Like our beautiful weather in FL, EVs have a warm future filled with sunshine thanks to BMW dealerships like BMW of Pembroke Pines. You have many reasons why you should invest in a BMW today rather than wait a few years.
If you want to save money on refueling costs, an EV is for you. Perhaps it’s time to buy a world-class BMW electric vehicle to elevate every Miami drive when you don’t want to worry about transmission fluid changes, radiator maintenance, and oil changes.
See what’s in store with our BMW EV first-time buyer’s guide. There are plenty of options on our lot in Pembroke Pines right now.
Shopping for a BMW electric vehicle is a bit different from a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. We’ll go over what to look for in an EV in detail.
Costs and prices are often the biggest consideration when shopping for a new vehicle. And with good reason, because investing in a new car is a big decision. You want to get the most out of your investment.
Owning a BMW EV gives you the opportunity to reduce your overall costs of ownership. Why? You won’t need oil changes and some other fluid changes because there are fewer moving parts. However, you’ll need to keep an eye on the tires and brakes because EVs are heavier than internal combustion engine models even if they are a similar size.
You’ll also need to install a special home charger to make charging in your Fort Lauderdale garage much easier. We highly recommend the BMW Wallbox for home charging. You’ll need an electrician to install one in your Pembroke Pines garage or carport. But this is often still cheaper than gasoline! You could charge your BMW EV overnight, while you’re sleeping, with a home charging box installed.
BMW also offers two years of free DC Fast Charging service with the purchase or lease of a new BMW EV on the Electrify America charging network! You can road trip for free during the first two years of owning your BMW EV.
The overall range between charges is probably the second-most important consideration for BMW EV owners in Hollywood. Luckily, BMW EVs get plenty of range when you go for weekend getaways to your favorite beach, resort, or outdoor destination. You’ll also do well on summer road trips with your family.

Ready to go on long drives? You’ll need to map out your trip to make sure your EV will have plenty of power at the ready. There are numerous DC Fast Charging stations available to the public, which you can find with the My BMW App. Many major metropolitan areas, cities, and well-traveled interstate highways have public charging stations at popular locations, making long trips possible for every vacation you’re planning.
Prices will vary at these stations because electricity costs fluctuate like the cost of gasoline. Also, take into account how often you’ll use the air conditioner or heater because those run on electricity from the EV battery. Extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures may reduce the range of your BMW EV, so plan ahead for that as you map your journey from stop to stop.
The battery warranty is important for BMW EV owners because you want the powerplant to last for many years. BMW has an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty on the battery. You won’t have to worry about the EV battery for a long time! If it requires replacement before this time, the automaker will replace it based on the current warranty limitations.
Now you know what to look for in an EV. Ready for the next steps? We invite you to take the wheel of a new BMW in Pembroke Pines. Contact us, call , or schedule a test drive with our team. We’re happy to help in any way we can.
