Before you finalize your choice of fuel type, we suggest thoroughly evaluating your driving habits. Do you generally drive in city conditions or on open highways and motorways? What is your average weekly mileage count?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. 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. Remember that in some places, high-emission diesel engines are not allowed in urban areas.
