Whether you agree to the idea of owning or driving an electric car or not, the future is changing rapidly, and individuals are opening up to the idea. The government aim to halt production of petrol cars by 2040, so if you’ve not experienced an electric car yet, now’s the time! According to nextgreencar, there are currently more than 206,000 plug in cars and 8,500 electric vans as of March 2019, seeing a huge surge in comparison to 2013 when there were only 3,500 electric cars on the roads.
Along with the increase of electric cars comes a rise in the number of charge points that are available. Zapmap, one of the biggest apps for displaying and locating charging points around the UK for EV drivers, states that as of 12th April 2019 there are currently 21,596 connectors in 7,823 locations nationwide. It will also show when connectors go down for repair, and what type of chargers are present at each location point.
Benefits of hiring/owning an electric car
As electric cars are still a new and upcoming innovation, people may need more convincing to hire one, and in the future buy their very own EV.
- When you purchase an electric car you will not have to pay any road tax. Due to having a no emission car, you will be saving yourself a monthly figure, which will eventually add up.
- Feel like you are doing your part for the environment and drive around in your no emission car. Go green and ditch the diesel!
- Electric cars may be slightly more expensive to purchase initially in comparison to a fuel car.
- Certain streets and areas within London have now been changed to a ULEZ (Ulta Low Emission Zone), allowing only specific low emission cars enter, and charge higher polluting cars to pay a charge.
