CAMERONS VOLVO PERTH · ELECTRIC DRIVING
Drivers in Perth and Perthshire could save up to £600 a year on fuel costs by switching to an electric car, according to figures supplied by the Electric Car Scheme.*
Discover whether electric driving suits your lifestyle at the Volvo Selekt Approved Used Car Sale Event, running from Monday 12 October to Monday 26 October 2026 at Camerons Volvo Perth on Arran Road.
Choosing your next car means thinking about more than the purchase price. Charging, fuel, servicing and your daily journeys all influence the overall cost of ownership. For drivers considering an electric car, particularly those able to charge at home, there may be opportunities to reduce everyday running costs.
“If you’re considering purchasing a used electric or hybrid car, check out our Selekt Approved Used Car Sale Event, taking place from Monday 12 October to Monday 26 October.”

01 · RUNNING COSTS
The supplied Electric Car Scheme comparison estimates annual charging costs of £630 for an electric car covering 10,000 miles, compared with £1,230 in fuel costs for a petrol car travelling the same distance.*

Actual savings depend on the vehicles compared, mileage, efficiency, electricity tariff, fuel prices and the balance between home and public charging. This is an illustrative comparison, not a guaranteed saving or a comparison of total ownership costs.
02 · MAINTENANCE
Fully electric cars have fewer moving parts in their powertrain than petrol or diesel cars. They also use regenerative braking to recover energy when slowing down, which can reduce reliance on the conventional brakes and help reduce brake wear.
Electric cars still need regular servicing and checks, including attention to tyres, brakes and other components. Maintenance costs vary by model, condition and use, so our team can explain the requirements of the Volvo you are considering.
03 · APPROVED USED CHOICE
A used electric car gives you another route into electric driving. Exploring approved used stock lets you compare available models, equipment and prices before deciding what suits your budget and lifestyle.
Volvo Selekt Approved Used cars undergo comprehensive checks before sale. Our Perth team can explain the preparation, vehicle history and applicable benefits of each car, and help you compare electric and hybrid options.
