    Electric Cars

    Are you ready to pull the plug on fossil fuel cars and make the switch to electric? CUPRA, Citroen, Ford, Hyundai, MG, Mazda, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, and Vauxhall, are all now switching their focus to electric vehicles, meaning there's more choice than ever before.

    With more choice, low to zero road tax, zero emissions, and cheaper running costs than standard petrol or diesel cars, the benefits of electric cars are endless. Plus, you could be eligible for funding to cover up to 75% of the cost of installing a home chargepoint, if you own and live in a flat or rent any residential property.

    The power to go further

    Whether you are going on the school run, or an adventure with the family, many electric cars now offer you the power to go further. Some premium electric cars can now offer a whopping 400-mile range of fully-electric driving.

    Power up and go

    With over 30,000 charging points now accessible in the UK, it's estimated that there will be over 300,000 by 2035 when the Government's ban on petrol and diesel cars comes into action. There's also set to be over 6,000 rapid charging points, which can deliver up to 80% charge in just 30 minutes so you can power up and go quickly.
