Drive change this World EV Day

Mark your calendars, because 9 September is World EV Day, a global celebration of electric vehicles (EVs) and their power to help us build a greener future. Over 100,000 of you are already leasing an electric vehicle through the Scheme, and the environmental benefits are a clear reason why

A greener planet

Did you know electric vehicles reduce air pollution compared to their petrol or diesel cousins? EVs are helping to lower harmful greenhouse gases and improve air quality in our communities thanks to zero exhaust emissions, according to a report from the European Environment Agency. Plus, as renewable energy sources become more common, charging your EV can become even cleaner.

But the benefits don’t stop there. EVs typically have fewer parts than traditional cars, which means less maintenance, fewer trips to the mechanic and more time on the road.

EVs available on the Motability Scheme

We have a range of EVs on the Motability Scheme designed to suit your travel and lifestyle needs. A great option is the Ford Explorer, which brings adventure to the electric revolution, combining power, space and sustainability.

With an impressive electric motor and generous driving range (between 221 and 374 miles depending on the model) the Explorer is ideal for drivers seeking the perfect mix of performance and comfort. Packed with advanced tech, spacious interiors and versatile seating, it’s built for any journey, from daily commutes to weekend getaways.

Or how about the Hyundai Kona Electric and its state-of-the-art smart tech? Combining practicality with impressive eco-friendly features, it offers a smooth and quiet driving experience with a considerable range.

Hyundai’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond just powering your drive: many interior materials are responsibly sourced or recycled, ensuring your comfort doesn’t cost the earth.
