The Benefits Learn more about the benefits of driving electric Electric and hybrid cars offer greater efficiency and cleaner motoring than their purely fuel-driven counterparts. An electric vehicle (EV), in particular, is especially affordable to run and produces zero CO2 emissions. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is the next most efficient option, and it produces low emissions. Meanwhile, a full hybrid/mild hybrid vehicle (FHEV/MHEV) is more cost-effective to run than a pure petrol/diesel equivalent, and it produces fewer emissions.

How to charge Discover how you can charge your electric or hybrid vehicle An EV or a PHEV features a battery that requires charging. This can be done via a domestic three-pin power source, which is the slowest option. A dedicated home charger will provide faster results, as will one of many thousands of public access points located all around the UK – and indeed, the rest of the world.

Electric An EV isn’t fitted with a regular combustion engine. Instead, it features an electric motor (sometimes two motors) which is powered by a battery, which can be charged at home, at work or out and about. View Stock

Plug-in Hybrid PHEVs feature a combustion engine (usually always petrol), an electric motor and a battery; a combination that delivers power and efficiency in equal measure. A PHEV can run on fuel alone. It can also run solely on electric power – up to a point; this is known as ‘range’ or ‘electric range’. For instance, the Citroën C5 Aircross PHEV offers an electric range of up to 34 miles. As is the case with an EV, a PHEV’s battery requires manual charging (at home, at work or on the road).

Mild Hybrid An MHEV/FHEV also features a combustion engine, an electric motor and a battery. Unlike a PHEV, it can’t run on electric power only. However (also unlike a PHEV), it is self-charging, which occurs regeneratively during braking and/or cruising. View Stock

FAQs

Have we answered all of your questions? If not, please check our FAQs below – and of course, you’re always welcome to contact our Durham team, who will be only too glad to assist you.

How much does it cost to charge an electric car?

This will depend on the make, model and battery size. At the time of writing, the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense, for example, costs roughly £13.50 to reach an 80-percent charge (from 20 percent-charged) using 50kW rapid charging.

How long does charging take?

Again, this will depend on the make and model of the car, its battery size and the way in which you charge it. For instance, the MG5 EV, using 50kW rapid charging, takes approximately 36 minutes to achieve an 80 percent charge (from 20 percent charge).

Are all electric cars automatic?

The vast majority of EVs are automatic (for example, no Citroën, DS or MG EVs feature manual transmission) – this is because an EV lacks a clutch, gears and a gearbox.

Are any of your electric cars available with Motability?

Absolutely. The Citroën C5 Aircross EV, the DS3 Crossback E-TENSE and the MG HS PHEV are just some of the electric and hybrid cars available through Motability at Croxdale.

Financial Disclosure

Croxdale Service Station Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010).

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Croxdale Service Station Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders will pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
