8 Reasons to go Electric
Need a reason to switch from your internal combustion engine to an electric vehicle? Here are 8 reasons that will make you think about this popular means of transport.
In Switzerland, 50% of new vehicles are fully electric or plug-in hybrids. By 2030, half of all new vehicles would be 100% electric!
1. With electric cars, you break down less often!
The engine of a conventional vehicle (diesel & petrol) is made up of many parts, with about 2000 parts, a breakdown can happen quickly. An electric motor is made up of only 200 parts, so logically you will minimize breakdowns and maintenance costs.
2. The life cycle is 2 times more sustainable
Considering the whole life cycle of the vehicle, the ecological balance is doubled or tripled compared to a diesel or petrol vehicle.
3. No more CO2 emissions during traffic jams... And everywhere else!
From the very first kilometre of your electric vehicle, you contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It produces no CO2 or particles for better air quality.
4. Save energy while driving
Let's compare 200 km with an internal combustion vehicle and an electric vehicle. That's up to three times less energy used for the electric vehicle.
5. A full tank at half the price... Does that exist?
With electric cars, it's now possible! By installing a charging station at your home, you will benefit from an average electricity rate in Switzerland of 21.6ct/kWh, which means that for a 250kWh charge (400 to 600 km), you will pay about 52 CHF-.
6. Help to buy my electric car
The cantons offer subsidies to help individuals and companies switch to electric cars. In Geneva, you can get up to CHF 1,000 for the installation of a charging point on an individual parking space.
7. The green transition car
It is the only car that can run 100% on renewable energy such as solar or hydro power, which account for 76% of the energy used in Switzerland.
8. A life-changing driving experience.
This vehicle not only has ecological and economical advantages, it also provides a completely different driving experience. It is silent, has no gearbox and does not vibrate. On top of that, this car offers race car-like acceleration without jerking!
Of course, the electric vehicle is still in the process of development. Today, you have to drive an electric vehicle about 32,000 km to compensate for the CO2 emissions produced during its manufacture. Within 10 years, battery recycling could also reduce the emissions associated with these vehicles.
