The Government’s Promise On Electric Vehicles

As the UK enters the year 2040, it will see the final nail banged in to diesel’s already measured coffin. Electric vehicles & PHEV’s will be the new dominant force on the roads. By 2040, all new cars sold in the UK will have to have zero emissions capability. The Government ban will extend to mild hybrid cars which are not able to run solely on electric power, as they do not have zero emissions capability.

So for the fleet manager and private individual, electric vehicles are now proving a more attractive option than ever before.

Many people are reluctant to swap the pump for the plug, but there are many reasons in 2018 to embrace the electric future. Here are a few points to consider.

Financial Support

There are incentives available to purchase electric vehicles and grants for home and workplace chargers.

Choice 

With over 45 plug-in models on the market, there are a wide range of options available.

Whole Life Costs 

Look beyond the monthly rental cost and see the benefits and significant savings available with a plug-in hybrid.

Company Car Tax
