What are the best electric cars to buy?
We’re getting closer to 2030, the date when the UK will see an end to the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. So, it’s understandable that you might be thinking about buying a new electric car.
In previous blogs, we’ve covered off a lot of the questions that you’re likely to have before you buy a new electric vehicle (EV), including:
- Why are electric cars better for the environment?
- What does it cost to charge an electric car?
- How far can you drive an electric car?
- How do you charge an electric car?
Armed with the answers to these questions, you’ll need to start thinking about which EV is best for you.
Plenty of lists have been put together about the “best” electric cars to buy. But different drivers have different needs, depending on how they use their car. So, it’s hard to say that one electric car is “better” than another.
As you’d expect, we’re a bit biased when it comes to what we think are the best EVs. So, rather than just tell you why we think our EVs are the best, here are our thoughts on what you should consider so that you can find the best electric car for you.
The main things to consider when choosing an electric car
There are some obvious factors that you should take into account before buying an EV, including:
- budget
- size and boot space
- comfort
- the distance you drive
- how you’ll charge your EV
But there will also be things specific to your own needs that you’ll need to think about.
Make sure you speak to an EV expert, so that all your questions are answered before you make a decision.
