It's highly recommended to reflect on your driving patterns before making a decision on the fuel type. On a regular week, how far do you drive? Do you engage in many brief trips, or are your drives generally longer in distance?

For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. It's important to consider that in some countries, diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities.
