If you are
looking for buying a second hand car in New Zealand, there are heap of options
to choose from. One most important before purchasing is consideration of mode
of fuel on which car will work- fuel, electricity or supportive to both
variants. Both variants has own benefits and shortcomings. Electric vehicles
are coming into mainstream with giving many benefits to environment and carbon
footprint.
Environmental impact of Electric vehicles
When we count environmental benefits, electric vehicles excel
the list. They create 80% fewer CO2 emissions compared to petrol cars, making
them a great option if you are looking for ways to do your bit for the planet.
Another point to consider is 80% of NZ’s electricity comes from renewable
sources, so charging your electric car here is no issue. If a pure electric
vehicle isn’t an option, a hybrid is still a good way to reduce your carbon
footprint, as they have both electric and fuel engines gives you a chance to
switch between either options.
Pricing factor
When you are searching for car for sale, then computation is
a big factor. You must have worked prior on your spending budget. If we watch
the aspect of comparison then petrol cars are generally more affordable than
electric cars. Electric cars have more complicated technology than petrol ones.
If you have a tight budget but your wish is stringed to electric one, then you
must go for second hand electric car in New Zealand. Used hybrid cars can also
be a perfect choice within your budget range.
Running
Cost>> Fuel vs Power
Pure electric cars are the cheapest option with a planned way
if charging. Hybrid cars running cost lies in between electric and petrol one.
Petrol cars will hit your pocket hard but still it is most preferable by large
number of car users.
Maintenance cost
If you are worrying about the regular maintenance cost of
electric cars then not to worry as they require less cost compared to
combustion engines. This is because they have much fewer moving parts to
service. However, if your electric vehicle does break down and need parts, this
may be more expensive to deal with than a regular petrol car, as parts are
harder to source. Hybrids have similar general maintenance costs to petrol
cars, as they still share a lot of similarities.
Lifestyle
Electric vehicles are perfect for your daily commuting to
office or cover short drives within city, but for commercial uses and long runs
petrol vehicles are still in top of the race. Hybrid car is emerging as best
choice for maintaining daily lifestyle and also for commuting some local
destinations on weekend.
