But you might want to make the switch sooner than that, for three reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Resale value on your ICE car<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; As new restrictions come into place on ICE cars, demand will go down. If you\u2019re still holding on to your petrol car, the resale value may fall through the floor. Selling it over the next 12 months could mean you still get a decent sale price. If you wait too long, it\u2019s possible nobody will want to buy it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Government incentives<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Governments around the globe are making a big push toward decarbonisation, with incentives for buying and\/or charging EVs. Why not take advantage of these incentives while they\u2019re available? Once the uptake of EVs is high enough, governments will stop using the carrot and start using the stick \u2013 no more incentives, and penalties for manufacturers that import ICE cars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fuel prices<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Energy instability has pushed fuel prices to new highs. Even if the cost of petrol and diesel isn\u2019t at its peak, it remains a significant cost for most households and businesses. The cost of electricity hasn\u2019t risen nearly as much \u2013 and massive investment in sustainable energy should help the cost of renewable energy to keep coming down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>EVs for your business<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why not analyse the cost of switching your business vehicles to EVs? For cars, it might be battery electric or hybrid options. You might be eligible for incentives on the purchase or on installing chargers at your home or workplace.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you run a cost-benefit analysis, or let you know what subsidies might be available to you \u2013 just get in touch, we\u2019d love to talk to you about your business vehicles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric vehicles (EVs) are on the rise \u2013 we\u2019ll soon reach a tipping point where sales outnumber those of internal combustion engine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2955,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.10.4","language":"de","enabled_languages":["en","es","de","fr","ru"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"de":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"fr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ru":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6pDQoO6Plt7pKRn74Pnx2q-andrew-slifkin-537342-unsplash.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2954"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2954"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2998,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2954\/revisions\/2998"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapfinance.com.au\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
