Why Choose an Electric Vehicle for Commuting?
Commuting with an EV offers a host of advantages that cater to both your lifestyle and the environment. For starters, EVs produce zero emissions, making them a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious drivers. With a new electric car from a Herb Chambers location, you can reduce your carbon footprint with every mile.
From cost efficiency in fuel to saving on maintenance costs, there are plenty of reasons why choosing a new electric BMW or Toyota for your commute is a great choice.
How Many Commutes Can My EV Make Before Recharging?
The exact number of commutes you can make before recharging can vary based on road conditions, weather, the length of your commute and which vehicle you buy. However, those with commutes of around 40 miles round-trip can expect to get plenty of drives in before needing to recharge.
If you'd like the flexibility of a plug-in hybrid, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale has a total range of up to 360 miles, allowing you to complete up to nine commutes. The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6 and Cadillac LYRIQ can get you to and from work eight times, while the Chevy Equinox EV, Cadillac OPTIQ and Honda Prologue can handle up to seven round-trip commutes before needing to be recharged.

Easing EV Range Anxiety for Your Commute
Many electric vehicles can travel hundreds of miles between charging, making it easy to select an EV or PHEV for your daily commute. Plus, if you have a Level 2 EV charger installed at home, it makes the decision even easier. At-home charging combined with a network of public EV chargers in New England and nationally ensures that your vehicle can always be ready when you are.
