Think carefully about your driving practices before deciding on the suitable fuel type - we highly recommend this approach. 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?

Electric cars, plug-in hybrids and petrol are great for short distances. For long daily driving, electric cars are a strong choice if you can charge. 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. In a few cases with long journeys and limited charging infrastructure, diesel can be a practical solution. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.
