Benefits of Buying an EV
Imagine gliding down Michigan Avenue in near silence, or pulling up to a packed event at Michigan State without the usual stop-and-go fuel costs. You want a smart car with energy, that cuts down on maintenance, and keeps the air cleaner for everyone. That’s what electric driving offers—why more Lansing drivers are switching.
We’re here to make that shift easy at Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing. Our electric lineup combines Chevrolet innovation with practical tools, charging guidance, and service support designed for everyday life near Lansing, East Lansing, and Grand Ledge, Michigan.
Perks of Driving an EV
Driving an EV means fewer trips to the service drive. Electric vehicles don't need oil changes, fuel filters, or spark plugs; regenerative brakes make pads last longer. Edmunds reports that EVs have fewer wearable parts and require less frequent maintenance than gas vehicles.* Think of it this way: it's like swapping lawn mowing for a push mower—more straightforward and less frequent upkeep.
An EV can also save on energy costs. Charging at home often costs as little as $10 per full charge in Michigan, much cheaper than filling up with gas. If your typical commute is under 40 miles, you might only charge once a week. And with utility companies like DTE and Consumers Energy offering charging incentives, your electricity bills could drop even further.
Finally, EVs shift the way you drive. Instant torque means smooth, responsive acceleration that’s more enjoyable—and safer—in everyday traffic. Electric powertrains are quiet, making cabin noise levels far lower than in gasoline vehicles.

FAQs
Are EVs cheaper to maintain than gas vehicles?
Yes. Electric vehicles skip many services—no oil changes, no spark plug replacements, no exhaust work. Regenerative braking also reduces wear on brake pads and rotors. That means fewer visits to the shop and lower bills overall. At our service center, technicians handle EV-specific checks like battery health and software updates, making service visits simpler and less frequent.
Is it expensive to charge an EV at home?
Not really. Based on local rates, a full EV charge costs around $10 or less in Michigan. That’s like paying $1.40 per gallon of gas—much cheaper than most fuel pumps. Many utility companies offer rebates to offset home charger installation. And if you pair charging with a time-of-use electric rate, your charging costs can drop even lower.
Can EVs handle Michigan winters?
Yes. Chevrolet EVs like the Bolt EUV, Equinox EV, and Blazer EV include battery conditioning systems to maintain performance in cold weather. Heated seats, steering wheel, and remote start let you warm up your vehicle before stepping out in freezing temperatures. You can also add winter tires—that extra traction makes a big difference when driving in snow around Lansing.
