Electric & Hybrid Benefits

Discover the advantages of choosing an electric or hybrid vehicle

Why Choose Electric or Hybrid?

Whether you're looking to reduce running costs, lower emissions or enjoy the latest driving technology, electric and hybrid vehicles offer a range of benefits for both private and business drivers. They provide a smoother, quieter and more efficient driving experience, with options to suit short local journeys, daily commuting and longer-distance travel. With lower maintenance requirements, growing charging infrastructure and potential tax advantages, making the switch can be a practical choice for both today and the future.

Lower Running Costs

Electric vehicles typically cost less to run than petrol or diesel models. Charging at home or work can be considerably cheaper than refuelling, while hybrid vehicles may help reduce fuel consumption, particularly on shorter journeys.
- Lower fuel or charging costs
- Reduced servicing requirements
- Fewer moving mechanical parts
- Lower maintenance costs over time
Tax Benefits for Businesses

Electric vehicles can offer attractive tax advantages for company car drivers and businesses.
- Low Benefit-in-Kind tax rates
- Potential Corporation Tax relief
- 100% First-Year Allowances on qualifying vehicles
- Lower employer National Insurance contributions
Reduced Environmental Impact

Choosing an electric or hybrid vehicle can help reduce your impact on the environment.
- Zero tailpipe emissions from fully electric vehicles
- Lower CO? emissions
- Improved local air quality
- Support for a more sustainable future
Smooth and Quiet Driving

Electric motors provide instant torque, creating a smooth, quiet and responsive driving experience.
- Instant acceleration
- Reduced noise and vibration
- Comfortable everyday driving
- Refined performance
Lower Maintenance Requirements

Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than traditional petrol or diesel vehicles, which can mean less wear and fewer routine maintenance requirements.
- No engine oil changes
- Reduced brake wear through regenerative braking
- Fewer engine components
- Potentially lower servicing costs
Charge at Home or on the Go

Charging is becoming increasingly convenient, with home charging options and a growing network of public charging points.
- Convenient home charging
- Rapid public charging options
- Expanding nationwide charging infrastructure
- Easy overnight charging
Clean Air Zone Benefits

Many fully electric vehicles are exempt from Clean Air Zone (CAZ) and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges, helping drivers save money when travelling in participating cities. If you regularly drive into urban areas for work or leisure, the savings can quickly add up.
- London ULEZ: Save £12.50 per day with an exempt vehicle.
- Clean Air Zones: Some cities charge up to £9–£12.50 per day for non-compliant cars and up to £100 per day for some vans, buses and HGVs.
- Daily commuters could save over £3,000 per year by avoiding a £12.50 daily charge (based on 5 days a week).
- Ideal for businesses operating in city centres, helping reduce fleet running costs.
- Greater freedom to travel in low-emission zones without additional daily charges.
- Supports cleaner air while helping reduce overall operating expenses.
Please note: Charges and exemptions vary depending on the city and the type of vehicle. Always check the local Clean Air Zone rules before travelling.
