Benefits of Buy Electric

With the UK government looking to cease the sale of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035, it’s more pressing than ever for motorists to start switching to all-electric motoring. But it’s not purely for the benefit of meeting government targets. With lower CO2 emissions, improved running costs, and fewer mechanical issues, there’s also plenty of reasons to change to electric motoring. You can also still take advantage of government grants to help make purchasing more affordable.

Types of Electric/Hybrid Vehicles Explained

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

All Electric Running solely on battery power, all-electric vehicles are the most efficient and eco-conscious available, with zero CO2 emissions when in use. They can also provide instant torque and impressive range on a single charge.

Self Charging Hybrid Hybrid models complement the performance of petrol or diesel powered engines, adding extra power and improving efficiency. For the most part, they are self charging through a technology known as regenerative braking.

Plug In Hybrid Plug-in hybrid vehicles require you to charge the battery at a suitable outlet, with the charge later used to power the vehicle in all-electric mode. These models switch seamlessly between electric and fuel power automatically.

Financial Disclosure

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.
