There are no gears in an electric car, it’s a direct drive – straight to the wheels. Just press the accelerator pedal and you get smooth power instantly from the electric motor. It’s clean, efficient and produces strong performance with zero emissions.

Based on a cost-per-mile basis a pure electric car could cost you less than a third of a petrol or diesel car. There are also significant tax advantages and some government grants to help you on your way.

An electric car doesn’t have an exhaust or tailpipe . It is emission free and can be classified legitimately as zero – which is certainly beneficial for an urban environment where local air pollution is a real problem.

Yes, electric cars need servicing. Usually, a pure electric car has just these main components: the electric motor, an on-board charger, the battery and an inverter. This is one of the main reasons why electric cars cost less to service; compared to a conventional petrol or diesel cars. Electric motors have proved to be very reliable, requiring very little attention.

Electric cars don’t need a multi-speed, manual or automatic gearbox. Unlike combustion engines, electric motors have a very wide power band – they run at high RPM –  and a simple fixed-ratio transmission is all that’s needed.

Electric cars don’t have gears, because they run directly from the electric motor. Speed depends on how much acceleration you demand. No clutch is required, since the electric motor can produce torque from 0 RPM upwards.

The range of electric cars on the road these days is steadily improving through advances in battery technology. Today, pure electric cars can easily drive for around 200kms before you need to recharge, newer models can now go for over 500kms.

You’ll need to install a plug-in socket at home and then plan your journey so that you can recharge when necessary on longer drives. Whenever your electric car tells you that the battery is running low, you just plug it in. It’s so simple…like plugging in your phone. We would highly recommend getting an EV charger installed in your home or business when you move to an electric car.

No, there are two types and they’re simply named Type1 and Type 2. However, there is a universal type available that will fit both. Most of the current generation of electric cars use a standard Type 2 which is what all public chargers are all based on.

It is now a proven fact that batteries in an electric vehicle produced today have a life span exceeding 10+ years. We have even seen electric vehicles with over 300,000 kms on the clock still with battery health of over 94%.

A home charge, on an installed EV point, usually takes around 7 hours. Using a rapid charger, most cars can be charged up to 80% in under 40 minutes.

Yes, you do. Grants of up to €10000 are available for your new EV and also a private EV owner can claim €600 towards the install of an EV charger at your home.
