Upgrade Options Include EV – Electric Vehicles
Certainly, anyone upgrading or buying a new ride must at least consider one of the hybrid or electric vehicles on the market. From Tesla to traditional brands, there are a lot of EV options on the market and we know that gas is only getting more expensive according to AAA in a recent article.
The question on your mind might be, what type of electric vehicle do I want a hybrid or a full EV? Understandably many have questions about this newer technology as most of us grew up with the option of diesel or gas, automatic or manual transmission as the only real options to consider.
Wikipedia a great resource in general, has a detailed page about the EV and Hybrid options, that we at SAP recommend you take a look at to learn a lot more on the topic. You might be skeptical of the battery or electric options but there have been dramatic advances in the technology over the past decade.
The increasing number of electric charging stations is another key factor in considering the EV option. Additional electric charging stations in parking lots and at rest stops are popping up around the country. The fact is there are more places than ever to recharge out on the road for those driving hybrid and electric cars. Certainly there is more work to be done in terms of recharging infrastructure to compete with existing gas stations for those driving traditional fuel powered vehicles. The work is even greater in outside of major urban areas, so every driver will have to consider their own driving conditions before they determine if an EV is the right choice for them.
Non Fuel Related Options
Beyond the fuel source, consumers have many factors that can help sway them into making a purchase this year such as technology and safety improvements. Are you looking for a back up camera or even cameras that cover the full 360 degrees? New cars have park assist, smart cruise control, accident avoidance and even auto pilot technology.
Cars are being built with more and more technological advancements to make it easier and safer to drive than ever before. Kelley Blue Book has a top ten technology list for those who want a bit more on the new technology in the cars, vans and trucks being sold today.
Not Ready To Upgrade Yet?
For those who are simply not ready to upgrade yet, because they love their current vehicle or perhaps financially it doesn’t make sense to do so, we understand. Shelbyville Auto Parts is here to help our customers keep the vehicle they have on the road longer, by offering used parts out of our salvage yard here in Central Indiana. If you’re anywhere in the Greater Indianapolis area, consider bringing your tools and picking the parts you need. It’s far less expensive than buying new parts and sometimes it is the only option on makes or models that are no longer in production.
We also offer full tire service for new and used rims and tires. Get the parts you need to keep your vehicle on the road safely, for as long as you desire here at SAP.
Don’t forget to sell us your old car once you are ready to upgrade and allow others in our area to keep their beloved cars on the road a bit longer too.
