Behind the wheel
Hear from real people who have made the switch
-
The first-time driver
“I decided to go electric even before I started learning to drive. I quickly realised that I could potentially save a lot of money going electric as the charging costs are substantially lower than for a petrol or diesel. I’ve never driven a combustion engine vehicle and don’t expect to.”
-
The petrolhead
“I’m hugely into cars and have been all my life. I was always a massive petrolhead and have been lucky to have driven some high-performance cars including Ferraris, Jaguars and even a Hummer. Last April we ditched the diesel and bought a Kia e-Niro – it’s been fantastic and is an excellent family car.”
-
The electric enthusiast
“My e-Niro costs me 1p per mile or less compared to 15p per mile for a diesel! Taking the e-Niro on long journeys is not an issue – I get around 260 miles range out of the e-Niro and have not needed to recharge the vehicle in public yet. I have taken my kids to North Wales in the vehicle and not even needed to recharge.”
-
The rural driver
“When I drove a petrol car, I used to drive to a nearby town to refuel. I can now recharge from home for free, using my solar panels! The car is nippy, and it’s easy to put your foot down. I don’t think that charging is nearly as big of an issue as people make it out to be, and this car is especially comfortable, with great handling for rural roads”.
-
The driving instructor
“I drive for a living. The driving experience of my Kia e-Niro is significantly better than my old car and that alone is worth any extra money upfront. I will never go back to driving a petrol or diesel, and my students love it.”
-
The city driver
“When I got my car, I lived in an apartment and could not charge my vehicle outside my building. With all the charging available in the city, I topped up when and where I could. My local council has made it so easy to charge your EV. Charging is free for Dundee residents, and there are other low-cost options outside of the city!”
