EV benefits

  • Better for the environment

    Many of us want to do our bit to help the environment, and electric vehicles are a brilliant way to do this by reducing emissions and lowering carbon footprint.

    Fully electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions, which means they are greener, cleaner, and better for our environment.

    Plug-in hybrids also emit zero tailpipe emissions, but only when being driven in electric mode, which will differ depending on their EV range.

  • Cheaper to run

    Is an EV cheaper to run than petrol or diesel? A purely electric vehicle could cost less per mile than a traditional petrol or diesel car. 

    Plug-in hybrids efficiently combine an electric motor with a petrol or diesel engine, meaning they too could be cheaper to run. The cost savings will be greatest when owners charge at home and have access to an off-peak overnight electricity tariff.
  • Lower maintenance costs

    While the initial price of an EV may be higher than its petrol or diesel counterpart, the cost to fuel and maintain one is significantly cheaper in the long run.

    When you think of petrol or diesel vehicles, you appreciate that the engines are rather complex, requiring many additional components to operate correctly, such as exhaust systems, starter motors, fuel injection systems, oil, radiators, and gears.

    Pure electric vehicles, on the other hand, have fewer moving parts and only three main components: the on-board charger, inverter, and motor. This means there are fewer things requiring maintenance, and servicing is simpler. All of which could significantly save money.

  • Government funding

    Government goals to increase the number of drivers choosing an EV mean there are currently several great incentives designed to make EVs more accessible.

    Grants are available towards the cost of installing a home charging point. The government’s Workplace Charging Scheme also provides eligible businesses with support towards the cost of installing workplace charging points.

    For businesses and their drivers, the support from the government is even greater. In addition to the grants, there is also reduced Benefit in Kind tax (BiK), Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), and capital allowances.

    And with the increase in Clean Air Zones and Ultra Low Emission Zones being introduced around the country with fees designed to discourage polluting vehicles from entering certain areas, a key benefit of an electric car is being exempt from these charges.

  • Improved driving experience

    Not only are EVs quieter to drive, they’re better to handle overall thanks to the heavy batteries that are mounted in the chassis, creating a low centre of gravity.

    Electric vehicles also provide instant torque from zero revs, making them extremely fun to drive.

    Finally, the regenerative braking when easing off the accelerator, which feeds energy back into the battery, adds to their efficiency.

  • Convenient charging

    Most cars remain parked, either at home or at work, for the majority of the day, making the option for constant charging one of the biggest benefits for EV drivers.

    Do you know that in the UK, the average daily journey and commute are under 30 miles?

    The greatest benefit of electric vehicles is that they can be charged anywhere there is an electric socket. At home, at your workplace, in car parks, or even while you do your weekly shop at the supermarket.

    And even for those longer journeys, the number of charging points across the UK is growing rapidly, so while you visit the services for a comfort break and a coffee, you can be confident that your battery can be topped up before you head on to your final destination.
