For Electric Cars, The Future Is Here…
2035: the year every new car sold in Britain will be powered by a battery and an electric motor. But why wait until then?
More than 40% of all UK car models already come with an ability to charge from the mains. That’s a huge, and fast growing, list of Electric options, with many now landing on the Used Market at much lower costs.
With instant torque and thrilling acceleration, Electric Cars (or EVs) are great fun to drive, out-performing most petrol and diesel vehicles when threading through B Roads and navigating city streets. They’re also much cheaper to run, with some EV-specific electricity tariffs delivering costs as low as 1p a mile. That’s Leeds to London for £1.98.
Second generation EVs are now flooding the used market with ranges above 200 miles to a charge and, with hundreds of thousands of rapid chargers now powered up across the UK, there’s never been a better time to go Electric.
Which EV will You choose?
There’s never been a better time to buy a new or used car. There are hundreds of thousands of brilliant new and pre-loved cars out there just waiting for a new driver to put them on the road.
You could be that driver. Buying the car you need at a price you can afford means getting the Very Best Deal on your Car Finance.
