The key to any electric vehicle purchase is to think about how you use it. If you’re someone who drives a pick-up truck or van for work and most of your daily miles are done locally, an EV could save you serious cash. Even if you drive a bit further afield, an EV with a 250-mile range would probably be fine – and again, it will save you money if you charge up at home on a low-rate tariff.
Similarly, if your pick-up use is more out of convenience than the need to tow or put heavy loads in the back, an EV can make sense. Then there are the tax advantages to business owners for going all-electric, and the branding benefits of growing green.
