Georgia Power is excited about what the growing electric vehicle (EV) market offers our consumers. Electric transportation can help customers save money on fuel and maintenance costs, and reduce their environmental impact. As a domestic source of energy, electric transportation can contribute to our nation's energy independence.
It is estimated that in the next 10 years, 5 percent to 10 percent of new cars on the road in Georgia will be fueled in whole, or in part, by electricity. Electric vehicles come in a variety of makes, models and price points, so chances are there is an EV that is perfect for you.
Three Types of Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles all have batteries and need to be plugged in to charge. There are three different types of electric vehicles: the battery electric vehicle (BEV), the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV). However, all electric vehicles need to be plugged in to recharge.
