Benefits of Buy Electric 

Making the switch from petrol or diesel power to electric may seem like a big change, but it is one that needs to be made by all motorists. With governments around the globe pledging to reduce CO2 emissions, and the UK government planning to cease the sale of fuel-powered models by 2035, changing over to electric power is vital. It’s also more affordable than you might think. With grants available to help purchasing, cost-effective running costs as standard, and fewer mechanical issues to warrant expensive repairs, there’s plenty of benefits to making the change. ​

  • Improved running costs
  • Lower CO2 emissions
  • Government grants to aid purchasing
  • Fewer mechanical issues
  • Zero road tax
