No this isn’t a Yorkshireman’s favourite car, it is a genuine contender for one of the best electric cars available at the moment.
The e-up! is now on sale at 24 VW dealerships across the UK.
To boost the green credentials of their cars, all customers are also entitled at point of sale to opt in to a green electricity package from Ecotricity, which ensures that when they recharge their car at home they are doing so using 100 per cent green energy.
As part of Ecotricity’s ‘Green Electricity + Car’ package, customers receive green energy for their homes, a free smart meter to monitor electricity usage, access to Ecotricity’s national network of charging points, the Electric Highway, as well as 1,000 free miles* in their e-up!.
Commenting on the package, Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity said: “Ecotricity’s new tariff ensures customers with electric cars are recharging at home with green energy and as a bonus they’ll get 1,000 free miles worth of electricity. And when away from home, drivers of electric cars will also have access to the Electric Highway, so when you’re out and about you can still drive with zero emissions.”
It costs around £24,250, including battery, before the government’s £5,000 electric car grant is applied, which brings the on-road price down to £19,250. It is also available on Volkswagen Financial Services’ eSolutions personal contract plan for £199 per month.
