It’s important to remember what a fundamental part the climate plays in our lives and the direct consequences that climate change has for society. We need to foster reflection on present and future commitments, to ensure our well-being.
There are plenty of solutions to help slow down climate change, with everyday options available to help us to combat it.
One of them is to opt for sustainable mobility, using electric or hybrid vehicles as an alternative to cars with internal combustion engines.
Besides cutting pollutant gas emissions, there are a number of other advantages to consider in the switch to an electric or hybrid vehicle as your next means of transport.
Here are five.
- Environmental sustainability: electric vehicles generate zero CO2 emissions, meaning they are respectful towards the environment. By choosing an electric or hybrid vehicle, you're helping to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change and improve air quality.
- Lower maintenance costs: these vehicles need fewer services than ones with combustion engines, as they have fewer moving part that require regular maintenance.
- Tax breaks and subsidies: all wholly electric vehicles have a zero environmental rating badge, offering owners tax incentives and financial advantages such as road tax exemption, partial discounts or waivers for road tolls, free or reduced prices for parking in regulated areas, subsidies and financial support for purchases (Moves III plan), and of course, unrestricted access to LEZ (Low Emission Zones).
- Better driving experience: electric vehicles tend to offer a smoother and more silent driving experience compared to traditional cars. The instant delivery of power and quick acceleration are distinctive characteristics.
- Greater energy efficiency: the energy efficiency of this sort of vehicle is around 75%, which means that a large part of the energy is used to drive the vehicle and a minimum amount is lost or transformed into another type of energy. Cars with combustion engines have an energy efficiency of 27%, as a large part of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
The Endolla Barcelona network backs electric mobility
Endolla Barcelona offers members of the public its network of recharging points to make it easier for people to adopt electric vehicles. We continue to grow and now have a thousand points in operation, making charging easy and accessible.
By opting for sustainable mobility, you’re actively helping to construct a more liveable future for future generations. The decision to cut emissions and minimise your carbon footprint has a positive impact on the environment.
Choose an electric vehicle and be part of the change towards a more sustainable future.
