4 Reasons Why You Should Turn to Peruzzi Auto Group

More and more, car buyers are considering either a hybrid or an all-electric vehicle.  These cars are better for the environment and the ever-improving technology makes them a more economical option.  Peruzzi Toyota offers a wide range of sleek, efficient electric or hybrid vehicles, but after years of driving traditional gas-powered vehicles, potential buyers may have some hesitation.  Are electric or hybrids trickier to keep up?  Are the costs involved more or less? So let’s look at the reality of owning/maintaining an electric vehicle. MAINTENANCE One of the best things about a hybrid or electric car is that they have a lot fewer parts than your traditio nal internal combustion engine – so there are fewer chances for things to break. Generally speaking, electric vehicles rely on about a dozen parts (versus the hundreds in a regular engine).  Thus, keeping things in shape is less complex and expensive. The only (possible) downside is the cost of the lithium-ion battery that keeps t he car humming along.  While it’s dropped from around $15K, the cost to repair or replace it can still run between $5,000 to $6,000.  One way to mitigate that pricetag is to keep up a regular maintenance schedule at Peruzzi Toyota.  Their experts can spot any leaks or defects before they turn into something major. FUEL COSTS You're probably used to sitting next to a gas pump, watching the dollars rack up.  With an electric vehicle, there are more charging stations popping up around the country.  It generally takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours at one of these stations to get a full charge; if you juice up the car at home, think about 12 hours.  While that may seem like a long time, consider the fact that you're saving a ton of money over traditional fuel costs. THE WARRANTY The electric and hybrid vehicles at Peruzzi Toyota come with the kind of warranty that offers terrific peace of mind.  Generally, they cover 8 years/100,000 miles (with options to purchase even longer coverage). This should make you feel even more comfortable about making the switch to one of Peruzzi Toyota’s exceptional electric cars. Of course, the best way to get over any heebie-jeebies about making the switch to a hybrid or all-electric vehicle is to take a test-drive.  The experts at Peruzzi Toyota are happy to answer all of your questions and give you the inside look at how well one can fit into your lifestyle.
