Electrified vehicles come in several different forms, each using electric power in a different way. Understanding the difference between hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles can help you find the option that best suits the way you drive.
If you're considering making the switch to a fully electric vehicle, you are likely to have a few questions. Here's a helpful breakdown of some common queries:
An electric vehicle (EV) is powered entirely by a battery, with no need for petrol or diesel; you charge the battery using an external power source. EVs produce zero harmful emissions, making them the greenest motoring option possible.
This depends on the model, but most modern EVs offer a range between 100 and 300 miles on a full charge. The Kia EV6 (RWD variant), for instance, offers a range of up to 361 miles.
You can charge an EV at home using a standard three-pin socket or a dedicated wallbox charger – or one of thousands of UK-wide public charging stations. Many stations now offer fast-charging options, reducing wait times.
Charging time varies based on the charger type. A home wallbox typically takes six to eight hours. Fast chargers at public stations can recharge your EV in as little as 30 minutes for a substantial portion of the battery.
No, electric vehicles typically incur lower maintenance costs compared to petrol or diesel cars – this is thanks to fewer moving parts and no need for oil changes.
Yes, with the growing number of rapid chargers and high-range EVs, long-distance travel is becoming easier. Planning your route to include charging stops is recommended for stress-free journeys.
Yes, many electric vehicles, including models like the Kia EV9, are capable of towing. However, towing capacity varies by model, so check the Kia or Volvo specifications.
