Charging an electric car is quite different to filling one with petrol or diesel. It can be done at home, for a start, and although charge speeds have improved significantly in recent years, topping up a battery still tanks longer than filling a fuel tank. It also tends to cost more too, at least at public charge stations.
If you’re new to EVs, charging might seem intimidating. Different cars charge around different speeds, and the speed of charge stations can vary too, along with the price. Then there are subscriptions to consider, which can make charging cheaper, and how cold weather can affect how quickly an EV charges its battery.
