Thinking about switching to Electric?
The UK Government has confirmed that from 2030, you won’t be able to buy a brand new vehicle that only runs on petrol or diesel. Vehicles will need to be electric or hybrid (a mix of diesel/petrol and electric). From 2035, all new vehicles, must be fully electric or zero-emissions only.
As we move closer to these dates, the choice of electric and hybrid vehicles is growing fast, not just new ones but used ones too. So, if you’re thinking about changing your vehicle, now is a good time to consider going electric.
Is an electric vehicle right for you?
Making the switch is a big decision, but it can be a smart one. Take your time, ask questions, and think about what matters most to you.
