Go electric with Doran Motors

One of the clearest advantages of switching to an electric car is cost savings. While the initial purchase price of some EVs may appear higher than that of a traditional petrol or diesel vehicle, EVs offer substantial savings over time. The most significant saving is the fuel costs if the person is set up to charge at home using solar or night time rates. The savings can be significant for example, 500km for €5 is achievable.

In addition, with fewer moving parts, electric vehicles are significantly cheaper to maintain. There’s less need for oil changes, exhaust repairs, or timing belt replacements.

“We are also starting to see more affordable offerings coming on the market such as the INSTER from Hyundai, which is very competitively priced,” said Carol Kerr, sales director.

“The staff at Doran Motors are ready to walk customers through the total cost of ownership, highlighting just how economical electric cars can be in the long run,” she added.

Beyond the economics, environmental impact is an increasingly important factor in car-buying decisions. Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them a cleaner choice for the roads of Monaghan, Cavan and beyond. For those concerned about the impact of vehicle emissions on both local air quality and the global climate, driving an EV is a meaningful step in the right direction.

Grants

Ireland’s national policies are also making the move to electric more attractive. With incentives like VRT relief, SEAI grants for private and business buyers for both the vehicle and the home charger, and reduced tolls for EVs, there has never been a better time to make the switch. Doran Motors is well-versed in these programs and can guide customers through the process of applying for available benefits.
