Why Now Is the Best Time to Switch To An Electric Vehicle
Britain is facing a national fuel crisis as the switch to electric vehicles picks up speed due to rising fuel prices. Fuel shortages across the nation have caused fuel prices to reach an all-time high, so filling up your cars tank of fuel is only becoming more expensive. In response to this, many drivers are acting quickly and making the switch to electric vehicles. As a result of this, the number of electric vehicles is expected to climb year after year until they finally outnumber their diesel and petrol counterparts. Given the expected increase in demand for these vehicles, now might be the best time to consider making the switch to an electric vehicle.
When it comes to electric vehicles, there is more variety than ever before, and this number continuing to grow. From hybrids to fully electric vehicles, you can be sure to find something available on the market that best suits you. These vehicles are exceptionally fuel efficient, as they use electricity to run. This means you’ll save a fortune by avoiding regular trips to the petrol station! Charging an electric vehicle is also significantly less expensive than filling up at the petrol station, which leads in significant fuel savings and lower total costs over the life of the vehicle.
Despite their remarkable cost efficiency, electric vehicles are also associated with additional advantages, the most well-known of which is that they are safer for the environment because they emit fewer gas emissions. Electric vehicles include low maintenance costs and high levels of dependability. The UK government is even providing incentives to make the purchase of an electric vehicle more enticing and affordable, including zero or cheaper road tax. They are even offering grants, these vary and change over time but currently, electric vehicles under £35,000 now qualify for a £2,500 grant. As a result of a government grant, you may be able to get a charger installed for a low fee or even free! The good news is, electric vehicles are becoming more affordable each year and they also have higher resale values than traditional cars. The list of advantages continues when it comes to electric vehicles.
Some individuals hesitate to purchase an electric vehicle because they believe they will be problematic to charge. However, the process is simpler than they anticipate and continues to become so because of a large network of charging stations that is rapidly growing throughout the nation. Across the UK, there is over 42,000 charge point connections spread over 15,500 locations, which means there are currently more public charging stations than gas stations! You can also have a charger installed in the convenience of your own home. Home charging is also becoming more and more efficient and you can ensure that your car is fully charged. As well as this, workplaces are increasingly providing charging stations for employees to use while at work.
Across the UK there is a deadline for the sale of new diesel and petrol vehicles. This has been put in place for the year 2030, so making the decision to purchase an electric vehicle is more important than ever. Stay ahead of what’s to come, and consider making the switch now. With such a wide range of models and price points across the market, you can be sure to find an electric vehicle that suits you.
