in Select States
• MINI Mobile App Provides Charging Status and Helps You Find Charging Stations 

EV vs. Gas Cost

Next, we’ll take a look at the electric car vs. gas car cost. While electric cars tend to be a bit more expensive upfront, the lower cost of ownership helps to offset this — and then some! 

While the amount you will save varies based on a variety of factors, you could save as much as $3,500 in fuel costs over five years of ownership. There are also state and local incentives available to further help you save. As we briefly discussed above, electric cars have a simpler design, so there are fewer moving parts that could fail or require maintenance. This is why you are likely to spend significantly less to keep your EV running smoothly.

While EV batteries are more costly compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, as they have a greater responsibility, they do have a long lifespan, and most manufacturers have an EV battery warranty. Lithium-ion batteries are resilient, and most EV batteries will last a decade or more before needing to be replaced.
