What are the benefits of going electric?
By choosing an electric van, you can enjoy several advantages over conventional diesel or petrol vehicles. Some of these benefits are:
- You can save money on fuel, road tax, and congestion charges. The Vivaro Electric has a cost per mile of 2.1p, compared to 10.3p for a diesel van. You also don’t have to pay any road tax or congestion charge, which can add up to significant savings over time.
- You can reduce your environmental impact and comply with emission regulations. The Vauxhall Vivaro Electric produces zero tailpipe emissions, which means you can drive in low-emission zones and help improve air quality. You can also reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to the UK’s net zero target by 2050.
- You can enjoy a smoother and quieter driving experience. The Vivaro Electric has a powerful electric motor that delivers instant torque and acceleration. It also runs silently, which reduces noise pollution and stress for drivers and passengers.
