Which Electric Car Should I Buy?
Since there is so much choice, it may be daunting to try and narrow down which electric car model to buy.
Considering the following factors may help you narrow down your search.
City Drivers
If you live in a city, you may want a smaller EV. Smaller EVs have smaller batteries, which means they have a smaller range – but if you live in a city where you don’t need to drive as far, a small car could suit you.
Large Family
Having a family means your car gets a lot of use – you’ll need ample boot space and a decent range.
If you have three or more children, you may want a people carrier. There are a range of seven-seater electric cars that could suit your needs.
Longer Range Vehicles
If you have a longer commute to work, or you find yourself driving longer distances often, you don’t want to be caught short. Choosing a vehicle with a longer range would mean you wouldn’t have to stop so frequently to charge.
EV on a Budget
If you don’t have the financial means to splash on an EV, there are affordable options out there.
