With government grants and cheaper running costs, it's no wonder electric cars are hitting record sales. There’s never been a better time to buy an electric vehicle.
It doesn’t just make environmental sense – the cost savings alone mean it makes good financial sense.
Electric vehicles are cheaper to run and maintenance costs are much lower. In fact, electricity costs are 60% cheaper than the equivalent fuel for petrol vehicles. And you won’t pay road tax.
The majority of car journeys in the UK are less than 15 miles. But even if you commute a lot further every day, there’s an electric vehicle to suit everyone.
With increased driving ranges and an ever-expanding public charging infrastructure, now is the time to consider going electric.
150,000 people across the UK have already made the change. Will you be next?
