If you are ever curious as to how far these electric vehicles can go on a full charge take a look at this.

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to drive 300 miles on a full charge in my 2017 Chevy Bolt EV! I was not driving overly cautious to accomplish this either – I had the A/C going, drove along steep roads like Kohala Mountain Road, and kept up with the speed limit (65/mph+ at times).

I have owned this car for two years now and have put 31,000 miles on it. During this time, I have about $50 into overall car maintenance. This was for a couple of tire rotations (the first two were free), a couple of cabin air filters, and some window washer fluid, That’s it!

Maybe it’s time you considered buying an electric vehicle too…

Happy Summer ☀️⚡️??Aloha, Jared T.
