The automotive world is slowly shifting towards a fully electric future. With big changes come understandable anxieties. Many Long Island drivers get anxious that their EV battery will die out on them in the middle of the road.

As we mentioned earlier, it’s natural to feel distressed when new technologies emerge. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and changes the world we thought we knew. But, when we try new things, we don’t have thousands of memories behind us of getting from point-a to point-b without a hitch. The fact is, however, that EVs are far simpler machines than gas-powered models, and there’s far less opportunity for your electric motors to malfunction than there is for a gas-powered model to fail. And while you’re on the subject, did you know that EVs require up to 40% less maintenance than gas-powered models over their lifetime? That because they implement far fewer parts!
As with your phone or your laptop, EV batteries do lose range over time. However, if you regularly maintain your EV, our mechanics will be able to closely monitor any shifts in the range of your battery, so you know exactly how far you can go. Also, these decreases in range happen very gradually, and your EV battery is covered by a long-lasting warranty.
The best way to overcome EV range anxiety is to drive an EV. After your first few successful road trips, we’re sure you’ll begin to feel much more confident that your EV can take you anywhere. We also think you’ll notice that the charging station networks are absolutely comprehensive, built out, and finding a place to top off is much, much easier than it used to be!
We’ve answered the questions, “Why do I have range anxiety?”, “Do EVs lose range over time?”, and “How do you overcome range anxiety with an EV?”. If we haven’t touched on your particular concerns, don’t hesitate to call our team at 516-473-0793. We’re happy to answer any more questions you might have about EV range anxiety, and if you’d like to learn more about Mercedes-Benz EVs, we can help with that too!
