Embracing endless electric possibilities with World EV Day
On Monday 9 September, we’re celebrating World EV Day and all the exciting possibilities that electric driving has to offer. The event was created with the purpose of raising global awareness and promoting and encouraging drivers to make the switch to electric vehicles.
Now entering its fifth year, World EV Day is the perfect opportunity to pay homage to the exciting new EVs that have been released during the year, reflect on how far car brands have come in their efforts to lower global carbon emissions and take a look at their progress.
World EV Day has made incredible progress over the last five years to impact companies, individuals, policymakers and global leaders to support and champion E-mobility in their own nations and across the world. And in 2024, the organisers will be asking these groups to #DriveChange as a sign of their continued commitment to create a decarbonised society.
Here at Budgen, we’re passionate about our existing extensive range of EVs and are excited to continue building our stock to fully embrace the future of sustainable driving. Let’s take a look at just some of the sensational EVs that are available for you to experience and secure today from our Shrewsbury and Telford dealerships!
