Electric Car Grants – The UK Government has announced $8000 Car Grant for the purchase of an Electric Car. Hence, you can save a good percentage of money when opting to buy an electric car.
Maintenance Cost – When comparing to the Fuel cars, expenses to maintain the parts of an Electric car are significantly cheaper. For instance, there are not much oil changes that you’d require in a Fuel car.
Clean Running Car – Electric cars are also known as ZEVs (Zero Emission Vehicles). There is no diesel or petrol or gas to burn that could pollute the atmosphere and hence you can’t expect the engine to get heated up. Electric Cars are 100%  Emission-free Cars.
Fuel Efficiency – Cost for producing, refining and transporting fuels are increasing everyday. This case is not same with producing electricity. There are plenty of renewable sources for electric power such as wind mills, solar panels, etc. If there is only one way to bring down the price of the fuels, then it must be by reducing its consumption.
