Electric Vehicle Benefits near Washington, DC
Bringing home an electric vehicle from Lexus is a smart decision for those who want to elevate their experiences on the road. We at Pohanka Lexus have a lot to tell you about the benefits that come with our many great plug-in hybrid and fully EV options, so keep reading for the details!
Charging
Stopping at your local gas station for a refuel is no doubt a process that you’re accustomed to, but what if you had that same ability to get your vehicle up to full capacity both on the road and at home? This is one of the key aspects of our electric and plug-in hybrid models, as they can tap into Level 1, Level 2 chargers. The Level 2 option in particular is one that you’re able to have installed at your home by a licensed technician, so you won’t have to busy yourself by stopping at the gas station for fuel after a long day of work. Instead, you can come straight home and plug your vehicle into your charging station and have it ready to go again come morning. And for our EV models specifically, there’s a Level 3 DC Fast Charger that’s capable of replenishing your vehicle’s range at an incredible pace of three miles per minute1!
Performance
If your lifestyle has you predominantly sticking to the Washington, DC, area, then a Lexus PHEV or EV could make a lot of sense for your traveling needs. This is because they’ll provide enough range for you to make a trip to Bundy Field and back without issue, and the Direct4 AWD handling will make your journeys feel incredibly responsive. The quiet and smooth accelerations of an EV are one of their defining characteristics, and if you practice careful driving, you’ll even see that you’re able to conserve energy consumption to get the most out of the regenerative braking system. We also can’t forget about the variety of drive options that come with our EVs, which include variations such as Eco mode for even greater overall efficiency.
Environmentally Friendly
It’s no secret that while gas-powered vehicles have been the standard for decades, they aren’t the ideal way forward for the environment. By making your commits on I-395 in a Lexus EV or PHEV, you’ll have lower CO2 emissions, as all our electrified models have Ultra-Low, Super Ultra-Low, Partial-Zero Emission, or Zero Emission certifications. We also have our Clean Assist2 program that allows you with the ability to make use of 100% renewable energy to offset your car charging. We'd be happy to tell you more about the details of this option, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at your earliest convenience!
