It was something of the future, but now it’s very much here. Switching to an electric or hybrid car is now the norm with most manufacturers developing new and innovative vehicles featuring mind-blowing technology, greater range, and super-efficient hybrid engines.
With manufacturers racing to meet the 2030 deadline of no new internal combustion engined cars, consumers are now spoilt for choice! With low or zero road tax, zero emissions, and most important of all, cheaper running costs than your standard Petrol or Diesel Motors, the benefits of a hybrid or electric motor are endless and make it an even easier choice to switch.
Across the UK there are now over 30,000 charging points accessible to us and this number is increasing day by day. If that wasn't enough, there are now over 6,000 rapid and ultra-rapid charging points that can deliver up to 80% charge in just 30 minutes, making long journeys possible.
If you are not fully ready yet to commit to electric, switching to a hybrid vehicle is a good way to make the transition, without going straight foot to the floor. Providing the reassurance of a traditional petrol or diesel engine, hybrids also have an electric motor that is charged using the energy created from the engine and also lost when slowing down or braking. Hybrids also offer a small electric range of up to 30miles, which is perfect for nipping around town and also helps them benefit from lower road tax compared to petrol and diesel cars.
Great! You're in luck as we have a fantastic range of new and used fully electric vehicles from a range of manufacturers. The UK government has stated that new petrol and diesel cars will be banned from 2030.
If still don't feel ready to make the switch from regular fuel to electricity, but would still like to reap some of the rewards, why not try a Hybrid Electric Vehicle? Hybrid electric vehicles use part fuel, part-electricity and can be a great option for those who would like to wait a little longer to go fully electric!
