<div id="readability-page-1"><div>A Tesla owner has given curious drivers insight into the potential savings of switching to an electric vehicle.Allen Tran (@allenvert) posted a TikTok showing the estimated amount of money he saved in the first year of owning his Tesla. While he expected higher gas savings, he did cut his monthly fueling expenses by about $30. The real money saver was in maintenance, he said.His previous car was certainly luxurious. However, he said that the maintenance costs added up to tens of thousands over a few short years.&#34;I've already racked up almost 15,000 miles on this car,&#34; he said. &#34;And the only repairs I had to do was swapping out two tires in the back, which cost about $600. And the more I drive this car, the more savings I will actually get from not having to repair this car as much.&#34;Tran highlighted a major perk of owning an electric vehicle: the savings. One study found that driving electric can cut your gas and maintenance expenses up to $8,000.Many models are becoming more affordable, and options are becoming more plentiful. This makes switching to an EV more accessible to everyone, allowing more drivers to take advantage of these benefits. Plus, it cuts the amount of dirty, heat-trapping pollution that drivers release.EV owners can install chargers at home, which can save them hundreds in annual charging costs. Qmerit is helping homeowners who are interested in installing Level 2 EV chargers by providing free, instant installation estimates.People can further maximize their savings by getting home solar, which can bring their home energy rate down to nearly $0. TCD's Solar Explorer is a helpful tool that allows homeowners to understand their installation options and save money. Partners such as EnergySage can help save you up to $10,000 on installation costs by comparing competitive bids from vetted local installers.Other TikTok users found Tran's video helpful, saying it clarified the benefits of switching to an EV, and some shared their own savings after going electric.&#34;No oil changes, no transmission rebuilds, no need for timing belt replacements and engine repairs. I think it's a huge savings,&#34; one person said.&#34;Soooo… get solar and get free gas for life? Why not charge at home? Teslas have almost zero maintenance,&#34; another suggested.<div><div>Would you pay extra to charge your EV more quickly?<figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" height="14" width="14" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31"/></figure> Absolutely <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" height="14" width="14" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31"/></figure> No way <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" height="14" width="14" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31"/></figure> It depends on the cost <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" height="14" width="14" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_cool_down_737/6a4fabfa69039ce3c957de05a13ccd31"/></figure> It depends on the speed Click your choice to see results and speak your mind.</div></div>Get TCD's free newsletters for easy tips to save more, waste less, and make smarter choices — and earn up to $5,000 toward clean upgrades in TCD's exclusive Rewards Club.</div></div>
