Do electric cars do good driving in the mountains?
I'm interested in buying an electric vehicle which is perfect for the city I live in. However, I like to visit my cabin often, and it's located much higher up in the rocks. Will an electric car do good driving in the mountains?

That sounds like the perfect location to me. No worries, an electric car will do great driving in the mountains.
If you love leaving the city and going for a good mountain adventure, you need a car that you can depend on. Your vehicle has to be able to handle steep roads, snowy or icy conditions, rocky terrains, and more. But can an
electric car
take on the job?
Elevation seems to be the primary concern for driving in the mountains. Like a gas-powered car, electric cars tend to use up a lot more energy going up a mountain than on a paved city road. The ride is so smooth because of its seamless acceleration that you wouldn’t even notice the difference.
If that doesn’t convince you, the journey down is even better. Your electric car will make up for some of the power loss because of the power it saves you as you decline. EVs use regenerative braking, so there is no need to downshift or feather the brakes as you drive. You save energy without any effort while staying in total control of your EV.
If you’re interested in saving more than energy, let the Jerry app show you how to save on car insurance. Jerry
