Buying guide
How far will it really go in the summer?
Listed range is a lab (WLTP) value. With air conditioning on and highway speeds in hot weather, plan with about 70–80% of it.
Can I charge at home?
Yes. Most electric cars charge overnight from a wall box (7–11 kW AC), usually in 6–10 hours. Ask a licensed electrician to check your home connection first.
What about public charging?
Fast (DC) chargers are being added in the main cities and along major highways. A 10–80% fast charge usually takes 20–45 minutes, depending on the car. Check the charging map in your car or charging app before long trips.
What does battery health mean?
It is the share of the original battery capacity that is left. Ask the seller for a battery report from a dealer or workshop; above 90% is very good for a used car.
Is the battery still under warranty?
Many makers cover the battery for about 8 years or 160,000 km. Check the warranty papers and the first registration date.
Electric or plug-in hybrid?
A plug-in hybrid drives short trips on electricity (often 40–80 km) and uses petrol for long trips. A fully electric car has no petrol engine and costs less to run.
