Steady access to charging.

The vast majority of electric car owners charge at home overnight for maximum convenience. While you can plug into a standard three-pin socket using the supplied cable, this is the slowest method. For a faster, more efficient charge, installing a dedicated domestic wallbox will considerably cut down your charging times.

Occasional access to charging.

If you drive to work, it’s quite possible that you’re allowed to charge your vehicle at your workplace. Again, you can do so via a three-pin power supply or – if your employer is on the ball – by using a dedicated fast-charging unit.

Reliant on public charging

Did you know that there are more than 42,500 public charging points located across the UK and more are being added all the time? This means there’s no need for range anxiety (the fear of running out of electric power).

How far do you drive daily?

When considering an electric vehicle, it is worth asking yourself: how far do you actually drive on a daily basis? While EVs have a finite range on a single charge, the exact same is true for a tank of petrol or diesel. The only real difference is where and when you choose to top up. With the average electric car now comfortably achieving a range of well over 200 miles and many premium models exceeding 300 miles on a single charge daily commuting is effortless. By thinking smart and utilizing the rapidly expanding charging network for longer journeys, you can enjoy absolute confidence on the road knowing you will never be without power.

Short Trips

If you typically drive around 30 miles a day a standard round-trip commute to work or a quick school run an electric car handles this effortlessly. In fact, based on the average EV range, you would only need to plug your car in once a week to keep your daily routine running smoothly.

Medium Trips

A medium-length journey of between 100 and 150 miles is well within the single-charge capability of almost every modern EV on the market. You can set off with a full battery and reach your destination with range to spare. If you do want a quick top-up while grabbing a coffee, a public rapid charger will easily add 100 miles of range in just 20 to 30 minutes.

Long Trips

Planning a cross-country road trip is simpler than ever. Before setting off with a fully charged battery, a quick look at your car’s navigation system or a charging app will highlight the nearest public connectors along your route. With over 119,000 public chargers across the UK including a rapidly growing network of ultra-rapid motorway hubs planning a 20-minute pit stop to stretch your legs and fast-charge your battery fits seamlessly into any long journey.
