May 12th 2023

Introduction

It's time to make the switch to an electric car! You've probably heard that electric cars are better for the environment and more economical than petrol or diesel vehicles. But what you may not have heard is that owning one can help you save money on running costs, while also reducing your carbon footprint. So why buy an electric car in Cyprus? In this article, we outline the advantages of owning an electric car in Cyprus.

Electric cars are more environmentally friendly

The amount of CO2 emitted by an electric car is significantly less than that from petrol and diesel vehicles, as they do not use fossil fuels.In fact, it's estimated that if all cars were electric there would be no carbon emissions at all! This contributes towards Cyprus' goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

Electric cars are cheaper to run than petrol/diesel vehicles

There are many benefits to owning an electric car - firstly, they're cheaper to run! You'll save money on fuel costs and maintenance bills because there's no need for oil changes or exhaust repairs like you get with regular engines; plus there are fewer parts in general so repairs will be simpler too! The only thing you'll need to worry about is replacing batteries after around 10 years depending on how much use they've had (they're designed not to wear out though). There's also no need for smelly petrol stations either - simply plug them into any household socket or use the “e-point” public EV chargers network developed by the Pilakoutas Group and Troodos Electric Cables Ltd.

Cyprus Government Incentive Scheme

The amount of the grant for electric models is €10,000 and €7,500 for plug-in hybrid models.The program subsidizes electric and plug-in hybrid cars with carbon emissions up to 50g/km. 


In addition, the program offers citizens the opportunity to withdraw their old car, gaining a discount on the purchase of a new electric car.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the above advantages indicate that buying an electric car not only affects the financial side of an individual but also the environmental/footprint that he/she leaves behind.

Electric cars are cheaper to run than petrol cars because they use electricity instead of fuel. Electric cars have fewer components and moving parts than gas-powered vehicles, which results in lower maintenance costs.
