Now
If you are thinking of going electric for your next vehicle, here are 10 great

1. Electric vehicles are good for the environment. Petrol and diesel
vehicles produce carbon emissions which are the primary source of
greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming.
2. Petrol and diesel vehicles pump exhaust fumes containing dangerous
chemicals into the air we breathe. These chemicals can damage our
lungs and our health. Electric vehicles don’t produce emissions so
