Electric & Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) represent the cutting edge of automotive innovation, combining performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. A hybrid vehicle uses both a conventional internal combustion engine and an electric motor to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Fully electric vehicles, on the other hand, rely entirely on electricity stored in a rechargeable battery, eliminating tailpipe emissions altogether. These technologies have become increasingly popular as consumers and manufacturers work toward a more sustainable future.

The advantages of hybrid and electric vehicles are numerous. They offer significant fuel savings, reducing the frequency of refueling for hybrids and eliminating it entirely for EVs. By lowering or removing reliance on fossil fuels, these vehicles contribute to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change. Additionally, the SEAI grant of €3,500 is available towards the cost of purchase and an additional €300 is available to cover the purchase and installation of home charging solutions. Hybrid and EV owners also enjoy quieter rides, lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts in electric motors, and innovative features like regenerative braking, which further enhances efficiency. With advancements in battery technology and charging infrastructure, hybrid and electric vehicles are becoming more accessible and practical for everyday drivers.
