Thinking about making the switch? Here's why EV drivers rarely go back to petrol or diesel.
Electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel - and prices are more stable. Most EV drivers see a noticeable drop in their monthly fuel spend.
EVs produce no exhaust emissions - which means cleaner air, especially in towns and cities. Even accounting for electricity generation, the overall carbon footprint is significantly lower than petrol or diesel.
The network is growing fast. With Applegreen Fast Charge, you'll find ultra-fast chargers across Ireland, the UK and the USA - at motorway plazas, retail parks, and urban locations. Plug in, tap to pay (or use the app), and you're done.
Battery range is increasing, charging speeds are improving, and prices are coming down. An EV bought today will only become easier to live with as the infrastructure around it grows.
New to EVs? Our team is here to help - whether that's a question about charging, a problem at a station, or just figuring out how it all works. Real people, available 24/7.
Find your nearest Applegreen Fast Charge Hub and see how easy it is.
