      Due to fully electric vehicles having zero tail pipe emissions, choosing to go electric can support decarbonisation targets.
 
        
  
    
          Reduced running costs
      
 
      
      As well as much lower costs to fuel a car with electricity compared to petrol or diesel, running costs can also be reduced due to the lower cost to service and maintain electrified vehicles as they have less moving parts.

          Frequently asked questions
      
 
  The electric range of an EV varies by make and model - published Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) figures start at around 120 miles but go up to more than 350 miles.
However, it’s important to remember that the actual range achieved during real-life driving is likely to be different to the published WLTP range and so careful consideration needs to be given to the specific model chosen.
If you are able to complete your regular journeys on a single charge, then the model chosen should be suitable for you. However, this does not mean that other models (with a lower range capability) are unsuitable, but that a bit more planning is required.
The time it takes to charge an EV depends on the speed of the charging unit and battery size (or how much electricity is needed), as well as the capability of the on-board charger (OBC) in the car, which varies by model.
EVs are still noticeably more expensive in terms of the upfront cost. However, you also need to take into account running costs, such as road tax, service and maintenance, and fuel costs. The overall running costs of an EV are lower than those of a petrol or diesel car.
