Keep your driving habits in mind when choosing which fuel type to purchase. Do you primarily use your car to commute, and is the distance 35 miles or fewer each way?

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. Keep in mind that diesel engines with high emissions have been banned from entering cities in a range of countries.

Hatchbacks are compact cars that offer a great driving experience, not to mention the flexibility of ample space.
