Why Choose Electric?

Let’s start with an overview:

Clean air zones: A number of cities across the UK have introduced zones in which vehicles that don’t meet minimum emissions requirements must pay a daily charge, such as the Ultra Low Emissions Zone in London. EVs are exempt from these charges and depending on the city, some private petrol and diesel cars have to pay this cost.
Smooth and quiet driving experience: Ensuring a more relaxing drive with less disruption to the environment.
Zero emissions: When driving, there really is no comparison with a petrol or diesel car as an electric has zero.
Affordable to run: Whilst the initial expense can sometimes be higher, the overall cost is lower.
Lower company BIK tax: A cheaper solution for your employees.
Cheaper per mile: The cost per kWh is cheaper per mile than if you were to run a petrol or diesel equivalent.
Increased charging point availability: The expansion of the charging network makes it easier and more convenient to make longer journeys than previously.
Impressive mile range between charges: Allowing you to travel longer without experiencing 'range anxiety'.

Electric vs. Petrol: Which is cheaper?

According to a recent survey by the Dutch automotive lease provider, Leaseplan, they found that owning a fully electric vehicle in many European countries is less expensive than petrol or diesel models.

To do this they looked at the total cost of owning and operating a car (TCO) over the first four years of ownership assuming an annual mileage of 30,000 kilometers (or approximately 18,641 miles), including:

Energy and fuel costs
Vehicle depreciation
Car and road tax
Interest
Car insurance
Vehicle maintenance

The key findings were:

Electric vehicles in nearly every segment (compact, small, SUV etc) and nearly every European country are now the same price or cheaper than petrol or diesel equivalents
Despite energy prices going up with recent events, fuel costs remain significantly lower for electric cars than petrol or diesel vehicles
Fuel costs represent 15% of the total cost of ownership for an EV, whilst this is 23% for a petrol car and 28% for diesel cars
There are more EV models on the market than ever before
