At Knauz Autopark, we're proud of our status as the premier new EV car dealership serving drivers from Lake Forest, IL to Kenosha, WI. But as a new EV dealer, we understand that many of our guests may have lingering reservations about switching from a gasoline or hybrid car to something fully electric. One such concern is what we call "range anxiety", or the worry that driving an EV will lead to situations where you're running out of battery power while either stuck in traffic or out or range of an electric vehicle charger. And while that may have been a valid concern in years past, we think you'll find it's easy to put any lingering range anxiety to rest once you examine the facts and benefits to buying or leasing a new EV at our dealership near Lake Bluff and Gurnee, IL.

You can find EV charging stations all over these days

Go back just five or ten years and you'd be hard-pressed to find an electric charger in your town, but nowadays, they're practically everywhere. Whether you're running errands at your local mall or taking a long-distance trip on the highway, there's a good chance you'll find not just EV chargers close by to the shops and most rest stops, but also designated spaces for EV parking, allowing you to get a guaranteed spot even in busier areas. Best of all, most modern EVs can charge a bulk of their battery capacities in 30 minutes or less at fast-charging stations, so you won't be left waiting around while you're on the go.

EVs can go further than ever before

As time and technology has advanced, electric vehicles have been able to travel further and further. And with systems like automatic stop-start and regenerative braking, some electric vehicles can travel hundreds of miles between charges. In fact, nameplates like our new Mercedes-Benz EQS can travel up to an EPA-estimated 350 miles between charges. That's enough to drive from Highwood, IL to Kenosha, WI over eight times before you'd need to stop off for a recharge.
