More than a money-saving alternative or an environmentally responsible decision, it’s a logical choice. With sticker prices dropping and ranges exceeding 200 miles (on average, Americans drive less than 30 miles each day), more families are clearing garage space for an electric vehicle (EV), with many making it their second car.
How easy is home charging?
See how an electric car can make life a whole lot less complicated. Plug in just about anywhere, then go anywhere...

It’s a fact:
OG&E’s rates are below the national average. So, our customers—and new EV owners in our area—find it less expensive to use electricity all day anyway. But that's only one of the huge benefits of driving electric.

Federal incentives can take as much as $7,500 off the sticker price of any EV.

Sure, OG&E rates are below the national average, with winter rates great for EV drivers. But we can help you save more money…

In addition to federal and state incentives, most every auto insurance company is now offering discounts for drivers of hybrid or electric cars. Why not check with your insurance company?
Many plug-in buyers are choosing to lease rather than buy an EV. And with a growing pre-owned market, make sure to check with local dealerships. Today, there are more options than ever when you go electric.

Regular gas vs. the eGallon
Whether you’re driving to work, or out of town, how much are you spending on gas … when you could use electricity? The eGallon calculator from the Department of Energy provides the answer—showing you how much it costs to drive the same distance on electricity or a gallon of gasoline. You’ll find fueling with gas can cost more than three times the price of electricity (since gas prices fluctuate based on international demand). Give it a try.

Switch to SmartHours
OG&E helps EV drivers charge cheaper. In winter months, November through April, you pay less than half of the standard rate for any usage over 600 kWh (which is more than the average household will use).
Money-saving programs help too. During summer, switch to SmartHours and charge your EV with nearly half-price, off-peak electricity on weekdays and all weekend—at only 5¢ per kWh. With some EVs being able to travel five miles on one kWh, you could spend as little as 1¢ per mile to power your EV!
It’s a fact: Every month, OG&E has rates well below the national average (and much lower than gas pump prices).

LOW MAINTENANCE
No more oil changes. Or spark plugs. Or fan belts. So, there’s much less maintenance.

You’ve heard about the efficiency and low cost, but check out the electric feeling of new high-tech EVs.
HIGH TECH
From the state-of-the-art amenities, to the head-rush of immediate torque and the prestige of ‘going green,’ EVs are an exciting investment.
No oil or spark plug changes. Same for fan belts, or any other replacement parts for a car that runs on gas. What’s more, the brakes on an electric car also have a longer life because EVs slow down by reversing the electric motor rather than by mechanical friction. This means an EV is not only a ‘green choice,’ but an economic choice.
While there are many different makes and models of electric cars, you can sense the instant torque and acceleration on most any—zero to 60 is quick and quiet. Literally, because electric motors make no noise and provide the quietest ride available. Also, with the battery weight so low in the vehicle, and since all their torque is available from a standstill, EVs can be remarkably agile—like a sports car.
It could be the biggest myth. You might think electric vehicles are sluggish and a dull experience. You’d be wrong. We’ve talked about the exciting ride, but the ‘cool factor’ of driving an EV is off the charts. All the techy amenities are there, from rear-view cameras to connectivity. And thanks to the ‘Tesla glow,’ many who switch to the eco-friendly status of driving an EV will never look back. Oh, and they’re literally cool too, since EVs emit significantly less heat than gas-powered vehicles.

Since they have no tailpipe, and produce no byproducts of combustion, all EVs are zero-emission vehicles.

All-electric cars have no tailpipe. Not a one. And because they have no heat or byproducts of gasoline combustion, EVs are zero-emission vehicles. The DOE reports that a car running on gas emits 75 lbs. of CO2 during a 100-mile trip. Compare that to 32 lbs. of CO2 emitted from a power plant to generate enough electricity to power an EV for the same 100 miles. And when you rely on OG&E’s renewable power, like solar or wind, the emissions are even less for EVs.

How to charge an EV (P.S. It’s easy)
Charge up at home overnight using a standard wall outlet. Or install a level 2 plug in your garage—like you use for a dryer—for faster charging. Or simply stop by a charging station, they’re popping up all over. There are multiple options when powering your new electric vehicle.
TYPES OF CHARGERSThere are different levels of charging to meet your needs. Learn the three main categories:
- Level 1 - Typically a portable charger, it provides up to 5 miles in range for each hour charging.
- Level 2 - Typically a hardwired charger installed at your residence, workplace or public parking, which provides up to 20 miles in range for each hour charging.
- Level 3 (DC Fast Charge) - Located exclusively at public parking areas, these can provide up to 70 miles in range per 20 minutes of charging.
