1. Electrics offer better performance and (subjectively) are more fun to drive.
2. You'll save a lot on running costs (even at current inflated electricity prices, it works out much cheaper than fueling up with petrol in the UK).
3. You'll also save a lot on tax. £0 annual car tax even on cars over £40k. That's more than £2500 savings over the first 5 years on a £40k car, and potentially a lot more if it qualifies for benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax or you drive in a congestion/low-emission zone.
4. It's likely the residuals will be better as an EV bought today will probably depreciate less than a similar diesel or petrol, given the high demand for EVs.
5. Feel-good factor about being able to drive around with less harm to the climate and local air quality!
