The Benefits of Buying Electric

There’s many reasons to make the change to electric and hybrid performance, with financial and environmental benefits among the most significant. Running costs, for example, are a fraction of the cost of petrol/diesel powered models, while there’s no road tax or congestion charges to be paid. What’s more, fewer moving components found in the engine mean that maintenance costs are lower too. For fully electric models, you can also benefit from zero CO2 emissions being released into the environment around us, making for a healthier atmosphere everywhere.

Key Benefits

Among the key benefits of switching to electric or hybrid power are:

  • Greener performance with fewer CO2 emissions
  • Fast performance with instant torque
  • Cheaper running costs
  • Convenient to own with charging solutions available
Mild-hybrid

Mild-hybrid

Mild-hybrid vehicles are those which incorporate a small battery to complement the combustion engine. They are self-charging through a process called regenerative braking and will improve the fuel efficiency of the engine.
Plug-in-hybrid

Plug-in hybrid

As the name suggests, a plug-in hybrid needs charging at a suitable outlet but has the ability to run on all-electric power for a limited range - often up to 40 miles. Performance switches from electric to combustion engine almost imperceptibly.
All-electric

All-electric

With a higher capacity battery, all-electric vehicles run on electricity alone and have zero CO2 emissions. As such, they are the most efficient and economical option available with ranges of up to 300 miles achievable.
