Electric cars are surging in popularity thanks to their reduced environmental impact compared to petrol-powered cars. But are they actually more efficient?

The race for 0-62mph in less than a second is enthralling, but our interest in future battery technologies for electric vehicles is even greater.

V2L (Vehicle to Load) is a bidirectional power feature that lets you use the large battery in an electric vehicle to power or charge something else.

Every EV has an onboard charger, the main purpose of which is to convert Alternating Current from the grid into Direct Current for the battery.

Charging every day could degrade your battery and reduce your range over the long term.

AC and DC chargers have one fundamental difference: how power is converted from AC to DC for the battery.

plug to charge at home is easy, but slow. 3-pin sockets charge at 2kW to 2.3kW max, so it's the slowest type of charging available.

There are immense opportunities and inevitable challenges that lie ahead as we transition away from combustion-powered cars.

Need an EV charger but not sure where to start? This guide covers everything you need to know.

The rate of degradation in EV batteries is so slow you are unlikely to own a car for long enough to notice any problems.

At some point, EV charging speeds start to taper off significantly. What gives?

With EV chargers, the devil is in the details. Small decisions like charging capacity and cable length make a big difference in convenience and costs over time.

Installing an EV charger does not require rewiring your house. The electrical work is usually confined to creating the new circuit between the consumer unit and charger.

Electric cars are predicted to get cheaper over time with the latest estimates pegging price parity with ICE cars by 2026.
