Porsche EV Buyer's Guide

EV Benefits for Drivers in California

The future of electric driving is now undeniable, but what does that mean for your trips around Santa Monica and Redondo Beach? We at Porsche South Bay are not only excited about the all-new Porsche Taycan EV, but we're here to introduce you to the benefits of buying or leasing a new electric vehicle and how they can help improve your daily life. Our centers near Santa Monica and West Hollywood have extensive knowledge of electric cars in Los Angeles, and we want you to know everything you can benefit from when you buy or lease a new Porsche Taycan from our Hawthorne center.

National discount for electric cars

As vehicle electrification continues to gain traction in the United States, the federal government is offering several incentives and rebates for purchasing or leasing electric vehicles. Depending on the model you choose, you can earn up to $7,500 in credits when you buy or lease a new EV. Not only does this make your purchasing decision easier, but it also means a lot to you when you file your taxes at the end of the year after buying your new Taycan.

California Electric Vehicle Rebates and Incentives

In California, whether you buy a PHEV, full electric or fuel cell electric vehicle, you can enjoy a state-funded EV rebate to reduce the fossil fuel burden you face in our state. Qualifying vehicle incentives range from $1,000 to $4,500, so you can enjoy up to $12,000 in tax credits and incentives among state and federal benefits when purchasing an electric vehicle for your California lifestyle.

Local advantages

Beating Los Angeles traffic is no easy task, but electric vehicles make it a little easier. Electric cars can use carpool lanes even if you're driving alone, so you can skip the heavy traffic and enjoy the dedicated lanes simply by purchasing an electric car.

Charge Your Car at Home

Imagine how convenient life would be if you had a gas pump in your driveway and could start each day with a full tank. When buying an electric vehicle, charging at home gives you a convenient start to the day. Charging overnight means your electric car is ready to go at full power every morning, so you don't have to worry about hitting the gas station and adding a stop to your morning commute. In addition, tax credits can offset the costs of installing dedicated EV charging stations at your home, so you can pay even less for this added convenience.

Fast Chargers in LA

Los Angeles is one of the best cities in the US for electric vehicles, with charging stations throughout Torrance, Burbank, and other locations. You can charge your battery almost anywhere since you're always within a few blocks of an EV charging point. This means you can charge your battery when you walk into a coffee shop or have lunch with friends instead of making an extra stop somewhere else. Rather than stopping at a gas station separately, you can run errands while your vehicle gets the extra charge it needs from one of Los Angeles County's thousands of EV charging stations.

Enthralling Performance

While the idea of gasoline cars disappearing makes some fans nervous, EVs deliver a level of performance that is far beyond anything you can get with a spark plug. While the numbers don't have to jump off the stat sheet, the instantaneous torque in the electric car's engine provides mind-boggling acceleration. The truth is, because there is no torque curve, even the initial acceleration of a low-powered electric car will get you off the line faster than a gas car, and with a high-performance EV like the Taycan you'll find the performance to be truly intoxicating.

Regenerative braking

If the idea of a car that fuels itself while driving seems out of the ordinary, an electric vehicle may change your mind. With regenerative braking, the electric car uses forward motion to charge the battery while slowing down, helping to increase the efficiency of the electric car and extend your range. Using the spinning wheels as turbines, electricity is fed back into the battery when you let off the gas, giving you a few extra miles between charges.

About Porsche Taycan

Porsche's first all-electric vehicle is already here, and the Porsche Taycan offers thrilling Porsche performance without the need for fuel. Impressive performance figures range up to 616 horsepower and 750 horsepower depending on the model, while all-wheel drive capability means you have confidence to get that power to the ground.
