THEY’RE EXPENSIVE RIGHT? SO, WHY DO I WANT ONE?
• In the long run, they will save you money.
• Over 30, 000 miles an equivalent gas car will cost 5, 182$.
• Tesla will cost 934$
• No more Oil changes, just a checkup every 12, 500 miles
EVEN MORE BENEFITS
• Reduce our dependency on foreign oil
• Electricity only costs 0.11$/kw
THE ENVIROMENT
• Electric cars are completely green:
• ZERO emissions
• No more Global Warming!
• How??
• Only about 20-25% of energy stored in gas goes to turning the wheels, the rest is wasted. A Tesla is 3x more efficient using 75% of its stored energy to turn the wheels
I CAN’T AFFORD A TESLA, WHAT DO I DO??
• Most commuters only travel 29 miles a day on average
• So, I don’t need the 300 mile range of a Tesla?
• No, the 21, 000$ leaf will get you where you need to go!
WHAT IF I WANT TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP?
• Don’t Worry, They’ve got you covered!!
• BMW will provide you with an X3 SUV completely free for 10 days a year, for your 8 year warranty.
• Want to go longer? They’ll subsidize the cost for you to 15$ a day, much cheaper than Hertz
• Tesla has promised to completely cover the USA with their super chargers by 2015
HOW DO I CHARGE AT HOME?
• You can charge the cars at any standard 120V socket
• You can renovate one socket for a low cost to 240V for triple the charging speeds
WRAPPING UP
• Environmentally friendly: No global warming or emissions
• Lots cheaper in the long run
• Road Trips are just as easy
• No more foreign oil dependence, Renewable resources instead
• No more Oil changes or Timing belts, just a yearly checkup
• Bonus: Electric Cars in NJ do NOT require state inspection
