Acura Is Making Big Strides in the Electric Vehicle Game with Its PrecisionEV Concept

All of the major carmakers are competing to create the most innovative and high-quality electric vehicles (EV). 

Fuel vehicles will be phased out of automakers’ production lines within the coming decades. Whether you are team EV or a skeptic, the reality is that EVs will become the norm. Electrified automobiles will soon become the only choice for consumers looking to buy new cars.

Acura may be placing itself at the top of the pack with its electrification initiative, PrecisionEV. 

Acura will start its “electrified era”  in 2024. If you are looking to buy an electric vehicle in the coming years, read on for what electrification will mean for you, Acura, and the automotive industry as a whole. 

What Drivers Should Spring for Acura EVs?

Acuras are known for creating performance vehicles, and their EVs are going to be following that tradition.

In fact, Acura described its attitude to ensuring that EVs don’t sacrifice performance as an “aggressive stance”, which signals that if you want an EV that will be a powerful ride, then Acura is the brand to go with. 

Benefits of Driving an Electric Acura Vehicle

If you watched the 2023 Super Bowl, you saw plenty of electric vehicle ads that stressed these vehicles’ ability to reach long distances, and the appeal of charging. 

However, there are many more benefits to consider as well, which we’ll detail below.

Electric motors can achieve instant torque at 0 rpm, allowing for faster takeoffs. 

Some states allow EVs access to high-occupancy vehicle lanes, which can save you time on your commutes. 

Batteries are also designed for longevity, with most manufacturers offering an 8-year, or 100,000-mile, warranty for batteries. 

The big draw for many is that low emissions is better for the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average passenger fuel vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. 

This is significant, because it contributes to “the greenhouse effect”, where carbon dioxide lingers in the earth’s atmosphere, letting heat in from without, but not letting heat outside of the earth’s atmosphere. So, the atmospheric layer of carbon dioxide that fuel vehicles contribute to functions much like greenhouse glass that traps heat.

Oh, and you save plenty of money that would otherwise be going to gas. 

Charging Stations Will Be the Next Gas Stations

For many people curious about EVs, the worry is that charging an EV may be a challenge. 

However, there is no need to worry, as electric charging stations are becoming more and more common. In fact there are already close to 50,000 electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S.A. 

If you can afford it, you can get an individual charging station, which 130,000 people have already invested in. 

Will Shell, BP, Chevron, et al be folding now that charging stations are expanding nationwide, while fuel cars are slowly but surely being phased out of the marketplace? 

If your intuition is yes, consider that the manufacturers of fuel vehicles are now making electric vehicles. You can be certain that those gas station chains will be converting to electric charging stations in the future. 

So, there will be more than enough charging stations in the country to get you through your EV road trips in the coming years.
