Benefits of Electric & Hybrid Vehicles

Ecological Benefits

Electric and hybrid vehicles help lower carbon emissions, reduce environmental impact, and support a more sustainable future without compromising on performance.

Reduced Maintenance

Electric vehicles have simpler powertrains with fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars. This eliminates the need for engine oil changes and can significantly reduce routine servicing and maintenance costs.

Reduced Running Costs

Reduce fuel expenses and benefit from lower maintenance costs. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than conventional cars, which can mean fewer repairs and reduced servicing costs over time.

Electric

Convenient and cost-effective charging allows you to charge your EV at home and wake up to a full battery each morning. By taking advantage of exclusive low-cost home energy tariffs, you can also maximise savings on charging costs.

A smooth and refined drive comes from the electric motor and single-gear transmission, delivering effortless, responsive and linear acceleration for a comfortable and engaging driving experience. Combined with reduced noise pollution and zero tailpipe emissions, EVs offer a more sustainable way to travel while benefiting both drivers and their local communities.

Full hybrid

Impressive fuel economy – Its advanced hybrid system automatically optimises the use of electric and petrol power, helping you make the most of every journey while maintaining a smooth and responsive driving experience.

No range anxiety – Simply refuel with petrol and carry on driving as you normally would. The hybrid system recharges the battery as you drive, giving you the freedom to travel without relying on charging points.

No plug-in charging required – Enjoy the benefits of hybrid technology without the need for cables or external charging. The Mazda2 Hybrid takes care of its battery charging automatically, making efficient motoring simple and convenient.

Mild hybrid

Reduced emissions - By powering the vehicle’s electrical systems, hybrid technology reduces the strain on the engine, allowing it to operate more efficiently. This helps improve fuel economy while reducing emissions.

Improved fuel economy - Hybrid technology uses stored electrical energy to support acceleration and deliver smoother gear changes, improving fuel efficiency and driving refinement.

No External Charging: - You never need to plug a mild hybrid into a wall outlet or charging station; the battery recharges automatically while driving.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)

Fuel Savings - PHEVs feature larger batteries than conventional hybrids, typically offering an electric-only range of 20 to 50 miles. This enables many daily commutes and short journeys to be completed using electric power alone, reducing fuel consumption and the need to refuel.

Full electric range - This allows daily commutes and short trips to be completed on electric power alone, reducing fuel consumption.

Great range, no anxiety - Unlike fully electric vehicles, PHEVs switch seamlessly to their petrol or diesel engine when the battery is depleted, allowing longer journeys without relying on charging infrastructure.

F&Q's

Most new electric vehicles (EVs) can travel between 120 and 350 miles on a single charge, with an overall real-world average sitting around 243 to 300 miles.

• Speed: Driving fast on motorways (at a steady 70 mph) consumes energy faster than city driving at lower speeds.
• Weather and Temperature: Cold weather and heavy use of heating or air conditioning can reduce your range by 10% to 30%.
• Driving Style: Smooth acceleration and using regenerative braking (which recovers energy when you slow down) help stretch the battery.
• Testing Standards: Official figures are usually measured using the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) standard, which may differ slightly from daily real-world results.

Charging times depend on the type of charging station and the vehicle’s battery capacity. Fast chargers can provide a significant charge in less than an hour, while standard home chargers typically take several hours to fully recharge the battery.
