New Electric Vans

Why Switch To Electric Vans?

Many people are making the switch to electric vehicles; find out how they can benefit your business and why buying an electric van makes a good investment.

It is a well-known fact that businesses are taking more and more interest in the environment and their effect on it. Due to their large carbon footprint, van drivers in the automotive, construction, and manufacturing sectors are particularly aware of the damaging effect they are having, and are attempting to reduce this as much as possible. This can most readily be seen in the growing importance of environmentally-friendly electric vehicles in the UK van sector replacing older diesel vans.

What Is An Electric van?

Electric vans use an electric motor for power, with battery packs to power the electric motor. They are recharged by plugging into a charging station or wall outlet.

Switching to electric vans offer many benefits, and we are proud to stock a wide range of vehicles from leading manufacturers including Nissan, Renault, and Ford. If you’ve been thinking about adding some new vehicles to your fleet, contact us today to discuss your options.

Here Are 5 Reasons Why Electric Vans Should Be Considered

Lower Running Costs

Electric vans are cheaper to run compared to their diesel alternatives. You’ll save money on the running costs over time with the cost per mile of electricity being impressively low. In fact, some electric vans cost as little as 2 to 3p per mile to run.

There are also plug-in van grants available at the moment which lowers the initial investment. Remove congestion charges as EV’s are exempt, plus ULEZ charges and CAZ charges, and they become a good, cost-effective investment.

Environmentally Friendly

Electric vans produce zero tailpipe emissions. This has a good effect on air quality, cutting down on harmful gases like CO2 and nitric oxide. In dense urban areas, air quality improves.

Cheaper To Maintain

Electric vehicles require less maintenance. They use fewer moving parts, so are less likely to need costly repairs. They put less strain on the breaks so require less regular maintenance.

Easy To Drive

Time is money and you want a fleet of vehicles that’s fast, efficient, and easy to drive. Electric vehicles are much simpler to drive. In comparison to diesel or petrol cars, there’s no need to change gears.

They’re also much more pleasant to drive. Electric motors are almost silent for a calm, smooth driving experience.

Future-Proofing

Image is important. Electric vehicles are the future. Climate change is becoming an ever more pressing issue. The UK government has set a target to end the sale of all diesel and petrol cars by 2040, roughly.

Buy electric vehicles now to reduce your business emissions and show that you’re one step ahead.
