Probably one of the first electric car questions that comes to any potential owner’s mind is whether the car is going to work for you.

The answer is most likely to be a yes! Electric vehicles have come a long way in recent years. Now available as sleek city cars, performance-based sport cars, reliable crossovers, and SUVs - there is a much-varied choice to hopefully suit your requirements.

There are three types of electric vehicles available, including battery electric (BEV), hybrid electric (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles. All-electric vehicles use only electricity to power the motor, while hybrid electric vehicles have both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can run on electricity or gasoline, depending on the driving conditions.

Yes! You’ll save on fuel and maintenance costs. We’ve compared costs for petrol, diesel and electric so you can see the difference.

This depends on the vehicle and the on-board charger. We’ve put together an explainer article to help you make sense of the options.

The UK’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure is continually growing to meet the needs of EV drivers. At the end of May 2024, there were 62,536 electric vehicle charging points across the UK at 32,992 charging locations. This represents a year-on-year increase of 43%. 

Charging time for an EV varies depending on the battery capacity and the charging method. Typically, it takes around 30 minutes to an hour to charge an EV to 80% capacity using a public fast charger. A full charge using a regular household outlet can take several hours, which people tend leave on overnight. Ask our sales teams for more information on the vehicle model you are interested in.

The range of an electric vehicle depends on the battery size and the driving conditions. Generally, modern EVs have a range of 100-300 miles on a single charge, but this can vary depending on factors such as temperature, driving speed, and terrain. Ask our sales teams for more information on the vehicle model you are interested in or check out our guide on how to increase your electric car range. 

EVs generally require less maintenance than gasoline-powered cars, as they have fewer moving parts and do not require oil changes or other routine maintenance. However, the battery pack may need to be replaced eventually after approximately 8-10 years and pricing will depend on the model.

Of course! The EV switchover in 2035 will mean only electric vehicles will be manufactured, so now is as good a time as any to make the change and begin your electric journey.
