    Fully Electric Fully Electric vehicles use only electric power and feature a high-capacity lithium-ion battery. They can be charged using a home charging unit or a public charging point which are available at petrol stations and supermarkets.
    Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) A Plug-in Hybrid vehicle combines a battery powered motor with a more traditional combustion engine. These batteries provide a limited range of all-electric performance and can be charged at a public charging point, or using a home charging unit.
    Hybrid Self-charging Hybrid cars take advantage of innovative technology known as regenerative braking. This provides an electrical charge for the battery and helps improve the overall fuel efficiency and economical nature of the vehicle.
    Mild Hybrid (MHEV) Similar to a Plug-in Hybrid, a Mild Hybrid features a small battery pack which works alongside the regular 12V battery found in all combustion-engine vehicles. It can't drive on battery power alone, however the 48V system assists the engine and allows it to perform more economically with lower running costs.

    The benefits of buying an electric or hybrid vehicle

    There are many reasons to make the change from traditional fuel-powered engines to those featuring hybrid and electric engine technology. Firstly, you can take to the road knowing that the model you’re driving is having a better impact on the environment through fewer CO2 emissions. Plus, electric models are more efficient in their performance, with newer models improving the overall range achievable by the battery. There’s even the benefit of no road tax, while charging solutions at home and in public help you top up the overall charge quickly and affordably.
