We’re on a mission to cut air pollution – are you with us

According to NHS England, outdoor air pollution is responsible for between 28,000 and 36,00 deaths in the UK every year.1 That’s a staggering figure and one that we’re on a mission to drive down – by encouraging people to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). 

 

With no tailpipe, pure electric vehicles produce no carbon dioxide emissions. This reduces air pollution considerably making our streets cleaner and our towns and cities a better place to be – saving thousands of lives.

 

And if you’re worried that EVs produce more global warming emissions during the manufacturing process, you’re right. Manufacturing a mid-sized EV with an average 84 mile range results in 15% more emissions. However, EV make up for their higher manufacturing emissions within, at most, 18 months of driving, and continue to outperform petrol and diesel equivalents until the end of their lives. 

 

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re considering making the switch to an EV, then we’d love to help you on your journey. Talk to us today and let’s get you set up with a home EV charger!
