Glidepath to Green

Here at Snows, we want customers with a disability to enjoy the benefits of the electric revolution. Whether you wish to lease a self-charging hybrid, a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid or a super-economical electric vehicle, we have plenty of great options.

Electric Vehicle (EV) EVs are 100% electric which means they produce zero harmful emissions. They’re also the most affordable form of motor car to run, simply because it’s cheaper to top up an EV’s battery with electricity than it is to fill a regular car’s tank with fuel. Make an Enquiry

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) PHEVs are very fuel-efficient because they’re able to run on electricity for a certain amount of miles. They also produce considerably fewer emissions than conventional combustion-engined vehicles. Am I Eligible?

Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) While EVs and PHEVs require manual charging, HEVs offer self-charging convenience and are therefore a good entry point into the world of electrified motoring. View Motability Offers

Environment EVs produce zero CO2 and NOx emissions which means they’re very eco-friendly; PHEVs produce especially low CO2 emission figures; HEVs tend to be much greener than regular combustion-engined cars.

Running Costs EVs in particular are very cost-effective to run and maintain. It’s also worth bearing in mind that all EVs and PHEVs - and the vast majority of HEVs - are Clean Air Zone friendly. This means that if, for example, you drive through London, you won’t be required to pay the £12.50 ULEZ charge.

Performance A car with a hybrid or electric drivetrain can perform just as well as its conventional equivalent. This is partly due to an electric motor that delivers instant torque, thus enabling rapid acceleration.

Connectivity EVs and PHEVs can be charged at home, at work, and at one of several thousand UK-wide public chargepoints. If you choose an HEV, it charges itself via regenerative braking.

FAQs. Please view our frequently asked questions – if your query isn’t covered, don’t hesitate to contact your local Snows Motability team.

Can I get a home chargepoint on the Motability Scheme?

Yes. All EVs on Motability come with free installation of a standard home chargepoint.

Do I need to give my home chargepoint back at the end of my lease?

No. It’s yours to keep!

If I have a problem with my home chargepoint, what can I do?

If you experience any chargepoint issues, don’t hesitate to contact us.

What’s the difference between a tethered and untethered chargepoint?

A tethered chargepoint features a charging cable that’s permanently attached. With an untethered chargepoint, you need to connect your own charging cable.

Can I have a home chargepoint fitted AND get access to the bp pulse network?

No, it’s one or the other. If it’s not possible for you to have a home chargepoint installed, we’ll provide you with free access to the bp pulse network of public chargepoints.

Can I get a solar-compatible home chargepoint?

You can but you will need to pay for it yourself.
