7 reasons why you should get an EV in 2025

Considering going electric, but still not sure? With more EV models hitting showrooms, leaps in battery technology, and increasingly driver-friendly infrastructure, this year is shaping up to give you the best of what electric driving has to offer - and here are seven reasons why 2025 might just be your perfect time to plug in.

One major hurdle for early EV adopters was the limited choice. However, manufacturers across the board are rolling out new electric cars for 2025 - in every shape and size. That means you’ll likely find something that suits your budget, lifestyle, and personal taste - whether it’s a compact runaround or a spacious family SUV.

Plus, with more competition, you’re set to see more innovative features and competitive prices, making the switch feel a whole lot more accessible.

If you’ve been worried about range or charging times, 2025 may put those fears to rest. A fresh wave of battery advancements promises longer distances on a single charge and quicker top-ups when you do need to stop. Not only does this mean fewer pit stops on long trips, but it also improves overall battery health, helping your car maintain a higher capacity over the years.

In essence, you’ll be buying into an era where EV range becomes less of a buzzword and more of a distant memory.

Nothing derails an EV adventure like the fear of not finding a charger. The good news? By 2025, the charging network will be significantly more robust:

• Rapid chargers will be more common, letting you get back on the road sooner.
• Consolidated payment systems and apps, like the Electroverse, will take the hassle out of multiple sign-ups.
• Rural coverage will likely expand, so you’re not restricted to charging around big cities.

Put simply, fuelling your electric car will become as straightforward as filling up with petrol - minus the fumes and noise. And with the Electroverse, your public charging life can be made easier with its one-stop-shop approach to charging.

As governments and local authorities continue to promote lower emissions, 2025 could see new or extended financial incentives for EV drivers. Whether it’s Grants, a reduction in road tax, salary sacrifice schemes through your employer, or exemptions from ever-growing city congestion charges, these perks can make a tangible difference to your monthly outgoings.

If you’re not interested in a brand-new model, you’re in luck - 2025 will bring a wider used EV market than ever before. Early adopters who bought in 2020 or 2021 may well be trading up to newer tech, meaning their older models - often with plenty of battery life still in them - will trickle down into the second-hand space.

For you, that translates to more variety and lower prices, alongside the reassurance that EV batteries tend to hold capacity far better than many people originally feared.

By 2025, EV ownership won’t be about figuring things out as you go. You’ll have an entire EV ecosystem in place, from dedicated service centres that know electric drivetrains inside and out, to insurers that understand the nuances of battery cover.

EV leasing and financing options are also becoming more readily available, allowing you to tailor a payment plan that suits your life - perfect if you crave the freedom of upgrading your car every few years to the latest, greatest battery tech. Not to mention, so many more companies are joining EV salary sacrifice schemes, providing their employees with top-of-the-range EVs.

With cleaner air targets on the rise, many cities are tightening restrictions on older petrol and diesel vehicles. By making the jump to electric in 2025, you can stay ahead of the game, sidestepping potential fees or bans on combustion engines.

There’s also a solid chance your EV will retain higher resale value as electrification becomes the standard.

Between a flood of new models, big strides in battery tech, a friendlier charging network, and tempting financial incentives, 2025 stands out as a pivotal year for going electric. The EV market is maturing - offering choice, reliability, and the infrastructure you need to feel comfortable taking the leap.

Whether you’re eyeing a brand-new machine or waiting for a gently used gem, there’s never been a better time to jump aboard the electric wave.

So why wait? Explore the evolving world of EVs, ask questions, and see how a future-focused ride could transform your daily commute. You might find that 2025 is the year your journey goes from “maybe someday” to “all charged and ready to roll.”
