Is electric right for me?
Should I buy an electric car?
Electric cars have come a long way in a short time and offer many benefits. Explore the basics of electric cars and why it could be the right choice for you.
Benefits of an electric car.
There are many reasons to go electric: from access to the UK charging network, to driving experience, to reduced tailpipe emissions - the list is endless!
-
Acceleration.
Electric cars provide a remarkable level of performance and agility. Enjoy thrilling electric acceleration thanks to the power of instant torque that electric cars provide. With swift acceleration from a standstill, they also maintain a seamless as well as consistent speed thanks to smart cruise control. -
Simplicity.
Electric cars are typically equipped with a single-speed reduction gear, so there’s no more gear shifting. As a result, the ride is smooth and the response is almost instantaneous.
-
Spacious.
Electric cars don’t have a transmission like petrol or diesel cars. Not having a big centre tunnel or gear shifter inside the car lets us create a flat floor and more room for passengers and storage. There is even storage space under the bonnet due to the engine removal. -
Nice and quiet.
Due to their low-noise electric motors, electric cars produce minimal sound at lower speeds in contrast to their internal combustion counterparts.
-
Zero tailpipe emissions.
With a large-capacity lithium-ion polymer battery, you have the freedom you need to travel far and wide in your electric car whilst emitting zero tailpipe emissions. -
Petrol/Diesel ban.
The UK Government plans to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars in 2035, both of which emit tailpipe emissions. Getting an EV today has never been easier and will give you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of electric car ownership.
-
Operating costs.
There may be financial benefits in making the switch to electric. While the purchase of an electric car can be more expensive, the operating costs can be lower in some instances. Unlike petrol or diesel cars, electric cars have fewer moving parts which helps reduce maintenance costs. -
Less maintenance.
An electric powertrain requires a high-voltage battery and a motor, there are only a few parts required. Electric car batteries require no oil and don't produce tailpipe emissions transmissions which means they need less maintenance overall.
-
Charging infrastructure.
The network of electric charges in the UK and Europe is ever-growing. With Charge MyHyundai you gain access to over 48,5001 public charging stations in the UK, making charging easier than ever!
