The benefits of electric driving

Electric cars contribute to better air quality because they have lower CO2 emissions than petrol or diesel cars. Many countries, as well as Switzerland, are already working towards stricter emissions regulations to meet the EU's climate neutrality goal by 2050. Switching to an electric car now means that you are ahead of the curve. Even if only non-renewable electricity is used to charge an electric car during its entire life cycle, it remains more sustainable than a comparable car with a combustion engine in all cases.

Fully electric cars are becoming more accessible and affordable, thanks to the rapidly developing innovations at companies such as Tesla, but also established car brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, and Nissan. Charging infrastructure and technology is also continuously developing and improving, and the charging network in North America, Europe, and China, in particular, has grown exponentially in recent years. With the falling costs, a deluge of new brands and models, and disappearing range anxiety with the construction of each new charging point, it has never been easier or more attractive to drive electric.

Since EVs don’t produce any direct emissions, companies can make considerable progress towards their sustainability goals by shifting to an EV fleet. And with more EVs hitting the market each year, the costs to run them is decreasing. What’s more, maintenance costs for EVs are considerably lower. And, also important to mention, to meet the growing number of EVs on the road the EV charging infrastructure is growing rapidly.
