For businesses and individuals considering the switch to electric vehicles (EV), range anxiety remains one of the key concerns. However, with rapid advancements in EV technology, today’s electric cars offer increasingly impressive ranges that can easily accommodate long-distance travel on a single charge, rivalling or even surpassing their petrol or diesel counterparts, while delivering substantial cost savings and a smoother, quieter ride.
Here’s a look at why long-range electric cars are a smart choice and some of the latest options available on the UK market today.
Why Choose a Long-Range Electric Car?/ Benefits of Long-Range Electric Cars
The benefits of opting for an electric car with extended range capabilities are numerous. Long-range EVs are particularly well-suited for company car fleets and business travellers. Here’s why:
- Reduced Operating Costs: While the initial purchase price may be higher, long-range EVs can deliver significant savings on fuel costs – typically 50-70% less than petrol or diesel vehicles. With electricity prices typically more stable than fuel, you can enjoy predictable and budget-friendly travel.
- Lower Maintenance: Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than conventional cars, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and servicing requirements.
- Tax Benefits: With zero emissions, electric cars often qualify for attractive tax benefits, including lower Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) and potential exemptions from congestion charges, making them particularly appealing as company cars.
- Environmentally Friendly: Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them a responsible choice for the environment. By choosing a long-range EV, you’re actively contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
- Enhanced Residual Values: Long-range EVs typically retain their value better than shorter-range models, making them an attractive option for fleet managers and company car drivers.
- Comfort and Convenience: Modern electric cars offer exceptional comfort and a smooth driving experience. With the added benefit of long range, you can enjoy uninterrupted journeys with minimal need for charging stops.
- Future-Proof Investment: As the UK moves toward its 2035 petrol/diesel ban, long-range EVs represent a sustainable long-term transport solution.
