Electric mobility

The latest generation of electric cars has a realistic range of up to 500 km on a single charge, while more and more charging stations are being added. Given that electricity is currently the cheapest fuel, charging an electric car costs less than filling up on a tank of petrol or diesel. Moreover, electric engines require less maintenance: another money- and time-saving benefit. The power of the engine is usually greater than with a comparable car with an internal combustion engine, and that power is also immediately available in full, which ensures dynamic driving pleasure.

To accelerate the EV revolution, new legislation around electric vehicles was introduced. In June 2022, a European Parliament vote mandated that all new cars and vans sold in the European Union should be zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Manufacturers will no longer be allowed to sell new cars or LCVs with internal combustion engines. The EU seeks to have at least 30 million electric vehicles on the roads by 2030. More and more cities are implementing low-emission zones (LEZs) as they strive to improve air quality for urban residents. More than 200 cities now have some version of an LEZ policy, and this number will only continue to rise.

Always access to low emission zones

The big attraction of an EV is the fact that you can do km after km of emission-free driving. When on the move, the EV system is a "closed loop", meaning that the battery drives the electric motor and powers all the vehicle's electrical systems, but doesn't produce any waste.

That’s great news for electric vehicle drivers. Why? Because you can still access low emission zones. Many cities keep cars with internal combustion engines far from their centers because of the harmful air pollution they cause. More than 200 cities, such as London, Amsterdam, Stuttgart and Stockholm, have already introduced low-emission zones. The most polluting cars with internal combustion engines are also banned in Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. With electric cars, you continue to have access to low-emission zones.
