Key considerations for buying an electric or hybrid car

When considering the purchase of an electric or hybrid car, it's important to keep several essential factors in mind:

• Range: Ensure the vehicle's range on a single charge or combined range for hybrids aligns with your daily commuting and travel requirements.
• Charging infrastructure: Evaluate the availability of charging stations in your area and consider installing a home charging station for added convenience. For more details on charging options, visit the Electric Vehicle Councils's website here.
• Charging Time: Understand the time needed for a full battery recharge. Different charging levels (Level 1, Level 2, DC fast charging) offer varying speeds, so tailor your choices according to your charging needs.
• Financial Incentives: Research available incentives such as tax credits and rebates to lower the overall cost of ownership.
• Maintenance Costs: While electric vehicles typicaly boast lower maintenance expenses due to fewer moving parts, be aware of any specific requirements for battery maintenance.
