The range of an electric car varies depending on several factors like the size of the battery, the power output of the EV and weather conditions. Changes in the weather can affect the range of your EV because adverse weather conditions like ice, rain and snow mean you use more energy running things like heaters, demisters and windscreen wipers. In winter it also takes longer to heat up your vehicle, and darker mornings and evenings mean you will use your headlights for longer which all use more power. This means the range of your EV will differ depending on the climate and seasons, usually, your range increases in the summer months and decreases in the winter months.

The answer is Yes, and certainly as far as our health is concerned. Electric cars produce zero emissions from the tailpipe and significantly less emissions over their lifetime than traditional petrol or diesel powered cars. Additionally, many electric utility companies produce electricity using renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, which further reduces the environmental impact of electric cars.

It all depends on your individual, family or business needs and preferences. Some factors to consider when choosing an EV include the range of the vehicle, the size and style, available features and benefits, overall whole life costs, charge point availability and charging infrastructure near to your home and work and your individual thoughts and feelings on social responsibility and the environment. There are two big drivers in making the choice to switch to EV and they are usually overall cost savings and having a positive impact on our health and environment.
