New Online Cost Calculator Aims To Revive EV Sales In The US

Following the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit on September 30, analysts remain cautiously optimistic that automakers and dealerships will introduce new incentives to sustain electric vehicle (EV) sales in the US. The nonprofit organization Veloz highlights that most current EV owners are likely to continue purchasing electric vehicles, which should help maintain market momentum. Additionally, Veloz aims to attract new buyers—particularly those switching from gas-powered cars—by offering tailored online tools that provide personalized information based on individual driving habits and local conditions. Veloz has launched a suite of resources including a new gas and maintenance savings calculator that estimates potential cost savings from switching to an EV, factoring in variables such as annual mileage, vehicle type, local gas prices, and charging preferences. Other tools include a Used EV Finder for locating affordable used EVs by zip code and an AI-powered EV Chat assistant that answers personalized questions about EV ownership. These tools are designed to boost consumer confidence and highlight the total cost of ownership
