Electric vs Hybrid

Are you unsure of the differences between a BEV, HEV or a PHEV? Read on to understand the difference between the three types of electric and hybrid cars to make sure you are getting the right one for you.

BMW iX3

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)

BEVs are fully electric vehicles that are solely powered by a battery pack and electric motor with the only fuel being used is electricity. This means that they produce zero CO2 emissions from the car. The concept of an electric car is similar to using your phone – you charge it with a cable and it runs on this charged battery! People are able to charge their electric car by either plugging it into a home charging unit or at one of the public charging stations that are becoming increasingly available.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

HEVs have both a battery pack and electric motor in addition to a gas engine to drive. They may not be as eco-friendly as BEVs, however they certainly produce less CO2 emissions than a petrol or diesel vehicle. These hybrids don't need to be charged as the battery can get its energy through regenerative braking, using the energy that would usually just be wasted when slowing a car down, to assist the gas engine of the vehicle. Most hybrids are great for city driving and can usually run solely on their electric power for a couple of miles.

CUPRA Formentor

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)

PHEVs combine a battery pack and electric motor with a petrol or diesel engine, allowing around 30 miles of driving using the electric battery plus hundreds more miles using the other engine. As you might guess from the name, this hybrid can be plugged into an electric charger to recharge, and can also be charged while moving through regenerative braking. It can be seen as a middle point between a hybrid and a fully electric vehicle! They have a larger battery than hybrid vehicles, meaning that then are able to travel around 30 miles before the gas engine will turn on compared to hybrids that will use their gas engine after 1 or 2 miles.

Plug-in and Hybrid Pros and Cons

So, what's good and bad about electric cars and hybrid cars? We cover the pros and cons of both to help you decide which is best for you.

Pros of Plug-in and Hybrid Cars

  • Great for city driving and frequent stop-start driving
  • You can still drive the car even when the battery hasn't been charged
  • More economical than petrol / diesel cars

Cons of Plug-in and Hybrid Cars

  • Not as economical for longer distance journeys
  • The batteries can often make HEVs and PHEVs heavier and may affect the drive
  • Tax incentives are not as good as electric cars

Electric Pros and Cons

Pros of Electric Cars

  • Zero CO2 emissions
  • Quick, quiet and easy to drive vehicles
  • Very inexpensive to run including no road tax payments (although road tax is free with every LeaseLoco lease deal anyway!)

Cons of Electric Cars

  • Need to be charged in order to drive and charging may be time consuming
  • Tend to cost a lot more to buy than other vehicles
  • May have a shorter driving distance than other cars for a single charge which makes long distance drives a challenge

The Government have introduced various incentives to encourage people going green with their vehicles and making this change more affordable. These incentives include the plug-in car grant, the home wall box installation grant, the workplace charging scheme, lower BiK taxes, road tax savings and many more!

Leasing tends to be the cheapest way to get yourself a brand new car, meaning that while green vehicles are typically more expensive to buy, you will have fixed monthly payments with the best prices on the market.
