In 2020, CO2 concentrations were the highest recorded in human history, according to WWF Greece. The EU has already acknowledged this and set a goal to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger vehicles by 40% by 2030 and achieve zero emissions by 2050! Tackling the effects of climate change is urgent, which is why the EU advocates for the use of hybrid and electric vehicles. We could only contribute to this by making it easier for you to acquire a "green" vehicle!

If you need a car for your travels, a plug-in hybrid (hyperlink to our plug-ins) or electric vehicle (hyperlink to our electric vehicles) is the best choice for the environment and for you, as the benefits are many!

Plug-in Hybrids are known as "externally rechargeable" hybrids, commonly referred to as plug-in hybrids. They combine two technologies to power the vehicle: an internal combustion engine (gasoline or diesel) and an electric motor!

With a plug-in hybrid vehicle, you save money because:

• You have reduced fuel expenses. The internal combustion engine is used during travel, often in combination with the electric motor, significantly reducing fuel consumption.
• You save money as the vehicle is designed to save or even regenerate energy in specific conditions (e.g., startup, braking, idling, coasting, etc.).
• You are exempt from road tax and have a reduced registration fee.
• You have access to "green" zones.

You enjoy autonomy because:

• In many cases, you can drive up to 60 km using only electric energy. Therefore, within the city, you can drive purely electrically.
• You decide whether to drive on electricity or gasoline/diesel.
• You can charge your car at any time anywhere: at home during the night, via a wallbox in the parking lot or garage, at your workplace, or at public charging stations.

You can enjoy:

• Impressive performance, as the electric motor and thermal engine combined produce a high horsepower output!
• Comfortable and quiet driving, with reduced cabin noise. According to the World Health Organization, low noise levels have positive effects on the driver’s health by reducing stress.

With an electric vehicle, you move economically because:

• You pay less, as electricity is cheaper than diesel or gasoline, with an average cost of less than 1€ per 100 km.
• You save money since electric vehicles can be designed to self-charge during braking (regenerative braking), thus improving energy efficiency.
• You are exempt from road tax and luxury tax.
• You only need service once a year.
• Maintenance is cheaper since there are no mechanical parts like ignition systems, pistons, valves, or camshafts to replace or maintain, as they simply don’t exist!

Additionally, you benefit from:

• Access to low-emission zones.
• Free parking privileges.

While driving, you experience:

• A large range. The latest electric vehicles offer a realistic range of 200-500 km!
• Absolute quiet driving, enjoying crystal-clear music as they are completely silent!
• Easier driving with quick acceleration and deceleration with just one pedal!

With both options, you are proven to protect the environment by:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) and improving air quality.
• Lowering energy consumption.
• Reducing noise pollution, especially in cities.

The climate crisis is a challenge that concerns us all, and together, we can achieve change!

At FlexCar, by investing in green mobility and aiming to reduce our environmental footprint, we know that an electric or plug-in hybrid car is always better for the environment and your wallet!

That’s why we make it easy for you to acquire the green vehicle that suits you by choosing from our growing fleet of eco-friendly vehicles.
