Low charging costs, reduced service costs, minimal mileage costs. By nature, an electric car keeps your vehicle expenses in check. Add potential government grants and incentives, and buying one makes even more sense.

- 01.A full charge for less
On average, charging an electric car is cheaper than refuelling a petrol car. In Australia, the cheapest way to charge your car is to use a power supply at home. Plugging into a fast DC charger at a motorway charging station is more expensive, but most EV drivers will only do so a small amount of the time.
- 02.Low maintenance
Electric cars have far fewer moving parts when compared with conventional cars. Therefore, the service intervals are further apart, and the amount of maintenance that needs to be done is relatively limited. EVs such as Polestar 2 even allow remote diagnostics through their onboard internet connection, meaning that potential technical issues get noticed before becoming costly repairs.
- 03.Minimal wear and tear
As electric powertrains are less complicated and more efficient, wear and tear become less of a consideration. Electric motors and battery packs are built to last, and regenerative braking ensures that brake pads and discs endure well. Essentially, tyres, wiper blades and washer fluid are the parts that require the most attention. Nothing compared to all the items that can add to the maintenance costs of a conventional car.
- 04.Financing options
Once you have chosen the Polestar that meets your specifications, you'll be able to apply for the financing option that suits you best.

A number of incentives and benefits are available to help you make the switch to buying an electric car. These vary by State and Territory and include rebates, zero Stamp Duty and reduced Vehicle Registration fees. Electric Vehicles also attract less Luxury Car Tax.
