What is an EV?

An electric vehicle (EV) is a car that runs entirely or partially on electric power, rather than using a conventional petrol or diesel engine. Fully electric vehicles are powered by rechargeable batteries and produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them a cleaner and more sustainable choice for UK drivers. With growing charging infrastructure, government incentives, and advances in battery technology, EVs are becoming an increasingly practical and popular option across the country.

What is a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle?

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) combines a petrol or diesel engine with a rechargeable electric battery. This means you can drive short distances using electric power only—ideal for city journeys—while the engine provides backup for longer trips. You can plug in the battery at home or at a public charging point, helping reduce fuel use, emissions, and running costs.

Electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel, and EVs have fewer moving parts—meaning less maintenance and lower servicing costs over time.

Government Incentives

You may be eligible for savings such as the Plug-in Car Grant (for qualifying vehicles), reduced road tax, and lower company car tax rates for business drivers

Cleaner, Greener Driving

EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, and PHEVs significantly reduce emissions when driven in electric mode—helping to improve air quality and reduce your carbon footprint.

Accessible Charging

Charging your vehicle is simple and increasingly convenient. You can charge at home overnight, at work, or on the go with access to over 50,000 public charge points across the UK—including rapid chargers for quicker top-ups.
