How An Electric Vehicle Can Save You Money

Aviva Car Insurance

We can all agree that now, more than ever, it’s important that we all try and do our best for the environment. Small changes can make a big impact.

One of the biggest moves towards a lower-carbon future is the use of electric cars instead of diesel and petrol. Electric cars have zero exhaust pipe emissions, so are extremely environmentally friendly.1

Take a look below as we break down how much you could save by switching to an electric car.
