Different types of electric vehicles
Nissan’s EV range is growing. So far, Nissan does no offer hybrid variants of its models, instead we offer 100% electric choices. However, with many choices on the market, it’s important to uncover the truths about the different types of EVs available so that you can find the right one for you. Below we have detailed the major differences between the types of electric vehicles you may come across.
WHAT IS A MILD HYBRID CAR?
Although a Mild Hybrid vehicle has two sources of power – a conventional engine and a small electric motor – the electric motor does not power your car and you will not be able to drive on electric miles. Instead, the electric motor is used to assist on board appliances and electronics to improve efficiency.
WHAT IS A HYBRID CAR?
Hybrid vehicles also have two power sources, but unlike a Mild Hybrid, a Hybrid vehicle can drive on electric power. It will seamlessly switch between petrol and electric miles for shorter distances and does not require plug in charging – the electric motor recharges using regenerative braking.
WHAT IS A PLUG-IN HYBRID CAR?
A Plug-In Hybrid or PHEV also fuses a conventional engine with an electric motor but this time with a much higher voltage battery. This allows your PHEV to travel on pure electric miles for longer distances (up to 30 miles). Once your electric miles run out, your car will continue to work as a Hybrid car until it is plugged in to a charging station to recover up to 30 electric miles.
WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC CAR?
An all-electric vehicle, also commonly an EV, will run solely on electric power. It is the only type of electric car that is 100% emissions-free and offers electric driving range in the hundreds – the Nissan LEAF e+ provides 239 miles of electric power whilst the normal Nissan LEAF still impresses with 168 miles. Once your miles run out, you can charge your EV using a 230V power socket at home, a wallbox or a public charging station.
Will buying an electric car save me money?
Buying an electric car save you money upfront and in the long run. Here are just some of the benefits you will enjoy through choosing an electric vehicle for your next car.
Purchase Incentives & Grants
Government grants such as the Plug-In Car Grant can fund up to £3,500 of your electric car and £8,000 of an electric van.
Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme
You can have up to 75% of your at-home charging station covered thanks to the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme.
No Road Tax
Since April 2020, zero emission vehicles no longer have to pay any vehicle excise duty as they are zero-rated.
Reduced Maintenance & Service
Due to the fact that electric cars are made up of fewer parts, you can expect simpler and cheaper servicing costs.
Exemptions from toll charges
Electric cars are also exempt from congestion and toll charges in low-emission zones which are becoming more and more popular around the UK.
Fuel Savings
Running costs are remarkably lower for electric cars. For example, you can charge your electric car to 100% battery (equivalent to a full tank) for as little as £3.
Free parking
Some cities in the UK also offer discounted or free parking rates for electric vehicles.
0% Benefit-in-Kind
Since April 2020, any company car driver choosing to drive an electric vehicle will enjoy Benefit-in-Kind tax relief.
