Preparing for the future
Drivers do need to consider that electric vehicles may take some time to get used to driving, as well as needing a charging point in the home or a suitable place to charge the vehicle nearby. Electric vehicles may also not be suited to long haul journeys due to the time required for the vehicle to reach full charge.
How do electric vehicles work?
Electric vehicles don't have a combustion engine that's powered by diesel or petrol, they have fully electric chargeable batteries.
EVs receive energy from the battery, which is then converted into power by an electric motor. This power is used to drive the wheels of the vehicle.
