If you’re interested in new electric cars for sale, then rest assured knowing you’ve come to the best place. At Arnold Clark we are proud to be leading the charge towards an electric future. It has never been easier to make the switch with such a wide variety of new electric cars available to suit your lifestyle and budget.
According to The Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT), in 2024, the registration of new Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) increased by 21.4%, compared to the decline in registrations of new ICE counterparts, which for petrol vehicles decreased by -4.4% and diesel -13.6%. The time to go electric is now, let Arnold Clark facilitate the switch for you.
Buying a new electric car now is worth it for multiple reasons:
Although the ICE ban has been delayed until 2035, it's something that consumers and dealers must think about.
Make the switch to electric today and avoid the added stress when you no longer have a choice.
Futureproof yourself by getting used to BEVs, ULEZs and LEZs sooner rather than later would be our best advice.
When you choose a new electric car, you can be confident in the fact that you are taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint. This is because driving an EV for just one year can save 1.5 million grams of CO2. (EDF Energy, 2025)
In most cases, buying a new electric car can reduce your overall running costs. No more fuel pump prices, no more oil changes and no more gearbox component wear and tear. Overall, EVs have fewer moving parts when compared to ICE vehicles. (Traffic Scotland, 2025)
Additionally, like with all cars registered as new, you won’t have to have an MOT carried out until your BEV is over three years old. Another reason why new electric cars are worth buying.
Over the last decade, BEV technology has significantly progressed and improved. This includes battery capacity and range. The average range of an electric car in 2023 was 236 miles*, with many EVs now achieving over 300 miles* on a single charge. Range anxiety is becoming a thing of the past!

For individuals and businesses, there are still EV offers and incentives which you can apply for and benefit from, including electric car grants for business fleets and incentives for the disposal of non-compliant vehicles.

Another reason to buy new electric cars is that you become a part of a community of like-minded individuals who have also made the switch to BEVs. You’ll find a lot of these communities online, where members share helpful EV tips and tricks. Seeking out others who have made the switch can also help you feel more confident and supported in your decision.

A fully electric vehicle is powered by an electric motor and battery. EVs do not use traditional fuel like Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) or hybrid cars. An electric car can only be charged by plugging it in.
You can calculate the time it takes to charge an electric car by dividing the battery size by the rate of charge. The time it takes to charge an electric car depends on a number of variables including the make, model, battery size and type of charger. Usually, the larger the battery capacity of the car, the longer it takes to charge.
Fully electric cars do not have a manual gearbox meaning they are almost always automatic due to their single-speed transmission.
BEV cars are electric only, meaning that they cannot and will not run on petrol. The only thing that can power an EV is electricity which comes from a charger.
