Charge Your Electric Car in Bowie

Need to charge your electric car? There are a few stations nearby to keep you topped off for your eco-friendly commute.

Looking for a new way to go green on your commute to work? If you're in the market for an electric vehicle, you'll certainly have your pick. 

Electric vehicles can provide up to three times the power conversion compared to their gas-powered counterparts and boast an engine that operates more quietly and requires less maintenance, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. To top it off, buying an eco-friendly car can net you a federal tax credit of up to $7,500.

Though electric cars are more energy-efficient, you can still travel up to three times as far in some internal-combustion vehicles. Another thing to consider is electric car batteries are expensive to replace and can take up to eight hours to charge.
