What is an electric car?
An electric car is run using a battery powering an electric motor. By charging the battery, you keep the electric motor topped up with enough power to keep the car moving. The batteries are usually tucked out of sight under the floors of an electric car.
Is it worth getting an electric car in 2024?
Electric cars are ideal for eco-drivers with short as well as long commutes depending on the charging infrastructure. However, their limited range and dependence on charging stations might make diesel and petrol cars a better fit for now, depending on your lifestyle. You get advantage of road tax exemption on your new EVs during the first year.
Is it cheaper to run an electric car?
Electric cars are cheaper to run due to low maintenance and running costs. As EVs are free from engines, you save on engine oil and parts over the longer run. As long as you have home charging facility, the charging cost should be lower as compared to running a petrol or diesel car.
How do you charge an electric car?
You plug your car into a mains socket and leave your car for an allotted amount of time to top up. Depending on the car, you can choose all the way from a three-pin plug at home, to an ultra-rapid charger at a public charging station. Read our guide: The Ultimate Guide to Charging an Electric Car.
