The Benefits of Buying Electric

With more electrified vehicles available than ever, it’s clear that there’s a widespread desire among motorists for cars that offer a more sustainable driving experience.

Key benefits include...

● Lower running costs – Pure-electric vehicles in particular are highly efficient, simply because it’s much cheaper to top up a car with electricity than it is with petrol or diesel.

● Reduced emissions – 100% electric vehicles produce zero harmful emissions; plug-in hybrids produce significantly fewer emissions than regular cars; hybrids rely less on fossil fuels than their conventional combustion-engined counterparts.

● Exemptions from congestion charges – All pure-electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid Kia cars are exempt from Clean Air Zone charges, including the daily £12.50 ULEZ tariff.

● Road tax and maintenance savings – Electrified cars benefit from lower Vehicle Excise Duty rates, and all-electric vehicles are more affordable to maintain because an electric drivetrain features fewer working parts than a combustion engine.

Which Kia cars are 100% electric?

The Kia Soul, all-new Niro EV, EV6 and EV9 are all 100% electric, which means they’re very affordable to run and produce zero harmful emissions.

What’s the difference between a plug-in hybrid and a hybrid car?

Plug-in hybrids are very fuel-efficient (for instance, the Sportage PHEV returns up to 252mpg) and require manual charging. Hybrids aren’t quite as fuel-efficient but are nevertheless more economical to run than regular cars, and they offer self-charging convenience.
