The usual selling points of an electric car aim to appeal to the greener market out there, not this time however. Volkswagen is trying a different approach with their new e-golf model, and are appealing to business owners with company cars.
The well known car manufacture are claiming people will choose the e-golf over the other models, not just for the green aspect, but for the low fuel and operating costs - and it looks exactly like a regular golf.
To appeal the new model to business owners, VW have claimed that the e-golf will cost a measly £3 to travel a 100 miles. For some business owners, this just may be the cost cutting tip they were looking for.
The time charge and range issue is normally what puts consumers of investing in an electric car, citing convenience as a higher priority factor. VW want to break down this thinking, and encourage people that with a little forward planning it can be just as easy.
Numerous car columnists have this one pretty high up on their list, garnering a 8/10 from The Express. They also cited it as ‘surprisingly complicated’ so even though it got a high rating across the board, it still seems to have its downsides.
No matter what electric car you invest in, the more people who take up driving electric cars, the better infrastructure the UK can begin to place. It’s simple supply and demand, and by making the move first you can pave the way for a revolution for electric cars in the UK.
