You can charge at home using a domestic socket or specially fitted wallbox, or at one of the many public charging points located across the UK.
A fully electric car will cost approximately 2-4p per mile to run. In comparison, a petrol vehicle may cost between 23p and 89p per mile.
Charging times depend on the make and model you choose, as well as the powertrain, charging point, and more. Fully electric vehicles need longer to charge than plug-in hybrids, and charging at a DC rapid charger takes significantly less time than using a home wallbox.
