Make the Switch to Electric

Electric vehicles are no longer the future; they are the present. With the UK government's ban on new petrol and diesel car sales approaching, more drivers than ever are making the switch to electric. And with good reason: electric cars are cheaper to run, better for the environment, and increasingly enjoyable to drive.

At Happy Motor Finance, we are helping thousands of UK drivers go electric by offering affordable EV finance with competitive rates. Whether you want a compact city EV, a family-sized electric SUV, or a high-performance electric sports car, we can find finance that fits your budget.

The Benefits of Going Electric

Lower Running Costs

Charging an electric car costs a fraction of filling up with petrol or diesel. Home charging typically costs around 3 to 5 pence per mile, compared to 12 to 18 pence per mile for a petrol car. Over the course of a year, that adds up to savings of hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

Zero Road Tax

Fully electric vehicles registered before April 2025 are exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty entirely. Even with recent changes, EVs remain significantly cheaper to tax than petrol or diesel equivalents.

Reduced Maintenance

Electric cars have fewer moving parts than combustion engine vehicles. There are no oil changes, no timing belts, no exhaust systems, and the regenerative braking system means brake pads last significantly longer. This translates to lower maintenance bills throughout the life of the vehicle.

London Congestion and Clean Air Zones

Electric vehicles are exempt from the London Congestion Charge and compliant with all Clean Air Zones across the UK. If you drive in urban areas regularly, an EV could save you a significant amount in charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Electric cars tend to have a higher purchase price than equivalent petrol or diesel models, which can mean slightly higher monthly payments. However, the total cost of ownership is often lower because electric cars are cheaper to charge than to fuel, have lower road tax, and require less maintenance with no oil changes, fewer brake replacements, and simpler mechanics.
Modern electric cars typically offer between 150 and 300 miles of range on a full charge, depending on the model. Premium models like the Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQS can exceed 350 miles. Real-world range will vary based on driving style, speed, temperature, and use of heating or air conditioning.
Yes, we offer finance on both new and used electric vehicles. Used EVs can offer excellent value, as they often still have plenty of battery warranty remaining. Popular used choices include the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, BMW i3, and Tesla Model 3.
A home charger is not essential, but it is highly recommended. Home charging is significantly cheaper than public charging and far more convenient. A 7kW home wallbox can fully charge most electric cars overnight. The UK public charging network is also growing rapidly, with thousands of chargers available at supermarkets, car parks, and motorway services.
Yes, we work with lenders who consider applications from customers with all types of credit history. Electric cars are financed in the same way as petrol or diesel vehicles, and our panel includes lenders who specialise in helping people with CCJs, defaults, and low credit scores.
