With the fuel price hike across the UK and Northern Ireland that have sparked chaos at the fuel pumps recently, it’s a likely scenario that those seeking a new vehicle might opt to go electric sooner than originally planned.
Save the cues at the fuel stations and the fluctuating prices by switching to electric and ensuring yourself a more stable energy source.
The Benefits of Electric Cars
Whether you are hoping to have a positive impact on the environment or simply just trying to see a positive balance in your bank with the savings on fuel, there are a multitude of benefits that come from going green.
No Emissions and Reduction in Noise
Operating on an electric battery means that you will not be contributing any emissions on your journeys and will do so in silence as EV’s seamlessly glide to your destination. The reduction in noise is just pleasant and sitting at the traffic lights if everyone went electric would just be a healthier alternative for us and the planet.
Cheaper Running and Maintenance
With less than half the fuel costs to run your vehicle and no cueing at fuel pumps, you save time and money. As well as this, the costs to repair EV’s is substantially lower, so while you may be met with upfront costs in buying the vehicle, the savings over your time with the car are black and white to see – simply amazing.
There has been a dramatic increase in the search for electric vehicles, across electric cars and van’s mainly. The rise is very apparent, with EV sales increasing by a staggering 76% last year. With over 1.2 million electric and hybrid vehicles on the road UK wide, there is a trend that is only set to explode over the next few years.
Fuel Price Hike:Go Green
Asides from the very apparent environmental impact that switching electric has, there is also the money saving and the time factor to consider. There are government grants to switch to electric vehicles, hitting the £1500 mark, so if you are on the fence, maybe that is the push you needed.
