Electric Vehicles

Not only are they cheaper to run than traditional cars, they are also very reliable and require very little maintenance. Pure Electric vehicles pay zero road tax. Nothing. Nada. It’s based on emissions, and they don’t have an exhaust, so it had to be zero, right?​

EVs are quiet and refined on the road, with smooth and instant power delivery. To put it into context, a Nissan LEAF has similar torque t o a 3.5 litre V6. But its fuel costs the equivalent of a petrol car which achieves 300mpg.

EVs have considerably less vibration, as the motors only have one moving part, compared to the hundreds of moving components in ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles, so this in turn causes less driver fatigue, and means you get to your destination feeling fresh.

The UK’s public charging networks have grown massively over recent years, from 30 Rapid chargers in 2011, to over 3,200 rapid chargers in 2020.

Overall, there are now over 11,600 charger locations in the UK, and this number is increasing by around 400 chargers per month.

What could be easier than a fuel-station on your driveway? No more queuing to fill up in the rain – by charging at home whilst parked, the process of refuelling takes seconds (just plug in and walk away!).

By charging overnight, your car will always be ready for the next day with a full battery. 95% of EV owners charge at home 98% of the time. It’s only for those extra-long journeys from time-to-time that you’d need to stop to charge en-route.

We’ve all heard about air quality difficulties in our cities, with car emissions a key factor.
Full electric vehicles have no exhaust emissions and are charged by a cleaner national grid, thus “wheel-to-well” emissions are decreasing. Solar panels can be used to charge your automobile for free and with no pollution.
Plug-in Hybrid cars can drive up to 30 miles on electricity, making them excellent for urban commutes. The engine only needs to be run for longer trips, such as on the motorway.

Hybrid cars use electric motors to lessen engine load, making the engine more efficient and helping the car move from a stop. It also uses an improved type of stop-start, turning off the engine when the car is stopped or slowing down. It can use regenerative braking to regain speed. It decreases local pollution and saves fuel.
