Choosing an electric vehicle means considering a number of angles – not just the size of your budget. The location of your nearest charge point is a factor in your decision, since EVs need to be plugged in for the battery to charge. Let’s take a look in more detail.
Another consideration when choosing an electric vehicle is how far you drive on a daily basis. If you tend to cover short distances in urban areas, an electric vehicle is perfect. Most EVs nowadays have at least a 150-mile range, so you’re also covered for less frequent medium to long distance trips.
If, however, you cover a lot of miles – for example, for work – then a PHEV may suit you better. These tend to offer exceptional range, as well as delivering zero-emissions driving in towns and cities.
Owning an electric vehicle is much like owning a petrol or diesel model. Each manufacturer has guidelines on how often your car should be serviced, and many vehicles have an app that enables you to check on the status of various components remotely. This makes ownership simpler and more convenient than ever.
Are Electric Cars Worth It?
Electric vehicles (EVs) present long-term benefits, including savings on fuel and maintenance, despite higher initial costs. Some factors to consider when thinking about purchasing an electric vehicle include:
Cost to purchase - Though EVs often cost more upfront, savings from fuel, maintenance, and government incentives like the Plug-in Car Grant make them financially attractive. Glyn Hopkin's competitively priced models enhance these benefits.
Running costs - EVs generally incur lower running costs due to cheaper home charging and potentially lower insurance premiums. Glyn Hopkin’s electric vehicles further optimize these savings.
Charging - Home charging stations provide convenience and cost efficiency by allowing overnight charging, which Glyn Hopkin can assist with for optimal solutions.
Maintenance and service - Electric cars demand less maintenance due to fewer moving parts and no oil changes, primarily focusing on batteries and brakes, leading to lower costs and environmental benefits.
Range and performance - Modern EVs typically offer a range of 200 to 300 miles per charge, suitable for diverse driving needs. Glyn Hopkin's advanced battery technology ensures optimal performance and reliability.
