Saving more than money

When you make the switch to an electric vehicle, you aren’t just saving on petrol and running costs – you’re saving the environment for generations to come. Electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel, meaning switching to a Volkswagen plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle could reduce your running costs. And it’s not just powering your vehicle that’s cheaper – maintaining it can be more cost effective too.
