Why Switch to an Electric Vehicle?
Making the move to an electric car really does bring clear financial and lifestyle advantages to you.
As drivers across the UK are starting to upgrade to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to help them enjoy smoother journeys and lower daily bills. Will you be next, and why?
Well, here are several advantages, including:
Significant Fuel Savings
Charging an EV at home using an off-peak electricity tariff costs considerably less per mile than filling up a petrol or diesel car - and you can get a full charge for only a few pounds to do so.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Electric cars have fewer moving mechanical parts than conventional engines. For instance, there are no clutch replacements, timing belts, or spark plugs to worry about, all of which can lead to cheaper routine servicing.
Reduced Vehicle Tax and Clear Air Access
Because electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, this in turn helps you avoid charges in Clean Air Zones and Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) across the UK.
Smooth and Responsive Driving
Then you have the fact that electric motors deliver you instant torque from a standstill.
This then provides you with utterly seamless, quiet acceleration without the jerkiness of traditional gear shifts, making every drive more enjoyable as a direct result.

Here at JT Hughes, we represent some of the most reliable and forward-thinking manufacturers in the industry. As a result, we can also provide you with flexible financing on a broad spectrum of electric models.

Flexible Finance Options for Your Electric Car
We believe getting behind the wheel of a new electric car should be straightforward. That is why our dedicated finance specialists work alongside major lenders to provide you with tailored payment plans that match your personal or business budget.
For instance, here you can have access to:
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
PCP still remains one of the most popular ways to finance a new EV. You pay an initial deposit followed by fixed, manageable monthly payments.
Then at the end of your contract agreement, you have three clear choices:
- Hand the vehicle back with nothing further to pay, subject to mileage and vehicle condition.
- Pay the optional final balloon payment to take full ownership of the car.
- Part-exchange your EV and use any remaining equity towards a brand-new vehicle.
Hire Purchase (HP)
Hire Purchase is then your direct route to complete car ownership.
After paying your initial deposit, you spread the remaining balance across a fixed term with equal monthly instalments; then, once the final payment is cleared, the vehicle is 100% yours.
Business Contract Hire and Fleet Leasing
If you are a business owner, company car driver, or a fleet manager, electric cars provide you with major tax advantages.
For instance, here you can benefit from low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) company car tax rates, lower Class 1A National Insurance contributions, and flexible business leasing agreements tailored to your annual business mileage, to name just some of them.
Understanding EV Charging at Home and on the Road
A common question for drivers new to electric cars, though, really is how charging works in your daily life.
For instance, charging an electric car quickly becomes an easy part of your daily routine for a number of reasons, including:
Home Charging
Most EV owners will tend to complete over 80% of their vehicle charging overnight at home.
As here you can install a dedicated 7kW smart home wallbox which allows you to plug your car in when you get home from work. Then, using your off-peak energy tariffs designed specifically for EV owners, a full overnight charge can cost you just a few pounds.
Public and Rapid Charging
For those out and about and needing a charge, the UK public charging network is expanding rapidly across motorways, retail parks, and town centres.
In fact, rapid and ultra-rapid DC public chargers can top up most electric car batteries from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 to 35 minutes, making long-distance journeys practical and stress-free.
What to Look for When Choosing an Electric Car?
Finding the right electric vehicle, though, really does depend on your everyday driving habits.
Here, for instance, you should consider these key factors when browsing our offers:
Real-World Driving Range
Most modern electric cars now offer ranges between 200 and 350 miles on a single charge. So, if your typical daily commute is under 40 miles, even a compact battery model will easily cover your weekly driving needs.
Boot Space and Practicality
Because electric powertrains also take up less physical space than bulky engines, electric models often provide more passenger legroom and extra storage under the front bonnet.
Battery Warranties
All our manufacturers provide extensive battery pack warranties, typically lasting 8 years or 100,000 miles, giving you absolute peace of mind regarding their long-term reliability.
