Why go electric?

    • You can save an average of £700 a year by going electric since electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel.

    • Maintenance costs will be lower too. Typical maintenance costs are about £80-£100 less per year for EVs.

    • When it comes to insurance, there are now several EV specific insurers, with premiums falling across the board.

    • Range anxiety is a thing of the past - with many family electric SUV’s surpassing 300 miles, and with new chargers popping up all over the place.

    • Two-thirds of Brits have driveways and can charge at home, so going electric ends up being more convenient than driving to a petrol station.

    • Electric cars can accelerate and stop a lot faster than traditional cars, whilst featuring the latest safety tech as standard, giving you the peace of mind!

    • Electric cars emit nothing from the tailpipe, and help keep our nation clean by reducing air pollution. The advent of regenerative braking also reduces the wear on your brake pads - which has a considerable effect on air quality.

    • The National Grid is becoming more and more sustainable, meaning that the cars are increasingly powered by renewable energy - especially if you choose a 100% renewable provider!

    • Electric cars require less lubricant, fluids, and grease - making maintenance easier and reducing the amount of leakage tremendously, thus keeping your pristine driveway pristine.
