The result is a line-up of state-of-the-art vehicles which help to cut global carbon emissions, and which provide a unique driving experience that simply cannot be matched by cars with a combustion engine.

With both electric and hybrid options available, you can choose the solution that suits you best.

The Benefits to You. Choosing an electric or hybrid car has many benefits, not only to the environment, but also to you as a driver. The reduced CO2 and NOx emissions produced by these vehicles means better air quality for everyone, while the near-silent performance of electric models means less noise pollution. Behind the wheel, this translates as a smooth, serene drive, enabling you to chat easily or enjoy your favourite music without the interruption of engine noise. Electric and hybrid cars are also cheaper to run and maintain than other vehicles. The cost of electricity is a fraction of the cost of fuel, meaning huge annual savings for EV drivers and significant reductions in costs for PHEV and hybrid drivers. With fewer moving parts under the bonnet too, EVs are typically cheaper to service. Electric and hybrid vehicles have a reputation for being expensive to buy, but with government incentives, decreasing manufacturing costs, and flexible finance plans available, they are actually very affordable.

Plug-in hybrid Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) offer the best of both worlds: they are fitted with a combustion engine and have a large battery and electric motor to provide zero-emissions power when desired. These vehicles can typically travel up to 60km on electric power alone, and the battery must be connected to an electrical source in order to charge.

Hybrid A hybrid vehicle is powered primarily by a combustion engine, and features a small battery and electric motor, which provide support. Technology such as regenerative braking charges the battery, meaning there’s no need to plug in, and the electric motor boosts power during acceleration. These vehicles may only go a very short distance – no more than 5km – on electric-only power.

Electric Fully electric vehicles (EVs) replace the traditional combustion engine with a large battery pack and either one or two electric motors. Many EVs can achieve a range of 150-450km on a single charge, making them great for everyday journeys, and all must be plugged into an electrical power source in order to charge.

How long does it take to charge an electric or hybrid car?

Close

Charge times depend on several factors, including the make and model of the car, whether it’s a PHEV or electric car, and the type of charging point used.
