Why buy an electric car for a 1 year old or a 2 year old?  

Around the time of their first birthday, children really start to develop their skills and are ready to test their growing independence. They&#;ll often be walking, saying their first words and playing with more complex toys. Electric cars for 1 year olds can therefore encourage this sense of independence and are also a whole lot of fun. Here&#;s a few reasons why baby electric cars are a great idea:

• Imaginative play &#; Vehicles based on real life jobs, such as tractors, police cars and fire trucks stimulate a child&#;s imagination and get them thinking creatively. 
• Motor skills &#; Learning to press the pedal and move their car will further develop your child&#;s gross motor skills, while pushing buttons and using a steering wheel are good for fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
• Safe yet exciting &#; Young children will get a real thrill from whizzing around on their ride on, but they&#;re also a safe way for parents to let children try something new, especially remote control cars for infants, which let adults control the car. 
• Freedom &#; Toddlers are desperate to do things for themselves. Having the freedom to explore the world at a slightly faster pace shows you trust them and helps them grow in confidence.
• Sensory development &#; With fun sounds like horns and music players, as well flashing lights and vivid colours, baby electric cars promote sensory development and capture children&#;s attention.
• Social skills &#; As they get a little bigger and enjoy being with others, electric cars for 2 year olds can be an ideal way for children to learn to share and socialise with friends, especially if you choose a two seater ride on car. 

Safety features of electric cars for 1 year olds 

Safety is perhaps a parent&#;s biggest concern when shopping for a baby electric car. No matter how old your little one is, you want to know they&#;re safe, but with 1 and 2 year olds who are still learning, you want some added peace of mind. These are the key safety features to look out for when shopping for toddler ride on cars:

Remote controls

One of the best safety features you can get with an electric car for 1 year old children is a remote control. In fact, they are just as useful for 2 year old children, no matter how grown up they think they are. A ride on car with a remote control can be driven by children, but also easily overridden by parents who can use the remote to take control of the vehicle. Not only is this safe and secure, but good for smaller children who might not yet be able to reach the pedals.  

Seat belts  

Seat belts aren&#;t just a brilliant safety feature, but they also make children feel like they&#;re in a real grown-up car. They have to be responsible just like grown-ups are and will learn to buckle their own seat belt. Then, when they whizz off, you know they&#;re strapped in and secure.

Opening doors  

To avoid trips or accidents, having an electric car with doors that actually open makes things much easier on little legs. You won&#;t need to worry about them climbing in or out of their car, but will be able to watch as they learn to easily open the door and get in and out. Opening doors are often found on mini replicas of popular cars, such as Mercedes and Audi models. 

Foot-to-floor models  

Foot-to-floor ride-ons, as the name suggests, need to be pushed forward using the feet, so they&#;re a wonderful alternative to electric cars for 1 year olds, putting your child completely in control without you worrying they&#;ll zoom off. They also encourage physical activity and help young bones grow stronger. 

Handles  

Some foot-to-floor ride on cars also come with a handle included so adults can push the toy forward. This is perfect for tired legs or for when toddlers are just getting comfortable and confident with their new ride on toy.

The best electric cars for 1 year olds and 2 year olds

Now we know why children&#;s electric cars are such a good gift and the safety features to be aware of, let&#;s take a look at some of the best electric cars for 1 year olds and, for slightly older toddlers, the best electric cars for 2 year olds.

This Lamborghini foot-to-floor ride on is an ideal entry level alternative to baby electric cars, allowing toddlers to push along themselves. It&#;s available in green, orange or white and also comes with a handle that adults can use for added ease and convenience.

Here are some key questions to ask your dealership to ensure you get the best deal & EV experience

1. Does my EV come with a wall-mounted Level 2 charger?
2. Who do you recommend for my home EV charger installation?
3. Does this EV qualify for either federal or state level rebates?
4. Will I receive any public charging benefits from purchasing this EV?
5. What do EV models have that models do not?

What are the key factors to consider at a dealership when buying an EV?

When buying an EV, amongst other things in other types of vehicles like safety features, you need to consider:

• The size of your EV&#;s battery
• The range of your EV
• How high your EV&#;s battery voltage is for fast charging
• What is the amperage of the onboard charger or how many kW your EV can accept?
• Any available incentives
• Your charging options. For more information on different types of chargers and their charge times, visit our blog post on level 1 versus level 2 charging.
• The warranty and maintenance schedule of your new EV

For used EVs, also consider:

• The remaining battery life of the vehicle or SoC (State of Charge) of the battery
• Maintenance history of the EV
• Whether the EV is under $25k to qualify for used tax credits

How long will it take to get my EV once I order it?

As of summer , EV supply in dealerships is high, with the average EV sitting on dealership lots for 92 days! This was not always the case. In the past, EV buyers had to wait months for delivery of their cars. This is still the case for popular models like the Cadillac Lyriq, GMC Hummer EV, and rarer models.

Used EV supply is also growing, and there are some great deals to be found! However, our experience shows that a used EV does not stay long at a dealership.

Can I trust dealership prices for EVs?

Many horror stories have come out of dealerships marking up the MSRP by tens of thousands of dollars. Especially in light of recent supply chain shortages and EV manufacturing delays, certain dealers have felt inclined to markup their MSRP to completely unreasonable prices.

Fortunately, though, attention has been brought to this issue and OEMs are taking action. Ford, for example, has informed dealerships that they must agree to no-haggle pricing in order to carry electric Ford vehicles. Indeed, Ford is not alone. Companies such as GM, Hyundai, Nissan, and Subaru have reputedly taken similar action. And, given that companies such as Tesla don&#;t operate dealerships, prices are standardized whether on their website or in a Tesla gallery where orders may be placed.

In general, excluding rare and extremely in demand models, EV prices have been normalizing around MSRP.

What is MSRP?

Informally referred to as &#;sticker price&#;, MSRP stands for Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price, representing the manufacturer&#;s recommended vehicle selling price. Importantly, though, it is only a recommendation. At the dealer&#;s discretion, the sales price can be higher or lower than the vehicle&#;s MSRP which consists of both the base price of the vehicle and any additional options that the vehicle is equipped with.

Where can I find EV dealerships near me?

You can also visit Electric For All&#;s electric vehicle dealer map. Here, you can input your zip code and receive the names, addresses, and numbers of EV-certified dealerships in close proximity to you. Before visiting, though, just make sure to call to ensure that they have vehicles in stock.

Do dealerships help with EV charging?

It ultimately varies from dealership to dealership, but many provide incentive information to clients or even have an in-house DC fast charger. However, for your convenience, you should consider installing an EV charger at your home. We believe that the best user experience is to wake up every morning with a full tank (battery) of your electric car.

Which OEM dealerships have the best EV buying experience?

As more and more OEMs begin to manufacture electric vehicles, there have been questions on whether or not the traditional dealership model would be preferable. With companies like Tesla and Rivian employing online and in-store ordering for all their vehicles, many potential EV buyers are wondering which sales model and experience will serve them best.

Well, according to a recent study conducted by a research firm called Pied Piper Management Company, EV buyers have been more satisfied with the traditional dealer experience. The top 5 prospect satisfaction OEMs included Cadillac, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Acura, and Volvo. EV buyers have reported a more personalized with such companies. For Pied Piper&#;s satisfaction ranking of 25 OEMs, view the following article from Kelley Blue Book.
