Why Choose an Electric Vehicle | Switch to EV

One of the most important reason to buy an EV is environmental. Carbon emissions from electric vehicles are around 30% lower than petrol or diesel competitors – even if the electricity used to power them is produced from fossil fuels.

As countries continue to green their electricity supply through renewable energy, electric vehicles will only get cleaner and greener – perhaps as much as 90% less carbon-intensive than petrol models.

Charge up & save money

You'll find the cost savings soon add up!

With fewer moving parts with a battery replacing the engine, you’ll also save on servicing costs as well as benefitting from tax breaks and avoiding low emission zone charges.

Charging at home

Charging an electric vehicle can be as easy as plugging in your smartphone. Most EV users charge their car overnight to wake up with a fully-charged battery. This can be done via a home charging wall-box for easy charging on the driveway, but you can charge from a regular 3-pin power socket too.

Charging on the go

The availability of charging units is ever-expanding. In the UK, there are now around 50,000 connectors in over 18,000 different locations. Compare this to the number of petrol stations in the UK which is only just over 8,000! Rest assured you’ll never be too far from an EV charging point.

There are thousands of free electric car charge points too, located in places like shopping centres and public car parks. What’s not to love about electric driving?

Drive sustainably, no compromises

Research shows that average lifetime emissions from electric cars are around 30% lower than petrol cars in the UK. As the world turns towards renewable sources of electricity, this figure can reach 70%. Choosing to drive an electric car or an electric van can reduce your individual or business’ carbon footprint significantly.

You’d be doing your bit for the planet without compromising on driving experience, as EV’s offer a smooth, powerful acceleration and a silent, responsive drive
