    Electric Vehicle (EV) Frequently Asked Questions

    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:

    What is an electric vehicle?

    Close

    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.

    How far can I drive on a single charge?

    Close

    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.

    How do I charge an electric vehicle?

    Close

    You can charge an EV at home using a standard three-pin socket or dedicated wallbox charger – or one of thousands of UK-wide public charging stations. Many stations now offer fast-charging options, reducing wait times.

    How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?

    Close

    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.

    Are electric vehicles more expensive to maintain?

    Close

    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.

    Can I drive an electric vehicle in cold weather?

    Close

    Yes, but cold weather can slightly reduce battery efficiency. However, most electric vehicles are designed to handle varying temperatures without significant issues.

    Do Electric Cars need an MOT?

    Close

    Yes, the same rules apply to all passenger cars i.e. an MOT is required once a car reaches three years of age. However, as an electric car has no internal combustion engine, there is no emissions test.

    Are there enough charging points in the UK?

    Close

    The UK has over 45,000 public charge points and is expanding rapidly. Plans are in place to ensure adequate infrastructure as EV adoption increases.

    Can I use an EV for long-distance travel?

    Close

    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.

    Can I tow with an electric vehicle?

    Close

    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.
