The Benefits of Buying Electric

The primary benefit to buying electric is, of course, that it helps to cut both air and noise pollution, which will in turn aid the deceleration of climate change. But that’s not the only advantage for motorists – running and maintenance costs are reduced due to lower energy tariffs and fewer moving parts under the bonnet. And lower emissions means lower road tax, while those travelling in LEZ and ULEZ areas won’t incur a penalty.


Electrified vehicles are fun to drive too, thanks to instant torque which makes acceleration quick, and an automatic-style drive.

Key benefits include:

  • Cleaner motoring
  • Lower running and maintenance costs
  • Lower road tax
  • Government incentives
  • Punchy acceleration
  • Simple to drive

     Full-hybrid Full hybrid or self-charging hybrid cars have a battery to aid acceleration and fuel economy. Their electric-only range is very limited – a few miles – but the battery is charged by the engine, meaning there’s no need to plug in.
    Mild Hybrid (MHEV) Mild hybrid vehicles are equipped with a small battery that boosts engine power during acceleration, and helps to improve fuel efficiency. They can’t travel on electric power alone, and don’t need to be plugged in to charge.
    Plug-in hybrid Plug-in hybrid cars, as the name suggests, must be connected to a power source to charge. They are equipped with a larger battery pack, which enables the car to travel around 20-30 miles on electric power alone.
    All-Electric All-electric vehicles (EVs) are powered solely by a battery pack and electric motor, and must be plugged into a power source to charge. Most of today’s EVs have a range of at least 100 miles.
