Why choose an EV?

Cheaper to run

Charging the battery on an EV is usually much cheaper than filling a tank of fuel in a petrol or diesel vehicle, meaning the running costs of EVs are lower

Government grants

The government still provides grants towards home chargers for some people

Government grants

Tax benefits

EVs attract lower taxation, both for VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) and BIK (Benefit in Kind)

Local incentives

EVs may benefit from local incentives like congestion charge exemption or free parking

Less maintenance

EVs have fewer moving parts which means maintenance and repair costs may be lower

Instant performance

In EVs, the torque from the motor is delivered instantly, meaning incredible responsiveness, particularly at low speeds

Range

When looking at EVs, you’ll see the term WLTP Range. WLTP stands for Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure and is a globally recognised method of assessing the range of EVs. It’s designed to give a reliable and transparent estimate of the range of an EV. But, it is still derived via a test cycle, so real world ranges can be lower in some cases.

Various factors affect the range of an EV:

  • Outside temperature. Cold weather reduces the range
  • Driving style
  • Vehicle load
  • Use of air con and heating
  • Use of features such as stereo, heated seats, heated rear windows


That said, the average UK commute is 20 miles, so even if the range is reduced, most people will have more than enough for their day to day use.

Battery

We know that the range of the battery can vary due to external factors, but there are things you can do to optimise the range:

  • Heated seats use less energy than the cabin heater
  • Accelerate and brake gradually
  • Pre-cool or pre-warm your car while it’s plugged in using the OMODA app


You can maximise the life of the battery by only charging to 80% on most occasions. Obviously you can still charge to 100% if you know you’ll need the full range.

For peace of mind, we have a class-leading an eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty, providing coverage against material or manufacturing defects. This means we will repair or replace any such defects free of charge within the eight-year warranty period, to return the battery capacity to at least 70% of the original capacity.

Jargon explained

AC DC
AC stands for alternating current DC stands for direct current
The electricity that comes from the plugs in our home in AC Many public fast charge points are DC
The batteries in EVs charge via DC, so the AC current is converted into DC by the on-board charger The current does not have to be converted by the on board charger
This means charging will be slower with an AC charger than a DC charger Therefore DC chargers can charge the car more quickly than AC chargers
kW kWh
kW is a measure of energy transfer kWh is a measured of stored energy
With EVs, the power of chargers are measured in kW With EVs, the size of the battery is measured in kWh
The higher the kW, the faster the charger will charge your car The higher the kWh, the larger the battery and, generally, the further the range
