Driving Range
In short, how many miles you can travel on a full charge. Is length important? Let’s not open that can of worms…
Efficiency
How many kWh of charge are needed to travel a set distance. The fewer needed, the more efficient your EV is. Easy!
Battery
The bigger the battery, the more power it can hold. In essence, fewer stops needed to top up your charge. Ahh, simplicity!
Top Speed
The maximum speed you can reach with your foot pressed hard to the floor. Important when escaping a zombie apocalypse, we assume.
Seats
Well, you don’t want to have to leave anybody at home… or do you?
Body
From stylish SUVs and compact crossovers, to curvaceous coupes and handy hatchbacks, there’s a perfect shape for everyone!
Isofix
The safe way to attach a child seat. Typically, these are hidden in the join between the back seats, alongside the crumbs from your last meal deal.
Safety Rating
A measure that considers the amount of safety kit installed, how a vehicle performs in crash testing and how safe it is for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Indication of real-world range in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. For 'Highway' figures a constant speed of 110 km/h is assumed. The actual range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather and route conditions.

General Charging (0 - 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV
