WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS?
Electric vehicles are committed to making as little environmental impact possible, re-imaging processes, wider business operations, including offices and production plants, reducing CO2 and NOX and also ensuring that the full life cycle of those vehicles and components is environmental as it can be.
HOW CAN WE BE SURE THAT AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Here at Yeomans our strategy is to provide the customer with choices, whether it be petrol, diesel, electric or plug-in hybrid we will do our best to find the car that suits an individual driver’s wants and needs. If you want to be more environmentally conscious it means the style or size of the vehicles isn't compromised.
WHAT ARE THE COST DIFFERENCES OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?
Initially electric vehicles are more expensive to buy but the running costs are much lower, and there are tax benefits and other incentives including discounts on congestion charges. Plus, electric vehicles under £35,000 benefits from £2,500 Government Grant.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?
The cost of charging an electric vehicle depends on where you charge the vehicle and the cost of your electricity. Although the majority of customers install a charge-point at their home, using public charging stations is another option, some are free to use, others have variable charges.
HOW DO I ORGANISE GETTING A CHARGEPOINT AT MY HOME?
If you have off street parking you are fully approved under the government Homecharge scheme, benefitting from a grant funding of £350 towards the cost. Pod Point is our charging partner, they can assist with installing a charging point at your home. Click here to visit the Pod Point website for more information.
WHAT PLUGS DO THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES USE?
New generation vehicles are equipped with CCS (Combined charging system) sockets, so they can be charged from a standard Type 2 chargepoint, a domestic plug socket, or a public rapid charger. Our plug-in hybrids have Type 2 sockets - as they don't need to be rapidly charged.
HOW DO I CHARGE MY VEHICLE IF I DO NOT HAVE OFF STREET PARKING?
Unfortunately, you cannot benefit from the government's Homecharge grant scheme, however there are numerous ways to charge your vehicle if you don’t have off street parking including at your workplace, the government offers grant funding for workplaces to install a charge point. The second charging option is public charge points or selected local councils provide charging points for residents that must park on the street. Some London boroughs have introduced lamppost charging already.
IS THE BATTERY PERFORMANCE AFFECTED WITH AGE?
It is normal for battery performance to degrade over time with use, however this is minimal. From a warranty perspective, 70% of the vehicle is covered for a number of years. Speak to your local Yeomans dealership to find out more.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE BATTERY?
Replacing the cost of a battery can be expensive which is why we provide an exceptionally long traction battery warranty! Speak to your local Yeomans dealership to find out the terms of each brands electric warranty. The cost of batteries has decreased very significantly over the past 8 years and will continue to do so. This is partly due to reducing costs of raw materials as electric vehicles become more popular and volume increases.
