Types Of Electric Vehicles

If you're thinking about moving away from a traditional petrol or diesel car, an EV is definitely worth considering.

Choosing the right electric vehicle is crucial for enhancing both your driving experience and overall satisfaction with vehicle ownership.

Businesses seeking to electrify their fleet have several options to choose from, with the most common including:

  • Electric Vehicle (EV)
  • Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)
  • Mild Hybrid (MHEV)
  • Hybrid (HEV)

How Do Electric Cars Work?

An all-electric vehicle is ideal for individuals who wish to eliminate their dependence on petrol and diesel entirely.

Modern electric cars come equipped with cutting-edge technology, including advanced, efficient batteries that deliver impressive charging times. Some newer electric vehicles can also achieve over 400 miles on a single charge!

Owning an electric vehicle comes with numerous advantages. Such as lower maintenance costs, lower long term running costs and much more! Electric vehicles advantages also include instant acceleration and a smooth, quiet driving experience, thanks to their advanced electric motors.

Electric vehicles (EVs) also have significantly fewer moving parts compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars. Which means lower maintenance requirements and fewer components that can wear out or break.

To charge your vehicle, you can either use a public charging station or choose the convenience of installing a home charging point.

We can also help you finance EV charging assets if you'd like to install a EV charger at your home.

Owning an electric vehicle offers numerous advantages. Electric car benefits include the following:

  • Lower Maintenance Costs
  • Zero-Emission
  • Option to charge at home (home charger required)
  • Instant Acceleration
  • Quiet Driving Experience
  • Business Tax Benefits
  • Government Grants
  • Exempt From Clean Air Zone Charges

How Do Plug-In Hybrids Work?

A PHEV is perfect for those who wish to experience the benefits of an electric car with the backing of a familiar engine.

Plug-in hybrid batteries provide a shorter all-electric range than EVs. However, they are still suitable for running errands and traveling short distances without relying on fuel.

Many PHEVs utilise regenerative braking - which captures energy that lost during braking, and uses it to recharge the battery.

To fully recharge your battery, you’ll need to plug your PHEV into an external power source. Fortunately, with the growing number of EV charging stations across the UK, this is becoming increasingly convenient.

A PHEV is perfect if you’re looking to dip your toe into electric driving. A plug-in hybrid offers several advantages, including:

  • No Range Anxiety
  • Fuel Economy
  • Reduced Emissions
  • Reduced Dependence On Fossil Fuels
  • Lower Operating Costs Compared To Traditional Vehicles
  • Usually Low Tax Ratings

How Do Mild Hybrids Work?

Lastly, if transitioning from a traditional petrol or diesel engine feels challenging, consider the mild hybrid as an alternative.

A mild hybrid is similar to a hybrid, however they differ slightly. A mild hybrid combines an internal combustion engine with a smaller battery & doesn't require external charging.

In contrast, a full hybrid features a larger electric motor that enables it to run solely on electric power. Albeit for limited distances and speeds, mind.

The key difference being that MHEVs cannot run exclusively on electric power. The battery is simply there to provide support for the petrol or diesel engine.

Similar to a HEV, mild hybrid vehicles offer several similar benefits:

  • Improved Fuel Economy
  • Lower emissions (compared to ICE)
  • No need to charge
  • A driving experience that feels familiar to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles
  • Acceleration boost
  • Often cheaper than MHEVs, PHEVs, and EVs
  • Regenerative braking

Are EVs Becoming More Popular?

In January 2024, the government launched a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate for car manufacturers. This required a minimum percentage of their sales to come from zero-emission vehicles.

The mandate targets 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans sold in Great Britain to be zero-emission by 2030.

Charging an electric vehicle has become far more convenient thanks to the growing number of public charging points. According to Zapmap, the UK's leading EV charging points app, there were 68,273 electric vehicle charging points across 35,230 locations in the UK by the end of August 2024. This marks a 41% increase in the number of public charging devices available since August 2023.
