Save Money And Reduce Emissions With An Electric Vehicle
Buying an electric vehicle can save you a considerable amount of money on the running costs compared with petrol or diesel. Electric vehicle charging costs less per mile to run and there are other benefits too.
For instance, as an electric vehicle has no internal combustion engine it doesn’t need spark plugs, timing belts, and oil changes, and an electric motor doesn’t need routine maintenance.

One very big benefit of an electric vehicle is that you can plug it in when you get home in the evening, and when you wake up in the morning you can have a “full tank” ready to go. Of course, there are not yet enough charging stations nationally, but in Scotland, ChargePlace Scotland has over 1,000 public charging points and says that the average distance between any Scottish location and the nearest public charging point is just 2.78 miles. That compares with 3.77 miles in England (https://www.transport.gov.scot/news/over-1000-electric-vehicle-charge-points-in-scotland/).

Easy EV Charging For Everyone If The Tories Return To Power
If you have concerns about the environment, as many people do, one way that you can help is by making your next car an electric vehicle instead of buying petrol or diesel. There are, of course, commercial charging stations, but not enough yet. However, all that is about to change if we get a Conservative government, because Boris Johnson said on his campaign trail only a couple of days ago that he intends to double spending on charging stations to £18 billion over the next five years and that nobody would be more than 30 miles from a charging station.
Tumblr media
Of course, if you have off-street parking you can install a home EV charger which is ideal because you can charge your car overnight. Furthermore, you can also get an OLEV grant towards the cost of a home charger of up to £500, and if you live in Scotland you can get a further grant of £300 from the Energy Saving Trust, so between the two the major part of the cost is covered for you.

Drive Your Car For Free!
Tumblr media
We have to face the fact that the day of the internal combustion engine will very shortly be over. It has worked wonders for the world for over 100 years but is now having a devastating effect on the climate of the planet and is shortly to be replaced by electric power.
There are actually many benefits to using electric power in a car, not the least of which is that there is no requirement for oil changes, servicing, and all the other things that come with owning a car and which we have all become used to. So there is an immediate cost saving there.

Some Ideas For Charging Electric Vehicles
Tumblr media
There is absolutely no doubt that Britain is heading in the direction of electric vehicles as the government is very keen to see to it that we reduce our carbon footprint. Indeed, there are government grants for a range of electric vehicles and also grants for electric car charging points installation either at home or in the workplace.
However, there are certain problems associated with charging an electric vehicle. If you live in a home with a driveway there is no problem because you can have a charging point installed on the wall or in your garage. Just plug it in and leave it overnight. However, what happens if you live in a flat or a terraced home? You can hardly trail an electric charging cable across the pavement.
