Electric Cars For Sale

The British government has set a target according to which at least one out of 10 cars on the roads will be electric by 2020. This autumn the iMIEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) has gone in for production and is expected to hit the market later in the year. Given the sky-high price of the electric cars, I wondered if people would buy it at the time of salary cuts, pension levies and tax increases.

However, after a closer look at the specifications of the iMIEV; it seems that people will love it when they have these electric cars for sale in their city. With the exception of its electric motor and rechargeable battery, an iMIEV car is just like any ordinary car. This plug in electric car has a range of around 160 kilometers. It’s a cost effective vehicle for people who use cars for short journeys to work or shop.

The iMIEV electric cars need a plug in time of just 30 minutes to refill 80 percent of the power. This ‘fuel and power saving’ process can be done while you have your tea or read the newspaper. The manufacturers of iMIEV claim that you can save around €500 every year in comparison to a 660cc petrol-engine version.

While the abolition of road tax for electric cars (expected to be €104 a year) is neither here, nor there in the perspective of financial relevancy, you can save fairly on the lower servicing charges. But whether the British government will achieve its set target or not…only time will tell.
