Electric cars feel like a great choice for the environment but are they a great choice for you? Here are some tips and advice to help you decide. Despite the cost of electricity going up recently electric cars are still less expensive to run than petrol or diesel equivalents.

When it comes to charging your car you will get the best price by charging at home on off-peak hours. Using a public charger can be more expensive but it should still work out cheaper than filling up with petrol. Also, electric cars are usually less expensive to have serviced as they have fewer moving parts to repair or replace.
