Acura ZDX Frequently Asked Questions
What
are some of the benefits of an electric vehicle (EV)?
Electric
vehicles (EVs) are powered by electricity from a rechargeable battery. This
simplified drivetrain in an EV gives engineers more flexibility to design a
spacious interior while improving safety for both drivers and passengers.
What's
it like to drive an EV?
EVs offer
an adrenaline-pumping drive by providing instant acceleration. By placing the
battery in the floor, EVs also have a lower center of gravity, ensuring agile
handling on the road.
Would
my routine need to change in order to own an EV?
While there will likely be some changes to your
routine, like planning ahead for places to charge on longer road trips and no
longer needing to stop at a gas station, the easiest way to keep the same
routine is to charge at home. Simply plug in with a Level 2 charger overnight
and wake up to a fully charged battery. When you do need to charge while on the
road, some quick planning can help ensure that you can shop, eat or run errands
while your ZDX charges.
How
much maintenance is required for an EV?
The maintenance on an EV is minimal.
EVs do not require scheduled oil changes, for example, but will still need
regular service on items like tire rotations, alignments, and air filter
changes. The ZDX will also need to have its battery, electric motor and cooling
system inspected.
What
if I want to take a road trip?
Planning ahead and checking what
charging options are available on your route to your destination can help
ensure the best road trip experience possible. Finding the charging stations
that will be available on your drive through mobile apps or using the Google
built-in* integration in the ZDX can help optimize your charging and keep you
on track to arrive at your destination on-time. Many public charging stations
are now located near restaurants and shopping so you can time your charging
with meals or stretch your legs while you wait.
