What is an Electric Car?
An electric car, (also known as an EV), uses an electric motor and a rechargeable battery pack for momentum. Unlike traditional petrol-powered cars, EVs don't have an internal combustion engine.
Why Choose a Škoda EV?
Excellent Value for Money
Škoda EVs offer excellent value for money, providing a high level of equipment at competitive.
Practical and Spacious
Škoda EVs are practical and spacious, making them suitable for everyday use and families.
Range and Charging
Škoda EVs boast strong ranges and support fast charging, minimising range anxiety.
Carbon Footprint
Choosing a Škoda EV contributes to a more sustainable future by reducing your carbon footprint.
What is a Hybrid Car?
A hybrid car combines a traditional petrol/diesel engine with an electric motor. These motors are powered by batteries that are recharged through regenerative braking (capturing energy normally lost during braking) and by the petrol engine.
Škoda hybrids offer the best of both worlds, combining fuel efficiency and reduced emissions with the convenience of a traditional combustion engine, making them a smart choice for those seeking a balance between practicality and sustainability.
Why Choose a Škoda Hybrid?
Best of Both Worlds
Škoda hybrids combine the fuel efficiency and reduced emissions of electric driving with the convenience and range of a traditional combustion engine.
Reduced Running Costs
By utilising both electric and petrol power, hybrids use significantly lower fuel consumption, leading to substantial savings on running costs.
Smoother and Quieter Driving
The electric motor assists the petrol engine, providing smoother acceleration and a quieter driving experience.
Environmental Responsibility
Choosing a hybrid vehicle helps reduce your carbon footprint and contributes to a more sustainable future by minimising your reliance on fossil fuels.
FAQs
A good first question and the answer is probably yes! As you read through these FAQs, you’ll see there are some things to consider before you commit to switching to an EV. For example, you’ll have to think about how and where you’ll charge it and the kinds of journeys you do on a regular basis, but most people can make it work.
At Henrys Škoda Glasgow, we’re here to help you navigate the transition to electric. Our team can answer your questions, guide you through the available EV models, and help you understand the practicalities of owning an electric vehicle.
We are heading to an electric future, and the products and UK charging infrastructure are evolving at pace. Let us help you explore whether going electric is right for you.
Choosing an EV is fundamentally no different from choosing any other vehicle. You need to consider practicality, reliability, your budget, and running costs, as well as things like specification, colour, and power.
Charging is, of course, the one big difference. Think about how far you usually drive in a day, week, or month, and whether you can charge at home or work, or if you’ll need to rely on the public charging infrastructure. There’s no right or wrong to this – you just need to understand the implications for your lifestyle.
At Henrys Škoda Glasgow, we can help make this decision easier. Our expert team will guide you through the options, from finding the right EV to understanding charging solutions and costs. Whether you're exploring the practicality of an EV or comparing models, we’re here to provide all the advice you need to make an informed choice.
Yes of course – it’s really important to do this and we’d recommend arranging a test drive at Henrys Škoda so you can experience the Enyaq or Elroq.
Yes of course! Like any Škoda car, it’s designed to be reliable and trustworthy. Of course, we’d always recommend you visit a Škoda retailer, which has specially trained high voltage technicians to keep your car in great working order.
If your EV battery is completely dead, you will not be able to drive your car.
Depending on the severity of the issue, it may require a battery replacement or other repairs.
EV batteries contain valuable materials like lithium and cobalt that can be recycled.
Manufacturers and recycling companies have processes in place to recover these materials and minimise environmental impact.
EVs offer numerous benefits, including zero emissions, reduced fuel costs, and a smooth, quiet driving experience. Government incentives, such as tax credits and rebates, can make EVs more affordable.
EV battery lifespan varies depending on factors like usage, charging habits, and environmental conditions. Most manufacturers offer warranties on their EV batteries, typically covering a significant portion of the battery's expected lifespan.
If your hybrid car battery dies, it'll need to be replaced or the car won't work properly. If you notice the car losing its efficiency or struggling to hold a charge, contact your nearest retailer as soon as possible to arrange a battery change.
A hybrid car is more fuel efficient and cost effective than a petrol vehicle. As the world quickly moves towards an electric future, a hybrid car is also a perfect green alternative to the traditional petrol engine, while simultaneously giving you far less range anxiety than an electric vehicle.
Due to the combination of a petrol engine and battery power, there's less wear and tear on a hybrid car's engine. Regenerative braking also reduces the wear on brakes, which lowers the need for maintenance, meaning your hybrid car may last longer than a petrol or diesel equivalent.
