These vehicles can achieve a great distance when on the road between filling up your tank. 2 - Zero Emissions The PHEV operates with an electric motor that combined with a combustion engine power plant. So when the vehicle is operating on the 100% electric motor the car won’t produce any emissions. Giving you the benefit of driving in restricted zones in Citys like London. 3 - Cheap To Run Most Plug-In Hybrid cars offer an electric motor that can produce around 35-miles+ on just the electric motor. This means if you are doing a short commute or doing jobs round down, you won’t be spending anything at the fuel station until you need to go further. 4 - Low Road Tax Reduce your motoring expenses by buying a PHEV. Due to reduced emissions, you don’t get taxed as much if anything when buying a Plug-In Hybrid car. 3 Benefits Of Owning A HEV (Hybrid Vehicle) 1 - Miles Per Gallon When owning or researching a Hybrid car you will see the good miler per gallon figures stated by the manufactures. You’ll see that this vehicle type offers better mpg than a diesel or petrol engine. 2 - Zero Emissions The HEV operates with an electric motor that combined with a combustion engine power plant. The electric engine is charged by the engine braking of the petrol or diesel engine. This gives you an electric motor that can power your car 100% on electric. Offering you zero emissions when driving in 100% electric mode. 3 - Don’t Plug It In The electric motor isn’t charged by plugging into the power grid. Your electric engine in an HEV is charged by the movement of the combustion engine. When you let off your accelerator, your engine begins to slow you down instead of breaking. This is when your battery gets charged. So you don’t have to remember to make sure you plug your car in to top up the battery. Electric FAQs Are electric cars more expensive?

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
