Do you do 40 a day?
No, not smoking - but, miles. Over 60% of UK car journeys are local, urban trips, accounting for less than 40 miles a day. If you're driving about 40 miles a day, you're spending nearly £200 a month on fuel. The equivalent electricity cost would be only £10-£15 a month.
So if you're commute to work, School run, shopping and trips are the kid's 'free' taxi, then you start saving a lot of money by going electric.
Running Costs?
Apart from the fuel, your electric car is EXEMPT from Car Tax and Congestion charges!
Performance?
Electric cars are fun to drive, with instant performance from a standing start.
Price?
Prices are falling every year, many electric cars like the new Nissan LEAF are comparable with their Petrol equivalents such as the VW Golf.
How far?
This depends on many factors. You're driving style, the age of your batter and weather conditions - cold conditions can affect your range, but cars like the Tesla Roadster boast an impressive 245 mile range on one charge.
Charging?
Easy - plug it in to a regular domestic socket at home, or use one the increasing number of charging stations - many are being built in car parks, where you not only charge up whilst you shop/work, but many councils offer FREE parking for electric cars.
So what are you waiting for? contact your local dealer and see for yourself - you could be in for a very nice Shock!
