Ready to go all-out on all-electric?

The COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference is taking place right here in Scotland. As well as focusing the world’s attention on climate change issues, it will almost certainly inspire people closer to home to take positive action to protect the environment.

Simon Hessett, a Newgate customer and former cyber security expert, has been driving EVs for seven years. His move to electric was driven by his love of new technology, and his children’s enthusiasm for the ecobenefits. Now he says he’d never go back to petrol or diesel.

One way we can play our part in stewardship of the planet and the fight against climate change is to switch to an all-electric vehicle – an EV. With their lower emissions, EVs aren’t just better for the environment, they’re cheaper to run, too.

“People ask if we’re worried about running out of charge – but it’s no different to managing fuel in a petrol car. We have a home charger which we can plug the car into overnight when Scotland’s electricity supply tends to be 100% renewable, and off-peak tariffs can provide a full charge for less than £3. That means we’re always starting each day with a full battery and we’ve never come close to running out.”

Doing some research is great advice. And it’s exactly what Newgate customer Eric Walker did before he changed to an EV. After looking into the different electric chargers to see what would suit him best, he had one installed. Then a winning combination of the environmental benefits, cost savings and excellent performance steered him towards his brand new Renault Zoe.

“The Zoe is a lovely car to drive, it’s so easy to park, and it’s nippy. And 70 miles on the car costs me 98p! You can’t drive 70 miles in a petrol or diesel car for 98p. I’ll stick with electric cars from here on in. Much, much cheaper to run.”

Getting behind the wheel of the multi-award winning, supermini Zoe isn’t the only thing to make Eric smile.

“My daughter got a car from Newgate as well – and she’s an Accountant. If she’s gone for it, then it must be a good deal!”
