Type of Electric Vehicles Explained
Below, you can find a brief summary of each type of electric vehicle. We hope this helps you to understand what’s available, and which type of car will be right for you.
At Des Winks, we understand that you’ll want to be as informed as possible before making the decision to go electric. As such, we’ve answered some of the more frequently asked questions here – but feel free to contact us if you’d like to learn more.
How much does it cost to run an electric car?
A fully electric car typically costs 2-4p per mile to run. This is significantly cheaper than a petrol vehicle, which can cost anything from 23p to 89p per mile.
How long does charging take?
Charge times depend on your chosen model, whether it’s a fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle, and which type of charger you use. Charging therefore might take anything from 40 minutes to 12 hours.
Where can I charge?
Charging can be completed at home using a domestic socket or specially fitted wallbox, or at one of the many public charging points throughout the UK.
