What are the Perks of Owning an EV?

There are many perks to owning an electric vehicle (EV). Electric power provides instant torque and typically a smoother ride. It produces zero carbon emissions, which makes them friendlier to our planet. Plus, there are many financial benefits to owning an EV, including incentives and lower costs to use one.

What are the Financial Benefits?

As an EV driver, you're eligible for a federal tax credit up to $7,500 for a leased vehicle and between $2,500 and $7,500 for a purchased vehicle. You may also qualify for a tax credit up to $1,000 for an alternative fuel infrastructure. Plus, charging costs can be significantly lower than fuel costs and EVs don't require as much Honda service.

How Do You Charge an EV?

Charging an EV is as simple as plugging in an appliance. You can charge your EV at home or at a public charging station. Once you plug your charge connector into your EV, your charging will start. You can track your charging status and time remaining in the Honda app.

How Do I Find Public Charging Stations?

Thanks to our agreements with EVgo and Electrify America, Honda owners have access to the largest charging network in North America. You can use the Honda app to find the nearest charging stations and even pay for charging through your app. If your vehicle is equipped, you can also find stations on your vehicle's navigation system and integrate stops into your routes.

How Long Can You Drive an EV?

Every EV has a different range, depending on its powertrain. Your range also depends on a variety of factors, including the temperature, your battery's health, and driving conditions. Your vehicle will alert you when your range is running low in the same way you get notified when your fuel is low.
