Benefits of electric cars explored

Better for our planet
One of the biggest advantages of driving EVs is the impact on our environment.
Pure EVs have no tailpipe, so they don’t emit any exhaust gases, which reduces local air pollution particularly in congested cities.

Lower running costs
On average, an electric car costs less than £1.30 to drive 100 miles (based on our GoElectric 35 tariff during off-peak hours) vs. £17.16(1) for a petrol car.
There's also cheaper service and maintenance plus low or no vehicle tax.

Renewable EV tariffs
Power your electric car and home with our GoElectric Overnight tariff.

Better driving
EVs have more responsive acceleration and regenerative braking when easing off the accelerator.
They tend to have a low centre of gravity, which improves handling, comfort and safety.

Better resale value
Second-hand electric cars could be a great affordable option if you're looking to make the switch from petrol.
It's worth remembering too the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles will be banned from 2030.

Lease a brand new electric car
Drive a brand new zero-emissions EV with an affordable monthly rental. You'll also have no vehicle tax, low maintenance costs, and a choice of free parking in many convenient locations.
