Electric Vehicles Explained

Featuring an all-electric range roughly between 182 and 188 miles*

As you’re undoubtedly aware, there are several types of electric vehicle available. Here, we explain differences between each.

Electric An electric or pure electric car (EV) has no combustion engine at all. It’s the cleanest type of vehicle, being powered by a high capacity battery and electric motor(s). These models need to be connected to an external charging point in order to charge. View Stock

Plug-in hybrid A plug-in hybrid or PHEV has both a combustion engine and a battery, which powers an electric motor. These vehicles are typically able to cover 30-40 miles on electric power alone, providing a greener alternative to other vehicles with a combustion engine. The battery must be connected to a charging point in order to charge. View Stock

Hybrid A hybrid or full hybrid has a combustion engine as its main source of power, but also features a small battery and electric motor. This assists the engine, enabling you to travel on electric power for limited distances and at low speeds. The battery on hybrid cars is charged by the vehicle’s engine and through regenerative braking, meaning there’s no need to plug in. View Stock

Mild hybrid A mild hybrid car works like a hybrid, but there is no capacity for all-electric motoring. The battery merely assists the engine, providing a boost to power, improving efficiency, and reducing emissions. Like full hybrids, there is no need to plug these cars in, as the battery is charged through regenerative braking. View Stock
