Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are fully electric vehicles powered by rechargeable batteries. Without a traditional gasoline engine, BEVs rely solely on electric power, eliminating fuel costs and emissions.

Why choose a BEV?

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are 100% electric vehicles powered entirely by a rechargeable battery, without an internal combustion engine. These vehicles store energy in large battery packs, which power an electric motor. BEVs are charged by plugging into an electric outlet or charging station and typically offer a driving range between 250 to over 500 km per charge, depending on the model.

BEVs also offer regenerative braking which helps conserve electric energy by sending power back to the battery during deceleration, increasing your driving range.

Charging can be done at home using a standard 120V outlet (Level 1 charger), which offers slower charging speeds, or a 240V outlet (Level 2 charger), which is much faster. Fast-charging stations (Level 3 chargers) are also available in public spaces, enabling drivers to replenish up to 80% of the battery in as little as 30 minutes.

A BEV is ideal for drivers who are interested in reducing their carbon footprint, eliminating gasoline costs, and have access to charging infrastructure, whether at home, work, or public stations in urban areas.
