With potential bans on new petrol and diesel cars, electric cars are likely to become ever more popular.
If you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint, electric vehicle finance is one of the most effective ways to do this.
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular every year. And as range, charging speed and the number of chargers increases every year, the growth of electric vehicles looks likely to continue.
If you are looking to move on to an electric vehicle, finance can help you make this dream a reality. Of course, there are many things to consider before applying for electric vehicle finance.
Representative Example: Borrow £6,000 with £1,000 deposit over 48 months with a representative APR of 18.8%, monthly payment would be £174.22, with a total cost of credit of £2,362.56 and a total amount payable of £9,362.56. CarMoney Limited can introduce you to a limited number of finance providers based on your credit rating and we will receive a commission for such introductions this can either be a % of the amount borrowed or a flat fee. This does not influence the interest rate you’re offered in any way. CarMoney is a broker not a lender.

Cost of running electric cars
As with any vehicle, there are costs associated with running an electric car. You will need to consider:
Initial Costs and Deposit: While EV prices have been steadily decreasing, they still tend to be slightly higher than traditional fuel cars. If you can afford it, a deposit can help reduce monthly financial commitments.
Interest Rates and Loan Terms: Interest rates on car loans are influenced by various factors, including credit score, loan term, and the lender’s policies. Given the environmentally-friendly nature of EVs, some financial institutions offer lower interest rates or special incentives for EV buyers.
Government Incentives: There are various government schemes designed to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. These include grants towards the cost of charging point installation.
Other costs to consider when buying an electric car
While there is help available, and electric vehicle finance can help you spread the cost of the car, there are some costs you will have to take into account when deciding if an electric car is right for you. These include:
Vehicle Price: The base price of the electric vehicle itself is a primary consideration. It includes the cost of the car, along with any additional features or packages.
Charging Infrastructure: Establishing a reliable charging infrastructure at home is paramount for electric vehicle ownership. This may involve the installation of a charging station. Even with government grants available, you will need to contribute to the charging station cost.
Insurance Premiums: Insuring an electric vehicle may entail higher premiums due to the nature of the technology. However, some insurers offer discounts for eco-friendly vehicles. Be sure to research your insurer.
Maintenance and Repairs: Electric vehicles generally have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, resulting in lower maintenance costs over time. However, it’s essential to budget for potential repairs or battery replacement in the long run.
Energy Costs: Charging an electric vehicle requires electricity, which is a cost to factor into your monthly budget. However, charging an electric car is generally cheaper than filling up at the pump.
While the initial costs may be higher than buying a fuel car, CarMoney can help you find the right electric vehicle finance plan for you.
Green alternatives to pure electric vehicles: hybrid cars
While electric vehicles offer the biggest reduction in your carbon footprint, they aren’t practical for everyone. This may be down to the cost, or the availability of charging points.
However, there are other options if you are looking to reduce the carbon footprint of your vehicle. CarMoney can find finance options for hybrid vehicles including:
Self-Charging Hybrids: These use the petrol engine to charge the electric battery. They can be driven on pure electric power for short distances before the engine takes over and then charges the battery.
Plug-In Hybrid: These cars can be charged using an external power source. The battery allows for longer distance travel before the petrol engine is needed.
Mild Hybrid: These cars also have both an electric battery and a petrol engine. The engine can be turned off whenever the car is coasting, braking or stopped, then quickly turned on when needed.
Whether you are looking at a hybrid car or a full-electric car, CarMoney can help you find the right finance plan for you.
