Enquire nowBenefits of Electric Cars
The Range
Electric cars typically have a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge. This is sufficient for most UK drivers, as the average daily mileage is around 18 miles.
Charging Time
Electric car charging times vary depending on the charger's speed. Rapid chargers can charge a car to 80% in 20-60 minutes.
The Frequency of Driving
Most cars are parked 96% of the time, meaning there's sufficient opportunity to charge before any long trips.
The Cost
The average cost to run an electric car in the UK is 9p per mile, compared to 19p per mile for a petrol car. Electric car owners also save on road tax, further reducing their running costs.
Charging Port Availability
As of January 2024, the UK had 53,677 public electric vehicle charging ports available for electric car users.
The Speed
Electric cars can be very fast and can have impressive acceleration capabilities. Moreover, instant torque delivery eliminates 'petrol lag,' resulting in smooth and responsive driving experiences.
The Experience
Driving an electric car offers a quiet and enjoyable experience. They also produce significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than petrol or diesel cars, contributing to a cleaner environment.
Benefits of Hybrid Cars
Fuel Efficiency
Hybrids combine petrol engines with electric motors, improving fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles. This means lower fuel costs and reduced trips to the petrol station.
Reduced Emissions
By utilising electric power, hybrids emit fewer harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases than conventional cars, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Regenerative Braking
Hybrids capture energy during braking and store it in the battery, increasing overall efficiency and reducing reliance on the petrol engine.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
Electric motors provide instant torque, resulting in smooth and quiet acceleration, especially at low speeds.
Improved Performance
The combination of petrol and electric power results in increased horsepower and better overall performance compared to similar-sized petrol vehicles.
Government Incentives
Many governments offer incentives for purchasing hybrid vehicles making them more affordable.
Technological Advancement
Hybrid technology continues to evolve, with newer models offering better fuel economy, performance, and features.
There are two types of hybrids you will hear about. Self-charging hybrids (also known as full hybrids or e:HEVs) and Plug-in hybrids (also known as PHEVs).
Self-charging hybrids recharge their batteries through regenerative braking (capturing energy during deceleration). They don’t need to be plugged in to charge.
Plug-in hybrids have larger batteries that can be recharged by plugging them into an external charger. (They can also be charged through regenerative braking).
