Making the switch to an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle

Making the switch from a petrol or diesel car to an EV or hybrid vehicle has never been easier.

With the growing infrastructure, financial benefits, and the superior driving experience offered by hybrids and EVs, many UK drivers are finding it an appealing option to consider when they come to replace their existing vehicles.

Expanding Charging Network

One of the major concerns for potential EV or plug-in hybrid owners, especially those without off-street parking, has been the availability of charging stations. However, the UK’s charging infrastructure has seen significant improvements over recent years. There are now over 65,000 public charging connectors across more than 34,000 locations, including rapid chargers that can top up an EV’s battery in a matter of minutes. These chargers are conveniently located at service stations, supermarkets, car parks, and even on residential streets, making it easy for drivers to find a place to charge their vehicle.

Cost Savings

One of the biggest reasons to switch to a hybrid or EV – aside from the environmental benefits, is the potential for significant cost savings.

A hybrid offers the best of both worlds for those not ready to make the switch to an EV. Making local journeys in electric mode, means cheaper motoring, supported by a petrol engine for longer or more challenging journeys.

Driving electric is considerably cheaper than refuelling a petrol or diesel car, and so the more miles you can do on electric, the bigger the savings. On average, the cost per mile for electricity is around 4-6p, compared to 12-15p when using the petrol engine. This difference can result in substantial savings over time, especially for those who do a lot of short journeys which could be done in electric mode.

Additionally, as all Tusker vehicles come as part of a fully comprehensive package, a single monthly amount will cover the vehicle, insurance, road fund licence, servicing and MOTs, and even tyres and breakdown recovery. This means that budgeting becomes easy, as there will never be an unexpected motoring expense.

Driving Experience

Beyond the financial and logistical advantages, electric and hybrid vehicles are widely considered to offer a superior driving experience, renowned for their smooth and quiet operation. The lack of engine noise gives a serene driving environment, and the instant torque delivered by electric motors results in rapid acceleration, making for a drive that is both responsive and relaxing.

The latest models come equipped with the latest in-car technologies, including infotainment systems, driver-assistance features, and connectivity options, enhancing both safety and convenience when behind the wheel.
 

It’s easy to go ULEV or EV

In summary, transitioning from a petrol or diesel car to an electric or hybrid vehicle in the UK has never been easier. With an expanding charging network, significant cost savings, and an exceptional driving experience, these cars represent a practical and attractive option for all drivers. As the UK continues to invest in electric vehicle infrastructure and technology, the shift towards cleaner, more sustainable transportation is set to accelerate even further, which will benefit both drivers and the environment.
