To celebrate World EV Day 2024 and all things EV, we wanted to highlight to you 5 reasons to make the switch to electric! 

• With the sale of new petrol and diesel cars set to end in the UK in 2030, we wanted to provide you with all the information you need to help you to see what owning an electric vehicle might look like.

• 1. It Saves You Money

  Offering lower running costs than a conventional car, charging is often way cheaper than a tank of fuel!

  Electric cars are not only more efficient, but also city taxes like the ULEZ charge and the Congestion Charge don't currently apply to EVs, meaning you can drive through city centres like London, Birmingham and Manchester without fear of being hit with a fine!

  What’s more, EVs don’t require the same maintenance as fuel cars, meaning rather than spending money on oil changes and other services, you can keep your pennies! 

• 2. Help Save The Planet

  Every little helps when it comes to saving our planet! By driving an electric car you won’t be producing CO2 when you drive, which is the largest contributor to global warming. By driving a car with zero CO2 emissions, you’re directly contributing to lowering the carbon footprint in your urban ecosystem.

  Plus when your EV battery reaches the end of their life, they are recycled!

• 3. Quiet & Smooth Driving Experience

  With the absence of a noisy engine, electric cars create a more peaceful driving experience for you and also lowers noise pollution around you!

  Not only are electric cars super quiet, they also have instant torque. This means, as you press down on the accelerator, you’ll be met with immediate power. Say goodbye to delay from gear changing and hello to instant torque!

• 4. They're The Full Package!

  Most EVs are packed full of tech! From touchscreen displays to LEDS, to driver assistance technology these cars are brimming with character. Who doesn’t want to drive a car that not only looks great on the outside but looks great on the inside too!

• 5. The Choice is HUGE

  Worried you won’t be able to find an EV that suits you and your needs? Don’t stress!
