If you’re thinking of replacing your car, going electric has many benefits:
Electricity is cheaper than petrol
About 7 times cheaper than petrol in fact. EECA calculates charging up your car costs the equivalent of 30c per litre. You can also charge up for free.
Less maintenance
Battery powered electric cars have fewer moving parts compared to thousands of moving parts in petrol cars.
Cleaner air
Battery powered electric cars produce no exhaust emissions that cause local air pollution. Over its lifetime, a battery powered electric car emits 60% fewer climate change emissions than petrol cars.
More fun to drive
Electric cars have no clutch or gears. They accelerate faster and smoother, in a “sporty” way - and climb hills easier than petrol cars.
