LONG RANGE PURE ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) run off one power source only - the electric battery. There is no combustion engine present which means they are the cleanest option and never produce tailpipe emissions and hence the most sustainable.
They do however have range anxiety, if you run out of electricity that’s it, just like if you ran out of petrol or diesel; hence there are some additional things you need to consider before purchasing a pure electric vehicle.
Suitable for predominantly urban* driving due to range limitations, however new models are coming to market with increasing ranges moving these vehicles into the extra-urban** drive cycles. Vehicle charging is a key consideration because there is no other back up fuel so access to a charging point at home is a must.
Long range*** pure electric vehicles have a range of over 150 miles****.
