Benefits of Hiring an EV

Lower Fuel Costs

It's generally less expensive to fully charge an EV, although electricity prices can fluctuate just like the costs of fuel. You will also have access to free parking in some areas.

Reduced Tailpipe Emissions

Electric vehicles take a lighter toll on the environment as they do not produce tailpipe emissions, a common cause of greenhouse gases and one of the causes of air pollution.

Superior Comfort and Performance

EVs accelerate faster than ICE vehicles, delivering maximum torque to the wheels almost instantaneously. EVs are also quieter than ICE vehicles, providing a smooth driving experience with less noise pollution.

From small zippy cars, perfect for city breaks to spacious SUVs and luxury cars for work or leisure, we have the electric vehicle for you.

Charging an Electric Vehicle

Charging an EV is a bit different from putting fuel in your car. You can use a home charging unit or find a charging station in your area using one of the many EV charging map apps. Every electric vehicle has a charging port, a bit like the fuel tank inlet on an ICE vehicle. When you’re ready to charge, you simply open the port cover and insert the charging station connector.
