From Gas Guzzler to Electric Dream: Utah Man Makes the EV Switch

Utah Car Dealership Facilitates Smooth Transition to Electric Vehicle A recent video shows a successful trade-in of a gas-powered Dodge Durango for a Tesla Model 3 at an EV dealership in Utah. The video highlights a common concern among potential electric vehicle buyers: range anxiety in cold climates. The car dealer, Alex, expertly addresses these concerns, easing the customer's apprehension. "The distance on a battery charge definitely goes down in cold weather," Alex explains in the video. "But a good rule of thumb is between 10 and 20 percent reduction in range." The customer, Chris, expresses satisfaction with the deal, emphasizing the affordability of the Tesla after tax credits. He also mentions his limited daily driving needs, making the reduced range less of a concern. The successful transaction symbolizes a growing trend of consumers embracing electric vehicles, even in areas with harsh winter conditions.
