3 reasons you should buy an electric car

The popularity of electric cars is steadily on the increase this year, and many people are switching from more traditional forms of transport. Are you one of the many looking to make the change? Green Motion has compiled our top 5 reasons for choosing low emission cars.

The environment

Environmental impact plays a big role when people make their decision, with global warming warnings and deforestation - anything humans can do to lower their waste output is effective for all of us. Electric cars reduce carbon emissions, as no burning fuel is needed; as a result no harmful gas is released back into the environment.

Rising fuel prices

Over the past 10 years the cost of fuel has steadily been growing in price, and more families are finding it difficult to run a vehicle. A study has shown that in 2012 the average American family spent nearly $3000 per year on gas alone. The initial purchase of an electric vehicle may be higher than a normal car; however it’s well worth the initial cost in the long run.

Schemes and rebates

With so many different countries now offering cash back, tax free vehicles and incentives there really hasn’t been a better time to invest. Search what deals are on in your area, and what the council is offering to help you make the change.
