You’re not alone if you have doubts about going electric. Many people still have never owned one – but the accelerated ban on petrol/diesel cars (now 2035) has put them to the forefront of drivers’ minds. It’s time to get ahead of the curve!
The best way to find the perfect electric vehicle for you is to learn more about what they can offer. Think about how they can suit your driving needs. From a nippy city car or a capable family hatchback to a sporty SUV, there’s an EV that will complement your driving priorities.
Thankfully, there are many positives to owning an electric vehicle. Take a look at some of the benefits below.
Environment
Electric vehicles play a key role in improving air quality, by producing zero tailpipe emissions. This results in cleaner air, particularly in and around more built-up cities and towns. This helps the planet and people's health.
Running costs
Charging your car is cheaper than filling a petrol or diesel vehicle. How much you save depends on where you charge your car – it’s cheapest to charge up at home. With less moving parts compared to petrol and diesel vehicles, servicing costs are also lower. Plus, driving into major cities is free, and there’s zero vehicle tax on fully electric cars.
Accessible charging points
In the early days after electric vehicles were first introduced, charging points were few and far between. Luckily, since then, charging points are now more readily available and can be found in many public places. Take a look at this guide to charging your EV.
If you’re leasing your first fully electric car on the Motability Scheme, the Scheme will arrange and cover the cost of a home charge-point and a standard installation (i.e. next to your home).
Performance
The acceleration capabilities of electric cars are often surprising. They’re extremely responsive with maximum torque from standstill. It also helps that electric cars are much lighter than combustion engine vehicles.
Convenient for families
For those looking for a family-friendly car, don’t rule out electric vehicles. Many EVs are more spacious than conventional cars due to not having a large combustion engine under the bonnet. They offer a smoother drive and produce much lower noise levels.
