Why go electric?
The switch to electric is easier than you think — and better for your wallet long term.
Better for the environment
Fully electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions. Over half the UK's electricity already comes from carbon-neutral sources.
Cheaper to run
Electric cars cost significantly less per mile than petrol or diesel. Tax incentives and low servicing costs add to the savings.
Quick & smooth to drive
Even modest EVs can do 0–62mph under 10 seconds. The ride is whisper-quiet and the instant torque is addictive.
Reliable with fewer parts
Our analysis of over 1.7 million MOT tests shows EVs and hybrids consistently achieve pass rates of 84% or higher.

What to check when buying used
An electric car is different from a petrol or diesel. Here's what to look out for before you commit.
- Battery range — confirm it suits your daily commute
- Charging cables included and in good condition
- Home charger installation options and costs
- Public charging compatibility (Type 2 / rapid)
- Full service history including software updates
- Battery lease — is it included or separate?
- High-voltage relay banks and power-steering pumps
- Brake and tyre condition (same as any used car)
Frequently asked questions
Can I get EV finance with bad credit?
Yes. A lower credit score may mean slightly higher interest rates or a larger deposit, but many people with poor credit are still approved. We assess each application individually and work with lenders experienced in all credit types.
Do I need to finance the car and battery separately?
Some lenders only finance the vehicle, meaning you'd lease the battery separately. This is worth budgeting for, though a separate battery lease does mean you're typically covered if the battery needs replacing.
Are there government grants for electric cars?
There are no grants currently available for used electric cars. For new EVs costing under £35,000, a government plug-in grant can cover up to 35% of the purchase price, capped at £2,500.
How long do EV batteries last?
Electric car batteries typically last 8 to 10 years. Refurbished replacements cost around £2,500 and new ones around £5,000. Many manufacturers offer battery warranties for extra peace of mind.
Will the battery range drop in winter?
Newer EV batteries are far less susceptible to cold weather than older models, and for typical UK winters, range reduction is unlikely to be a significant issue for most drivers.
