Benefits of Owning an Audi Hybrid/EV in Oklahoma

The state of Oklahoma wants to reward its drivers for making the switch to cleaner transportation, like Audi's line of electric or hybrid vehicles. There are many personal reasons to choose a fuel-efficient vehicle, like fewer expenses and better vehicle performance, but there are also plenty of state incentives and benefits to take advantage of by choosing an Audi Hybrid or All-Electric Vehicle in Oklahoma. Audi Oklahoma City offers a dynamic line of EV and Hybrid Vehicles, making switching to green transportation simple and exciting. With Hybrid models like the A7, A8, and Q5, you can slowly transition to the electric driving world or go all-in with the all-Electric e-tron Family of crossover SUVs and cars. Let's go over a few of the specific benefits of making a move towards greener transportation.

Rebates

Certain local utility companies offer rebate savings to those who own or lease qualifying electric or hybrid vehicles. One example includes the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) that offers an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Rebate. If your Oklahoma EV meets the requirements, you can be eligible for a rebate of up to $250 with the EVSE Rebate.

Tax Credits

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Tax Credit is a one-time income tax credit of up to $50,000 to put towards the purchase of an alternative fuel vehicle. The specific tax credit amount depends on the gross vehicle weight rating. On the federal level, you can receive anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 in federal tax credits depending on your vehicle's battery capacity. Some may argue that electric or hybrid vehicles can be expensive depending on the model, but tax credits are just one of the ways in which certain incentives significantly cut down the cost of fuel-efficient vehicles.

Saving Opportunities

Electric vehicles, like the Audi e-tron, are a great investment as they tend to save you money over time. Audi's line of all-electric and hybrid vehicles cost less to operate than the average gas-powered vehicle, as electricity costs less per mile than gasoline. Audi EVs and hybrids are also less likely to need expensive repairs and servicing. Think of all the money you could save by skipping certain routine vehicle maintenance like oil changes. Audi electric engines are also less likely to have issues that require big repairs. Gas engines are prone to issues that cause your vehicle to break down, and the repairs often break the bank.

Not only do EVs save you money, but they also save you time. Many people choose to install a charging station at their homes to make charging even more convenient. This allows you to charge on your down time or overnight. Public charging stations are becoming increasingly common across the country and many stations offer fast charging options. Plus, you will never have to stop at a gas station to refuel.

A Cleaner Environment

When you choose an Audi hybrid or EV, you are choosing a healthier environment. Tailpipe emissions contribute to respiratory issues and other negative impacts on the environment. You can significantly cut down on the pollution caused by transportation when you drive a hybrid or electric vehicle. Audi's latest line of All-Electric and Hybrid Electric vehicles are innovative and exquisite, ranging from crossover SUVs to luxury sedans. The benefits of switching to hybrid or all-electric cars are self-evident. Still, Audi goes beyond offering vehicles with poised performance, ride quality beyond compare, up-scale looks, and unmatched safety and reliability standards. The Audi Line offers more value and a more reasonable final sales price than many other EV brands. Audi features a comprehensive range of all-electric vehicles, with various crossovers, SUVs, and Sportback models to choose from, along with the GT model, which is a genuine sports car with an all-electric powertrain.

The Audi e-tron-was introduced in 2019 as the company's first electric vehicle. The midsized luxury SUV produced 402 horsepower and 490lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor set-up and a single-speed transmission. The Sportback version of the e-tron brought sleeker lines and a more athletic look.  For the model year 2023, the e-tron offers minor trim and feature changes to the e-tron S performance model, producing a much more impressive 426 hp due to its triple motor setup and 95-kWh battery. E-tron is an excellent example of how rapidly electric battery technology is changing. The Q4 e-tron offers a better driving range of 241 miles with more cargo space and a fast charge rate of 5% to 80% in just 38 minutes. Audi has plug-in hybrid variations of some of its top-performing models for those not ready to take the full plunge into the all-electric realm.

The Audi Q5 is a comfortable, stylish, dynamic driving experience with progressive technology. The sophisticated Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) drive train gets you from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds thanks to its 363 horsepower. The 2023 Q3 is a compact crossover SUV is a balanced smart design. The 1.4 TSFI combustion engine and electric motor together create a 180 kW of system power. Q3 is Audi's first (PHEV) for the compact SUV class.
