Here's why you should choose electric!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more electric cars are driving in our country. That means more and more people are making the move to electric driving. But whence this popularity?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are ready for a new car, you have probably already gazed at the current range of cars on offer. You know what's for sale. You may also be left with questions. Many well-known car brands, for instance, only largely sell hybrids or fully electric cars now. That takes some getting used to if you have always been used to driving a fuel car. Yet it is no wonder that more and more people have started driving electric in recent years. In this article, we explain why based on some major advantages. This is why switching to electric driving will be a good choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facilities are getting better and better\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government considers it very important to encourage the purchase of eco-friendly cars. Electric vehicles do not emit CO2 while driving. In the Netherlands, a fifth of total CO2 emissions are now created by road traffic. If more people drive electric, this can be reduced considerably.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-156896 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/autobaak.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pexels-jeshootscom-13861-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>That means they have included several things in the environmental agreement for 2030 to make electric driving more attractive. For instance, the goal is to have 1.7 million charging stations in the Netherlands by 2030. It is estimated that around 1.9 million electric vehicles will then be driving. Just for comparison, there are currently about 55,000 electric charging stations available in our country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is that there will always be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grid.com\/nl\/laadpaal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charging station nearby<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be. This makes it much less problematic to make the switch. After all, many people fear that it is more inconvenient to charge than to fill up. Moreover, there is also a logistical need for more charging stations. After all, the demand for electric vehicles is increasing considerably, so it is important that the facilities improve to avoid commotion at the charging stations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that the Netherlands currently leads Europe when it comes to electric vehicle facilities? Not bad for such a small country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affordable\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When electric cars were just emerging, we saw that prices were very high. By now, almost all manufacturers have included an electric model in their range. The supply is increasing considerably and prices may drop a bit as a result. Moreover, there are also plenty of affordable used cars with an electric drive these days. Not to mention the tax advantages. This makes electric driving increasingly affordable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower cost of fuel\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will not have escaped anyone's notice that driving a car has become incredibly expensive in recent years. Mostly due to skyrocketing petrol prices. If you fill up a full tank now, the average car will cost between seventy-five and a hundred euros. Charging the battery of an electric car will soon cost a lot less anyway. It often saves more than half. You are even cheaper if you can charge at home. Especially in combination with solar panels. So in the long run, driving electric saves a lot on fuel costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more electric cars are driving in our country.
