Why make the leap to electric vehicles?

More and more car brands are betting on the manufacture of electric vehicles as an alternative to combustion vehicles. In this way, a response is offered to some of the new concerns of 21st-century consumers: climate change and the need to save.

5 reasons to consider switching to an electric car

We don't want to convince you to choose an electric car for your next purchase. We're just going to show you the differences and the benefits you would get from it, so that after reading this article all your doubts will be dispelled and you can make the decision that best suits your lifestyle.

• Reduces pollution

While driving, 100% electric vehicles do not emit polluting emissions into the atmosphere. This is a great advantage especially if you plan to travel through large cities where the circulation of combustion vehicles is restricted, since this regulation does not apply to electric cars.

In addition, you can drive in the BUS/VAO lane established for public transport, which makes driving easier and saves more time. In some models, solar panels are installed on the roof to provide "self-charging". And, the batteries are recyclable. Once they no longer work in the car, they can be reused to produce lower-capacity batteries for other uses, such as home batteries.

• It benefits from tax advantages

How would you like to save on the registration tax or get discounts of up to 75% on the IVTM? With an electric car, it's possible! You can also enjoy free parking in certain downtown areas with the DGT badge.

As if that weren't enough, there are very significant grants to encourage its purchase. Through the MOVES Plans you can get up to €9,000 off and if you live in Madrid, you can apply for the "Cambia 360" grant, which amounts to €8,000 off for the purchase of a vehicle with these features.

• Lower maintenance investment

Its maintenance is limited to periodic checks of the condition of the batteries and electric motors, as it lacks large mechanical components.

• Saving time and money

How much money do you invest each month in filling up the tank? With an electric vehicle, this expense disappears. It is estimated that recharging these cars costs the equivalent of €1 per 100 kilometers.

In addition, they have greater energy efficiency, meaning the cost of travel per kilometer is eight times lower than a car that is not efficient. But that's not all, as we have defined in the previous points, you also save on parking costs and maintenance expenses. Are you already doing the math?

• Comfortable and relaxed driving

I assure you that once you experience driving an electric car, it will be very hard to go back to a combustion one. The reason is very simple. Not having to constantly change gears, not emitting any noise, and the spaciousness of the interior of these vehicles offer a comfort that is hard to forget.

If you want to try all these benefits first-hand, I invite you to do so with Bequikly. The first shared mobility project, 100% electric, specifically for dealerships. What do you say? Do you dare to make the leap?
