OVERVIEW

Range and charging made simple

Charging an electrified vehicle is more straightforward than many people expect. Whether you drive a Plugin Hybrid (PHEV) or a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), charging can fit around everyday life, at home, at work, or while you’re out and about.

Understanding how far you’ll go and when you’ll need to charge is key to feeling confident with electrified driving.

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)

A Battery Electric Vehicle runs solely on electricity, stored in a battery that you recharge at home, at work, or at public chargers, making understanding charging a key part of everyday driving.

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV)

A Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle uses a combination of electric power and petrol, allowing you to charge the battery for electric driving while still having the flexibility of a petrol engine for longer trips.

Your charging options, explained.
