You can calculate the time it takes to charge an electric car by dividing the battery size by the rate of charge. The time it takes to charge an electric car depends on a number of variables including the make, model, battery size and type of charger. Usually the larger the battery capacity of the car, the longer it takes to charge.

Hybrid cars use both electric and combustion motors. Pure hybrids charge automatically through a combination of regenerative braking and an internal combustion engine, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) can be charged by plugging them in. A fully electric vehicle only has an electric motor and does not use traditional fuels, and will only charge up when it’s plugged in.

Fully electric cars do not have a manual gearbox meaning they are almost always automatic due to their single-speed transmission. However, with hybrid electric vehicles manual gearboxes are available.

Costs will vary depending on the provider but many chargers have costs associated, you can find out more information on electric car charging.

You can charge your car with the public charging network which now has over 30,000 public chargers in over 11,000 locations. There are now more charging points in the UK than petrol stations. Find out more about electric car charging.

BEV cars (Battery Electric Vehicles) are electric only. Plug-in hybrid, self-charging-hybrid and mild hybrid cars all run on a combination of combustion engines and electric motors. This means they can be powered by battery or fuel such as petrol.
