Frequently asked questions
Why are real-world ranges lower than official WLTP figures?
Official WLTP tests are run in controlled lab conditions. In real-world UK driving — motorway speeds, cold weather, heating on — most EVs deliver 15–25% less than the headline figure.
How much do most UK drivers actually drive?
The DfT National Travel Survey shows the average UK car journey is just 8.4 miles, and 99% of journeys are under 100 miles. Even a small EV easily covers a typical week.
Will batteries get much better soon?
Yes — CATL's Shenxing 2.0 (2026) charges 10–80% in 5 minutes; solid state batteries (2027+) target 600+ mile ranges; sodium-ion (2028+) should bring entry EVs under £15k.
