At our Buick and GMC dealer in Athens, we're proud to offer a range of electric options that cater to different needs and lifestyles. Here’s a detailed look at why making the switch to an electric vehicle is a smart and rewarding decision, whether buying vs. leasing is right for you!


Benefits of Buying an Electric Vehicle
Our new GMC electric vehicles in Athens come with tremendous advantages. Whether it's the thrill of nearlyinstant torque or the long-term financial benefits of ownership, there are compelling reasons to make your next vehicle electric.

Reduce your carbon footprint
Investing in an electric vehicle is a significant step toward reducing your carbon footprint. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases. By switching to electric, you are contributing to a cleaner, greener environment and playing a part in the fight against climate change.

Near-instant torque, exciting acceleration
One of the most exhilarating benefits of driving an electric car is the near-instant torque and exciting acceleration. Electric motors deliver power more efficiently than internal combustion engines, resulting in a smoother, more responsive driving experience. Feel the thrill of rapid acceleration every time you get behind the wheel of your GMC HUMMER EV Pickup in Alabama.

Paying for eventual ownership
Choosing to finance an EV means that once you have completed your payments, the vehicle is yours to keep. This long-term investment can deliver great value as you save on fuel and maintenance costs over the years.

What Are the Benefits of Leasing an EV?
Leasing an electric vehicle is an excellent option if you don't drive often or prefer to switch vehicles every few years. Leasing an EV can offer financial flexibility and access to the latest models without the commitment of ownership.
Residual value and lower payments
Residual value is a crucial aspect when leasing a car. It represents the vehicle's worth at the end of the lease term, which directly impacts your monthly lease payments. Generally, EVs hold their residual value well, resulting in lower monthly payments and overall cost advantages.
Upgrade models every few years
Leasing an EV allows you to enjoy the newest features and most advanced technology by upgrading to a newer model every few years. You can stay on the cutting edge of automotive innovation without the hassle of long-term ownership.
Benefit from new GMC specials and tax incentives
Leasing an EV lets you take advantage of current GMC specials and potential federal or state tax incentives. These financial benefits can make leasing an EV more affordable and accessible, allowing you to drive an eco-friendly vehicle without breaking the bank.
