You are responsible for any facilities to charge your car.
Not all electric vehicles come with home charging stations installed free-of-charge and although they all come with a charging cable, not all will come with a three-pin charging connection.
On average 60% of an electric vehicle’s charging time comes from home charging, 30% occurs at work, 7% destination charging and 3% is enroute charging.
If you have any questions about these, please check with your sales executive or refer to the manufacturer’s website.
To ensure you have all the information needed to make informed decisions, and keep your vehicle running smoothly, here is a brief summary of the key facts:
Charging
It is most convenient to charge an electric car where it is parked anyway (which is about 95% of the time).
The most common place for this is at home followed by workplace charging.
On average 60% of an electric vehicle’s charging time comes from home charging, 30% occurs at work, 7% destination charging and 3% is enroute charging.
For convenience you should ensure that you have the space and ability to facilitate home charging.
Electric Range
Most commuters drive less than 30 miles to work and most BEVs nowadays have real ranges of more than 200 miles.
It is vital that you ensure the range of your chosen vehicle is suitable for your needs including your daily commute.
