All About Electric Vehicle Ownership in Omaha

Transitioning to an electric vehicle brings numerous benefits, including reduced environmental impact, lower operating costs, and often a smoother, quieter driving experience. EVs are particularly well-suited for urban environments and daily commutes, making them an excellent choice for drivers in Lincoln and surrounding areas. However, it's important to consider factors such as your typical daily mileage, charging accessibility, and long-term cost savings when deciding if an EV is right for you.

Mazda is making strides in the electrification of its lineup, with models like the new Mazda CX-70 PHEV leading the charge. This all-electric SUV combines Mazda's signature style and driving dynamics with zero-emission technology. For those seeking a blend of electric and traditional power, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV offers an impressive plug-in hybrid option, perfect for drivers in Fremont who want versatility in their vehicle.

At Woodhouse Place Mazda, we also offer a range of pre-owned electric vehicles from various manufacturers, providing options to suit different budgets and preferences. Our knowledgeable sales team can help you explore these choices and find the perfect EV to match your lifestyle.

One of the conveniences of EV ownership is the ability to charge your vehicle at home. Most EV owners find that a Level 2 charger, which can be installed in your garage or driveway, provides ample charging speed for daily use. These chargers can typically fully charge an EV overnight, ensuring you start each day with a full battery. If you don't want to install a special charger, for Mazda PHEV owners in La Vista, even a standard 120V outlet can provide sufficient charging for daily commutes, given the shorter all-electric range of these vehicles.

The network of public charging stations is continually expanding, making EV ownership increasingly convenient. In Omaha and surrounding areas, you'll find a growing number of charging options at shopping centers, parking garages, and along major highways. Many of these stations offer fast-charging capabilities, allowing you to significantly boost your battery level during a short stop. Woodhouse Place Mazda can provide information on local charging infrastructure and help you plan for longer trips. See map below to find a charger near you.

The landscape of EV incentives is evolving, in 2024, federal and state tax credits were available for EV purchases. While the specifics can change in 2025, many electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles may qualify for credits up to $7,500, depending on factors such as vehicle make, model, and assembly location. Additionally, there may be incentives available for home charger installation. Our finance team at Woodhouse Place Mazda stays up-to-date on these offerings and can help you navigate the available incentives to maximize your savings.
