Benefits of electrified motoring
At Bennett Dacia and Renault Leeds, we offer a diverse range of electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles. These advanced automobiles boast numerous advantages, while aligning with our commitment to sustainable and innovative motoring solutions.
Electric cars – the benefits
- Eco-friendly: Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero harmful emissions, significantly reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases, ideal for eco-conscious drivers.
- Low running costs: EVs have fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, leading to lower maintenance costs. Additionally, electricity is typically cheaper than petrol/diesel, resulting in substantial fuel savings.
- Performance: Electric motors deliver instant torque, ensuring smooth and rapid acceleration for a responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
- Government incentives: These include tax credits and grants, making the initial investment in EVs more affordable.
EVs are increasingly sophisticated, offering ranges suitable for long journeys. For instance, the Renault Scenic E-Tech 100% Electric can drive up to 379 miles on a single charge – and undergo a 15% to 80% top-up in less than 40 minutes using a 130/150 kW connector.
EVs require manual charging, which can be done at home, work or on the road.
Plug-in hybrid cars – the benefits
- Electric range: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) offer a longer electric-only range compared to regular hybrids, allowing for more zero-emissions driving.
- Flexibility: PHEVs can switch to petrol/diesel when the battery is depleted, providing the convenience of traditional fuel with the efficiency of electric power.
- Reduced fuel consumption: PHEVs significantly minimise fuel consumption, especially for short commutes and urban driving. For example, the Renault Captur E-Tech PHEV returns up to 188 mpg, produces CO2 emissions from 34 g/km, and offers an electric range of up to 32 miles.
Like EVs, PHEVs require manual charging.
Hybrid cars – the benefits
- Fuel efficiency: Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine a combustion engine with an electric motor, enhancing efficiency and reducing fuel expenses.
- Reduced emissions: HEVs produce fewer emissions than traditional petrol/diesel vehicles, contributing to a cleaner environment.
- Versatility: The combination of electric and conventional power provides greater range, eliminating concerns about battery range.
The seven-seat Dacia Jogger Hybrid 140 is a top hybrid model that combines two electric motors with a combustion engine. It offers self-charging convenience – and smart automatic transmission, which enhances performance while minimising fuel consumption.
