Is an EV right for you? Our online calculator can help you decide.

Nation­al Dri­ve Elec­tric Week, begin­ning Sept. 22, is a nation­wide cel­e­bra­tion to raise aware­ness of the many ben­e­fits of all-elec­tric and plug-in hybrid vehi­cles.

Inter­est in elec­tric vehi­cles (EVs) is grow­ing amid increased con­sumer aware­ness, greater avail­abil­i­ty of new mod­els with bet­ter per­for­mance and range, faster charg­ing, incen­tives and poli­cies. Car man­u­fac­tur­ers are shift­ing pro­duc­tion to meet glob­al demand, and some plan to phase out pro­duc­tion of gas-pow­ered cars as soon as 2035.

Elec­tric vehi­cles account­ed for only 4.6% of new car sales in Geor­gia last year, but their pop­u­lar­i­ty is grow­ing. Across the U.S., EV sales in 2022 were 57% high­er than the pre­vi­ous year. Some pro­jec­tions fore­cast that 75% of vehi­cles will be elec­tric by 2050.

To help co-op mem­bers make informed choic­es about EVs, Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive cre­at­ed our ChooseEV web­page, com­plete with a cus­tom sav­ings cal­cu­la­tor, com­par­isons of avail­able mod­els, charge time esti­mates and more.

With this tool, mem­bers can cal­cu­late poten­tial sav­ings by com­par­ing their cur­rent vehi­cles and fuel costs to a vari­ety of elec­tric vehi­cles and charg­ing costs using Coastal Elec­tric rates.

It’s just one way we do our part to meet mem­bers’ ever-chang­ing needs.
