Is an EV for you?

It depends on how you plan to use your vehicle.

The limited charging infrastructure means EVs simply aren’t practical for many people on longer journeys. They’re not for anyone who needs towing or serious off-road ability, either.

However, if you’re driving fewer than a couple of hundred kilometres a day and have access to off-street parking (for charging) they can be a great way to get around.

EVs are particularly well suited as a second vehicle, providing the comfort and value of a petrol or diesel car with the better environmental credentials and lower running costs of an EV.
