Thinking about going green with your next car? Great news — choosing an eco-friendly vehicle doesn’t just help the environment, it can also save you money in the long run.
Here’s how:
1. Lower Running Costs
Hybrid and electric cars are much cheaper to run than traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. Electricity is generally cheaper per mile, and hybrids use less fuel overall — great for your wallet and the planet.
2. Reduced Road Tax
Many eco-friendly cars benefit from reduced or even zero road tax thanks to their low emissions. That’s a saving every year just for driving greener.
3. Grants and Incentives
There are still government grants available for certain low-emission vehicles and home EV chargers. It’s worth checking what’s available before you buy.
4. Free or Discounted Congestion Charges
Driving a low-emission car may also mean discounts or exemptions in clean air zones or congestion charging areas — especially useful if you regularly drive into cities.
5. Less Maintenance
Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than conventional engines, which means lower maintenance and servicing costs over time.
At Brand New Cars, we stock a growing selection of affordable hybrid and electric models to suit every lifestyle. Whether you’re commuting, doing the school run, or heading off on weekend adventures — we can help you find the right car and save money while you drive greener.
