What are the benefits of driving an electric vehicle?

Electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly than ‘traditional’ cars because they have lower emissions and the design/manufacturing processes that are much more considerate of environmental factors.  

Switching to an electric model helps drivers to prepare for the future, as the government has set pledges to cease production of all combustion engine vehicles by 2030.   

• Better for the environment

• Fuel savings if you charge at home

• High performance 

• Low maintenance needed

• Clean air zone fee exemption

• Latest automotive technology 

• Preparing for the future 

Drivers do need to consider that electric vehicles may take some time to get used to driving, as well as needing a charging point in the home or a suitable place to charge to vehicle nearby.  Electric vehicles may also not be suited to long haul journeys due to the time required for the vehicle to reach full charge.  

How do electric vehicles work?

Electric vehicles don't have a combustion engine that's powered by diesel or petrol, they have fully electric chargeable batteries. 

EVs receive energy from the battery, which is then converted into power by an electric motor. This power is used to drive the wheels of the vehicle.  

What is a hybrid vehicle?

 A hybrid vehicle has a combustion engine and an electric motor. There are various types of hybrid car available on the market such as self-charging and plug in hybrids, to suit different driver needs. 

The idea is that the petrol engine exists to power the car on long journeys, with a battery and electric motor providing power for shorter trips.
