Before deciding on a fuel type to buy, we highly recommend taking some time to consider your current driving habits. On a regular week, how far do you drive? Do you engage in many brief trips, or are your drives generally longer in distance?

If you mostly drive short trips, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars may be relevant. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Remember that in some places, high-emission diesel engines are not allowed in urban areas.
