Common Misconceptions
There are a lot of outdated ideas about electric vehicles, and our team wants to address them. You can feel confident whenever you get into the driver’s seat of an electric vehicle knowing each model is fun, stylish, and dependable. You deserve the best for your next vehicle, and the new Volkswagen electric vehicles can be the most attractive option for your Murrieta errands and commutes.
“EVs are not powerful”
This is one of the most common mistakes we hear about EVs. Buying an EV provides near-instant acceleration that an internal combustion engine cannot match. Power is delivered directly to the wheels, meaning you don’t need to rev the motor to get up to speed. Volkswagen EVs can show you how entertaining the drive can be, especially if you choose one of our AWD models.
“EVs have ugly designs”
EVs are striking and aerodynamic. VW designs its models to appeal to many drivers, and the electric vehicles follow that trend with a slim grille and elegant traits. The flowing lines of an EV allow it to maximize its range and performance to keep you smiling when you think of any aspect of owning one.
“EVs are only utilitarian”
Electric vehicles are designed to handle any drive, but they offer so much more than that. The exciting performance, reduced emissions, and advanced features make them top choices for many drivers. Panoramic roofs, premium seating upholstery, and wireless phone charging are some of the many features in the Volkswagen EV lineup.
“You can’t charge an EV on the road”
More and more charging stations are popping up daily. Various apps and services can help you find charging stations along your route. Fast charging capabilities allow EVs to go from five to eight percent in as little as 38 minutes.
“No mechanics can fix an EV”
EVs require less maintenance than regular vehicles because there are fewer moving parts. Your electric vehicle doesn’t use oil and doesn’t have a lot that needs maintenance. You can rely on the network of VW dealerships for any service appointment!
“EVs are more expensive”
Many electric vehicles are competitively priced. Electric vehicles were more expensive a long time ago, and luxury brands will always have more expensive options, but VW electric vehicles provide their innovative features and attractive performance without stretching your budget. When considering low maintenance needs and fuel savings, an EV might be the best choice for your next vehicle.
