So, What About An EV?



But ... What Is An EV?




Most of us are familiar with cars and vans powered by an internal combustion engine or 'ICE'.

But perhaps you're thinking about swapping from a petrol or diesel engine to an electric car or van and wondering 'what exactly is an EV'?

Don't worry, our guides to electric cars and vans will take you from the basics of how they work through to the options for buying or financing an EV.



  HOW EVs WORK


EVs are a lot simpler than ICE powered vehicles - a typical electric car or electric van has only around 90% of the mechanical components of a comparable vehicle powered by petrol or diesel.

But how does it all work?

Our guide explains the basics about electric cars and electric vans for you.

  RANGE ANXIETY


Electric cars and electric vans have one fundamental difference with ICE vehicles.

Instead of heading to a fuel station for a quick fill-up, electric cars and vans need to be recharged regularly, some for up to 8 hours.

Our guide explains what's involved in recharging an electric car or van, including both home and away charging.
