Drive-Green

We are really excited to see what 2025 holds for Drive Green and the EV industry.🚗 2024 was an excellent year for us, with us winning the 2 biggest awards in the motor trade, as well as breaking sales records once again. 🏆🎉 The Drive Green team is the best it has ever been - everyone is great - lovely people and brilliant at their jobs. We have adapted the business and our strategies to suit the newly evolved EV marketplace, to ensure that we are super competitive and still the best place to go if you are looking to buy a used EV. 😊 We predict EV demand will remain very strong again this year, and we feel we super ready to help as many people as possible make the switch to electric driving. If you are thinking about making the switch in 2025 be sure to get in touch with us at Drive Green to get our multi-awards winning specialist help and advice to help make sure you get the right EV for you. #electricvehicle #ev #zeroemissionvehicle #batteryelectricvehicle #sustainibility #sustainabletransport #carsofthefuture #futureoftransport #DriveGreen #DriveGreenUk #Greenliving #sustainablelifestyle #zeroemissions #Electriccars #ecoliving #greenlifestyle #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #reuse #zerowaste #savetheplanet #gogreen #bethechange

As we look into a new year, where we very much hope that the world will make better progress toward sustainability and protecting the environment, I think this passage from David Mitchell's 'The Bone Clocks' (2014) is still really apt with where we are currently still taking things: 'Grieve for the regions we dead landed, the ice caps we melted, the Gulf Stream we redirected, the rivers we drained, the coasts we flooded, the lakes we choked with crap, the seas we killed, the species we drive to extinction, the pollinators we wiped out, the oil we squandered, the drugs we rendered impotent, the comforting liars we voted into office - all so we didn't have to change our cosy lifestyles. My Generation were diners stuffing ourselves senseless at the Restaurant of Earth's Riches, knowing - while denying - that we'd be doing a runner, and leaving our grandchildren a tab that can never be paid.' Hopefully 2025 will see some really significant changes to help protect, preserve and repair the planet. ♻️ It starts with us (businesses and individuals) to make the changes we can to be more sustainable, and then it moves on to us all trying to spread the word and hopefully inspiring others (and eventually everyone) to be greener. 🌳 💚 #electricvehicle #ev #zeroemissionvehicle #batteryelectricvehicle #sustainibility #sustainabletransport #carsofthefuture #futureoftransport #DriveGreen #DriveGreenUk #Greenliving #sustainablelifestyle #zeroemissions #Electriccars #ecoliving #greenlifestyle #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #reuse #zerowaste #savetheplanet #gogreen #bethechange

Before we say goodbye to 2024, we wanted to say a massive thank you to our wonderful team, customers, suppliers, partners and everyone else that has supported us this year! 🎉 This year has been our busiest ever, with so many people now switching to electric driving 😀 - very encouraging. 🏆 Have won a few big industry awards again, which has been an ideal end to the year, as it is great to see our efforts are still being recognised. We can't wait to see what 2025 brings and help so many more people make the switch. Thank you all and we hope you have a nice, relaxing, (and FUN!) end to the year! 🎄

Just a throwback to this year's Car Dealer awards, where we were privileged to win the Used EV Dealership of the year award. 🏆 Here is a video of the Car Dealer Awards 2024, with a short interview with our founder Richard. Put together by Car Dealer Magazine, hopefully it reflects what a brilliant event this was, and how thrilled we are to have won the title of EV Dealership of the year. 🎉 Hopefully we may even win this award again in 2025. 🤞 #electricvehicle #ev #zeroemissionvehicle #batteryelectricvehicle #sustainibility #sustainabletransport #carsofthefuture #futureoftransport #DriveGreen #DriveGreenUk #Greenliving #sustainablelifestyle #zeroemissions #Electriccars #ecoliving #greenlifestyle #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #reuse #zerowaste #savetheplanet #gogreen #bethechange #MTAAwards24 #CarDealerAwards #CarDealerMagazine

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU SAVE BY DRIVING AN EV? Although the main reason for driving an EV for us has always been the environmental benefits, as the market moves more into the mainstream, the potential financial savings from owning an EV is a bigger motivator for the mainstream consumer we are seeing more and more. On our website we have a cost savings calculator to help you see how much you can potentially save, compared to your current car, or an alternative ICE car you might be looking to buy. https://loom.ly/ntBSDH8 Particularly if you can charge at home and you consider that you can get an EV tariff that means you can charge your car for as little as £0.07p per kWh, that savings are massive. (The efficiency figures for each EV are in the car's listings data on our website also.) Despite the high cost of electricity, EV remain far cheaper cars to run, which hopefully will help to encourage more people to make the switch to greener driving. #electricvehicle #ev #zeroemissionvehicle #batteryelectricvehicle #sustainibility #sustainabletransport #carsofthefuture #futureoftransport #DriveGreen #DriveGreenUk #Greenliving #sustainablelifestyle #zeroemissions #Electriccars #ecoliving #greenlifestyle #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #reuse #zerowaste #savetheplanet #gogreen #bethechange

One of our biggest green initiatives for this year has been to reduce the carbon cost of our vehicle deliveries. This has not been an easy task, as car transporters are currently exclusively diesel, and as a result it is currently almost impossible in some instances to get vehicles delivered any other way. Deliveries remain the biggest carbon cost of our business. Historically we have used tree planting to offset this cost, however, we much prefer to remove or reduce, rather than offset. Thanks to the hard work of our team we have now managed to cut the carbon cost of our deliveries this year by over half 😀💪. We will continue to try and reduce the amount of polluting deliveries we have inbound, and hopefully next year we get to an even bigger carbon reduction from the transport side of the business. Hopefully other businesses within motortrade will follow our example as there is also cost saving that can be made, and they will also choose to try and get as many of their EVs delivered without the use of a diesel transporter. https://loom.ly/UHJd_VY #electricvehicle #ev #zeroemissionvehicle #batteryelectricvehicle #sustainibility #sustainabletransport #carsofthefuture #futureoftransport #DriveGreen #DriveGreenUk #Greenliving #sustainablelifestyle #zeroemissions #Electriccars #ecoliving #greenlifestyle #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #reuse #zerowaste #savetheplanet #gogreen #bethechange
