Your Guide to Subaru Electric Vehicles

Brewster Subaru's Guide to Electric Vehicles

Along with the fast-changing times comes an evolution in our vehicles. To keep up with the pace, Brewster Subaru is powering up the excitement with new electric vehicles (EVs) to propel you into the future, starting with the new Subaru Solterra EV SUV. With more electric vehicles to come, we wanted to highlight some of the most frequently asked questions about EVs to keep your thoughts charged and ready for new adventures on the road.

Are there more than one way to charge a Subaru EV?

Yes, with a Subaru EV, there are multiple ways to charge your vehicle. You can use a standard wall outlet at home with your vehicle's Level 1, 120V charger. There is also the option to charge up with a 240-volt Level 2 charger, typically used for clothes dryers. This charging level is available in public locations throughout Brewster, NY, as well as retail and hotel parking lots. In addition, DC fast charging stations allow for the most rapid charge available, where you can go from 10% to 80% charged in about 35 minutes.

Where can I find a charging station?

Whether you're in Yorktown Heights or another location across the country, we recommend using the EVgo network to discover a nearby charging station. You can download the app and set up an account for added convenience. Evgo offers more than 46,000 charging stations with various charging levels and is powered by 100% renewable energy.

 

What are the benefits to owning an electric vehicle?

Having an electric vehicle has plenty of solid benefits. Besides saving time and money at the gas stations and being kinder to the environment, owning an EV such as a Subaru Solterra can be advantageous in many ways. Just check out the list below:

  • Zero-Emissions: Feel good about your drive from Westchester to Cortlandt Manor and your contribution to a better tomorrow since there will be no emissions coming from your tailpipe-especially if you choose to own a Subaru Solterra.
    •  
  • Tax Credits and Incentives: By owning an electric vehicle, it is possible to take advantage of tax credits, if available within your state or on a federal level. Certain financial institutions and possibly your employer can offer other discounts and incentives. If you want a new Subaru Solterra model from Brewster Subaru, we'll gladly go over all options and offers available for when you do-just ask!
  • Time and Gas Savings: With a Subaru Solterra or other fully electric model, you will get your time back by not having to scout out a gas station or wait in line to fill up. You'll also save on running your vehicle on electricity versus gas since it typically takes around $10 to charge an EV in full. In contrast, filling up a gas-powered car, SUV, or truck will usually cost much more.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: With a fully electric vehicle, you will have a lot less to maintain under the hood, and you can say goodbye to oil changes.
  • Additional Highway Access: If you have an EV, certain states will allow you to drive in the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane or carpool lanes, giving you additional access on highways and more convenient ways to travel.
    •  

    What type of range can I get with an EV?

    Depending on the make and model of the electric vehicle will depend on how far it goes. However, with a Subaru Solterra, you can make a round-trip trek to Brewster, NY, from Yorktown Heights and even go further with one full charge.
