Electric Vehicles are certainly more environmentally friendly than combustion vehicles and will become even more so as the generation of electricity in Ireland switches to more renewable sources. The Irish government has set an ambitious target of up to 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
The overall distance range of an electric car has improved dramatically in recent years. For example, a 40kWh battery provides around 270km range on one charge, while a 62kWh battery provides up to 385km on one charge. Home charging has also helped reduce ‘range anxiety’ amongst EV drivers.
Electric cars are cheaper to fuel, tax and maintain in the long run over traditional combustion vehicles. There are fewer moving parts, reducing total service trips, and according to the SEAI’s comparison calculator, the average annual saving is circa €2000 per year.
Depending on the price of the vehicle, a government grant of up to €3,500 is still available to all private individuals when buying/leasing a new EV. All Nifti prices are inclusive of grants available.
Home charging is a real game changer for EV drivers, making the switch to an electric vehicle all the more convenient. Currently, there is also a grant of €600 available for home charger installation in Ireland.
42% of Irish consumers cite better fuel efficiency or environmental reasons for wanting a new car, the highest of all other reasons for changing a car*.
