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.

Types of Electric/Hybrid Vehicles Explained

Everything you wanted to know about hybrid and fully electric cars explained.

Plug In Hybrid A plug-in hybrid requires you to charge the battery via a suitable outlet. This then enables the battery to power the motor and drive the vehicle for a limited distance, switching from fuel power in a manner that is imperceptible.

Self Charging Hybrid Self-charging hybrids make use of technology known as regenerative braking, converting energy normally lost into a charge for the battery. This can then help power the petrol or diesel engine for greater efficiency.

All Electric Powered solely by the battery, all electric models emit zero CO2 and deliver instant torque. With ranges in excess of 200 miles frequently available, and many thousands of public charging stations around the UK, it’s easy to go electric.

Croxdale Service Station Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Croxdale Service Station Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
