What are the benefits of electric vehicles?

While the initial upfront purchase price of an electric vehicle can be higher, this is usually offset by lower running costs.

Electric vehicles offer savings including:

• There are fewer mechanical components in an electric vehicle compared with conventional vehicles, which often results in lower servicing and maintenance costs.
• 100% electric vehicles have a zero rate of road tax (vehicle excise duty)
• Zero emission vehicles attract lower charges from clean air zones being implemented around the UK and London’s ultra low emission zone (ULEZ).
• Free parking for electric vehicles is available in some towns and cities!
