Facts & Advantages

Electric cars are efficient, quiet and locally emission-free.

BETTER CARBON FOOTPRINT.
The carbon footprint of electric cars is significantly better than that of combustion engines – over their entire service life. This has been proven by numerous studies. The most important reason is that electric motors are more energy-efficient and do not emit a single gram of CO2 while you’re driving.

BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
Of course it’s true that energy is needed for battery production and that releases CO2. But electric cars recoup this energy during operation. A recent study shows that the CO2 balance is already equalised after about 30,000 kilometres – a super value with an assumed battery life of 250,000 kilometres!

NO POLLUTANTS? FANTASTIC!
Electric cars are not included in any pollutant class. That makes perfect sense because they don’t emit any pollutants. That means they can be driven everywhere without hesitation – even in the growing number of city-centre environmental zones. A clear advantage over all combustion engines.
