What are the benefits of going into an Electric Vehicle?

A 'Piece Of Cake' To Drive

Imagine just hopping in, selecting 'drive mode,' and effortlessly gliding away with a simple twist of the gear selector, by the steering wheel—it's truly that easy! With no gear changes or heavy pedal work required, you’ll enjoy smooth power delivery, instant 'torque' and ultra-smooth acceleration. Experience the joy of a quieter smoother ride that’s not only simpler but also more thrilling.

Pre-heating

Experience the ultimate convenience and comfort in your electric or hybrid vehicle with pre-heating - often through mobile apps.
Start every journey in a toasty cabin without worrying about draining your battery. Remote climate control allows you to preheat your vehicle while it’s still charging, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and extending your driving range even in the chilliest conditions. You'll enjoy a warm welcome every time you step inside, all while preserving battery life for the road ahead. Pre-heating also benefits the battery by bringing it to an optimal temperature, which improves efficiency and extends driving range, especially in cold weather.

For plug-in hybirds, pre-heating reduces the need to rely on the engine for warmth, further lowering fuel consumption.

Free Parking

The rise in designated parking spaces for electric and hybrid vehicles is transforming our car parks. Many offer FREE or discounted parking, making green choices even more appealing! With convenient access & charging stations available, it's never been easier to recharge while you shop or work.

Slash Your Running Costs & Save Money

Electric and hybrid vehicles can save you in more ways than one.  With fewer moving parts, you'll enjoy lower maintenance costs—say goodbye to oil changes and costly engine repairs. Plus, less frequent servicing intervals means less hassle. With their incredible energy efficiency, you’ll save on fuel costs—EVs run on electricity (cheaper per mile than fuel), while hybrids blend power sources for maximum savings.  Plus, there are often great incentives to reduce your initial investment.

Will a full charge costing about £6 - £10* and providing anywhere between 150 - 300 miles of range, the cost per mile of an electric car can be up to 70% cheaper than petrol or diesel.

Environmentally Friendly

Electric & Hybrid vehicles are paving the way to a greener future! They produce zero tailpipe emissions, cutting down harmful pollutants in our air. Plus, hybrids use both petrol & electric power to save on fuel while you cruise through traffic. With regenerative braking that recycles energy. Let’s make our planet smile and choose eco-friendly rides together.

Company Car Tax Reduction

With no emissions, there is a lower Benefit In Kind cost to driving an electric vehicle if you are a company car driver.

Fast & Easy Home Charging

You can plug in at home and charge your EV overnight with a 7kWh home charger, which means you'll be fully charged by the morning.  Many of our brands are offering first time EV owners a free or reduced price home charger and installation when they buy their first brand new electric vehicle.

Growing Charging Infrastructure

With nearly 80,000 chargers in the UK, and 500 more being added every week*, the infrastructure to charge an electric car is growing fast.  With 80% charge available at service stations in 30-40 minutes, even long journeys can be navigated with little fuss.

Beat The 2030 Deadline

In the UK, no new petrol or diesel cars will be sold after 2030.  The country is transitioning to zero-emission vehicles by 2035.  Hybrid vehicles will still be allowed until 2035, but all new vehicles must be zero-emission by 2035.  Now is a great time to make the switch, with many manufacturer incentives, government grants and tax benefits.  You can get familiar with electric driving and be ahead of the game.
