Before you finalize your choice of fuel type, we suggest thoroughly evaluating your driving habits. Do you find yourself driving more in urban settings or on open highways and expressways? How much distance do you travel in an average week?

For shorter trips, electric cars, plug-in hybrids and petrol cars are great. For longer commutes, an electric car is often the best choice - especially with charging options at home or at work. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Be aware that in several countries, diesel engines that emit high levels of pollutants are barred from urban areas.
