Thinking of switching to an electric vehicle?


With greater choice and availability of electric models, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK is growing at a rapid rate. In fact, EVs now account for over 50% of UK car sales. If you’re considering making the switch to an EV or you are a fleet manager considering phasing out your company’s petrol and diesel vehicles, then here are five compelling reasons to do so.

5 reasons to switch to EV

  • Lifetime emissions of an EV are up to 70% less than petrol and diesel vehicles

 

  • Pure EVs that produce no tailpipe emissions are exempt from road tax

 

  • The average annual running cost of an EV, including refuelling/charging, insurance, Mot and servicing can be up to 49% lower than petrol or diesel vehicles

 

  • EV drivers can take advantage of no congestion charges in London and eligibility to drive through low emission zones for free

 

  • The sale of petrol and diesel vehicles will be banned in the UK in 2035
