Fully electric vehicles are powered entirely by an electric motor and battery, offering a clean, quiet and efficient way to drive. With zero driving emissions and lower running costs, they provide a complete alternative to traditional petrol or diesel engines.
Energy is recovered through regenerative braking and the vehicle is charged via a plug-in connection, either at home or using public charging points. With improving battery technology and a rapidly expanding charging network across the UK, electric driving is becoming more practical than ever for everyday use and longer journeys alike.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles combine a traditional combustion engine with an electric motor, offering flexibility for a wide range of driving needs.
They allow you to complete shorter journeys using electric power alone, reducing fuel use and emissions, while still providing the reassurance of a petrol engine for longer trips. The system can switch seamlessly between power sources or use both together, delivering a balance of efficiency, performance and convenience.
WHY CHANGE TO ALTERNATIVE ENERGY?
Whether your choice is the Fully Electric or a Hybrid, the switch from a traditional fossil fuelled car releases far fewer emissions into the atmosphere. They can be refuelled or recharged by a multiple of options from charging at home to one of the 7,000 charging points nationwide. Plug-In Hybrids have the added convenience benefit, particularly on longer journeys of using tradition fuel in the combustion engine to top up a journey where needed.
Whether it be an electric or hybrid motors, fuels stops are less frequent, and your running costs can be kept to a minimum. When it comes to maintenance costs, electric becomes an even more attractive option – brakes systems tend to last longer, and electric vehicles have fewer fluids to change and far fewer moving parts.
Its fact, unlike traditional powered vehicles, electric and hybrid deliver higher levels of torque instantaneously. They accelerate at a faster rate and faster and a more exhilarating drive! In addition to the power benefits, they have increased performance handling including the ability to power and brake each wheel individually to improve traction and cornering ability.
Electric and Hybrid vehicles are the vehicles of the future. The new technologies are becoming standard features of both electric and hybrid vehicles often before those of fossil fuelled powered vehicles which provides better integration and connectivity to the wider world!
