Reasons to Buy an Electric Vehicle (EV) in 2024
The future of driving is electric, and as EV technology continues to improve, there’s never been a better time to make the switch. At the Hawkins Motor Group, we’ve seen more and more of our customers in Cornwall switching to EVs, and for good reason!
Lower Running Costs
One of the biggest advantages of electric vehicles is the savings on running costs. Charging your EV at home or using public charging stations is much cheaper than filling up a petrol or diesel car. On average, it costs between £3-£10 to charge an EV at home!
EVs also have fewer moving parts, meaning less maintenance and fewer repairs. Say goodbye to oil changes and costly engine repairs—your wallet will thank you in the long run!
Environmentally Friendly
EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, which means no harmful gases like carbon dioxide are released when you drive. This contributes to cleaner air, helping reduce pollution in your local area.
Additionally, as the UK shifts towards renewable energy sources, powering your EV with green electricity becomes an even more sustainable option. By driving electric, you’re making a positive impact on the environment every day.
Convenient Charging
Charging an EV is easier than many people think. With a home charger, you can wake up every day to a fully charged car. Plus, Cornwall’s public charging infrastructure is growing, with rapid chargers available at convenient locations.
Most modern EVs offer a range of 200+ miles, which is more than enough for daily driving or a weekend getaway. And with mobile apps, finding and paying for charging stations is as easy as tapping your phone.
Improved Driving Experience
Driving an electric vehicle is a smooth and enjoyable experience. EVs provide instant torque, meaning faster acceleration and a more responsive ride. They’re also much quieter than traditional cars, making for a more peaceful journey.
The lack of engine noise and fewer moving parts also mean less vibration, providing a more comfortable and relaxing drive—whether you’re commuting or exploring Cornwall.
Final Thoughts
Switching to an EV in 2024 offers numerous benefits, from saving money to reducing your environmental impact. With lower running costs, less environmental impact and a smooth driving experience, now is the perfect time to go electric.
