The Benefits of Buying Electric from Bridgend Ford

The switch to electric motoring is a move that is required, sooner or later, by all motorists. With governments around the globe pledging to limit CO2 emissions, and the UK government hoping to cease the sale of petrol or diesel models by 2035, there’s never been a better time to get ahead of the crowd. For business motorists, the benefits are plentiful. With more economical performance, you will be able to take advantage of affordable running costs, lower road tax, and even fewer maintenance issues. What’s more, the tax implications of operating a zero emissions model are an added incentive to making the change.

Types of Electric Vehicles Explained

There’s a number of vehicle types available that benefit from electric as a source of power. Find out more about these options below in order to make an informed choice.

Electric Vehicles (EV) Electric vehicles are powered solely by an electric motor, with no internal combustion engine. They can be charged via a public charging point or via home charging solutions, and emit zero CO2 emissions whatsoever.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) Combining an electric motor with a traditional combustion engine, hybrid electric vehicles offer powerful performance and improved efficiency. These models are not plugged in to charge, but use regenerative braking to charge the battery.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles As the name suggests, plug-in hybrid models require plugging in to a suitable outlet in order to charge the battery. This is then used to power the vehicle, switching to combustion engine power once the electrical charge runs out.

Are electric vehicles reliable?

Yes. Electric vans offer exceptional reliability, with an impressive range meaning any work task can be completed easily. Plus, without the moving components of a regular engine, there’s fewer issues that can occur mechanically.

How long to electric vehicles take to charge?

Depending on the model of vehicle you drive and the charging point being used, charge times will vary. Rapid charging points - found at petrol stations, supermarkets and more - will even be able to restore a large amount of your vehicle’s charge in around 30 minutes.

Do electric cars need servicing?

Yes. All vans require frequent servicing, regardless of whether they’re powered by fuel or electric.

How do I install an electric car charging point?

To install a charging point, you should liaise with a certified Office for Low-Emissions Vehicles installer. They will also be able to advise you on any grants available.

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Mistsolar Limited T/A Bridgend Ford to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Ford Credit. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Ford Credit who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Ford Credit also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
