Does a Volkswagen electric car fit my lifestyle?

Our electric vehicles can go further than ever before on a single charge, they charge much faster too.

Plus the ever-growing charging infrastructure is now bigger than ever, with more charging points than fuel stations. Whatever your lifestyle, there’s a Volkswagen electric car to suit your needs. 

Our electric cars have come a long way

  • Range capabilities

    Electric car battery technology has evolved massively over the last few years. If you use your car, like most drivers, to run errands, for the school run or to drive to work you probably average less than 19.5 miles per day. Which means you’ll only need to fully charge once every couple of days. Longer journeys are fine too, 280 - 435 miles is the range our IDs are now hitting.

    Charging options

    You can charge your Volkswagen electric car with a 3-pin plug. This is the slowest method, but basically means you can charge anywhere there’s electricity. What we recommend is that you install an Ohme home charger, which allows you to fully charge quicker and easier. Since December 2022 the public charging network has grown by 45%. Zapmap recently revealed that there are now more charging points in the UK than fuel stations, many of them now offering fast charging.

  • Cost Comparison

    There are many financial benefits to owning a Volkswagen electric car which include a range of government grants and schemes that make buying one cheaper. The government also offers a grant that helps to make installing a home charger cheaper too. The offer extends to homeowners who live in flats and rented accommodation. As an electric car owner, you’ll also avoid payments for entering the Congestion Zone and Ultra-Low Emission Zone.

Did you know that the way you drive effects the power you use? 

Driving modes

Our electric and hybrid cars come with distinct driving modes to give you control over how your car’s power is distributed.

Considering a longer journey?

Volkswagen electric car ranges are continually growing, but there might come a time when you do need to use a charging station, particularly on longer journeys, like going on holiday for example. As part of your sat nav, the EV route planner maps out your journey making sure there are charging stations along the way should you need them.
