So whether you choose a plug in city car or a more up market luxurious model, the chances are you’ll find an option to suit your style, and wallet.

Cheap to Run

Despite the initial hefty price tag when buying a new electric vehicle, car experts argue that buyers will save money in the car’s lifetime as refueling costs are minimal. In fact, electric cars can be up to 80% less costly than a petrol version of the same car. On average, an electric vehicle will drive between 80-90 miles per charge, making them extremely efficient. Additionally, an EV has less components and therefore requires less maintenance which means no more oil changes or expensive mechanic bills when your timing belt needs replacing.
