Electric vehicles (EVs) are not just a trend—they’re a smart, sustainable choice. If you're still driving a gasoline-powered car, you might be wondering how much of a difference switching to an EV could really make. Let's take a look at how much money you could save and the many benefits of driving a BYD electric vehicle.
Fuel Costs and Maintenance: Major Savings
If you’re like most drivers, you’re probably spending a significant chunk of your budget on fuel. A traditional gasoline car can cost you anywhere from ₱2,500 to ₱3,500 per week just to keep it running. That's a huge part of your monthly expenses.
But with a BYD EVs, you can bring that down to just ₱1,000 a month for charging—sometimes even less. That’s a weekly saving of ₱2,500 or more, or about ₱10,000 a month. Imagine what you could do with that extra money—whether it's putting it toward your family, enjoying extra meals out, or even saving for the future.
No More Frequent Maintenance Costs
Traditional cars require frequent visits to the mechanic for things like oil changes, brake replacements, and engine maintenance. Over time, these costs can add up to thousands of pesos a year.
With a BYD EV, maintenance is much simpler and more affordable. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and don’t require oil changes, which means fewer trips to the shop and lower maintenance bills. Many EV owners report saving up to 50% on yearly maintenance compared to their gas-powered counterparts. BYD EV also provides 8-year maintenance, with Periodic Maintenance Service (PMS) for the first 3 months or the first 5,000 kms followed by PMS after 6 months, 1 year and so on and so forth.
Government Perks and Other Savings
Switching to an electric vehicle can also come with government incentives. EV owners can enjoy benefits such as lower registration fees, tax exemptions, exemptions to LTO mandatory coding and even TESDA courses on education about EVs. These perks can help you save even more money in the long run, lessen the hassle and making the switch to an EV even more appealing.
Enjoy Your Trips Without the Worry of Fuel Costs
One of the best things about owning a BYD is that you don’t have to stress about rising fuel prices when planning your trips. Imagine hitting the road for a weekend getaway or even a day trip without worrying about how much gas will cost. With free charging stations available at SM Malls nationwide, you can simply drive to an SM Mall, plug in your BYD, and recharge while you enjoy shopping, eating, or relaxing. Terms and conditions apply.
With the EVRO app, finding the nearest charging station is easy, ensuring that you can travel with confidence. Plus, since you’re not spending on fuel, you’ll have more money to enjoy food, entertainment, or other activities during your trip.
A Smarter, Greener Choice
