Frequently asked questions

Electric cars have an all-electric powertrain, meaning an electric, rechargeable battery powers the motor. Volkswagen hybrid cars are plug-in hybrids, combining an electric motor with a petrol engine. The electric battery’ capacity means you can do most day-to-day journeys in electric mode, but you also have the confidence of the petrol engine on longer journeys. Hybrid vehicles are a great introduction into the world of electric driving.

Both are brilliant choices; it really depends on your driving style and lifestyle. Electric gives you instant performance and with longer battery ranges and an ever-growing charging infrastructure, are suitable for a wide variety of drivers and journeys. Hybrid lets you enjoy electric driving for day-to-day use while having the added confidence of a petrol engine for longer trips.

A plug-in hybrid car combines an electric motor with a petrol engine. Volkswagen hybrid cars are plug-in hybrids, which means you can charge the electric battery at home or at public charging points. This gives you enough range to cover most day-to-day journeys in electric mode. The clever bit is how they work together. The electric motor and petrol engine can operate independently or combine their power when you need maximum performance. The system seamlessly switches between electric and petrol, or uses both together, depending on your driving needs.

Both electric and hybrid cars charge the same way. You can plug in at home using a standard domestic socket or install a dedicated home wallbox for faster charging. There's also a growing network of public charging points at supermarkets, car parks, service stations, and on-street locations, including rapid and ultra-rapid chargers for quicker top-ups. Most people do their charging at home overnight because it's convenient and cost-effective. Find out more about charging

Yes, both electric and hybrid cars can be charged at home. You can use a standard domestic 3-pin socket, though installing a dedicated home wallbox is faster and more convenient. A wallbox typically charges your car overnight, so you wake up to more power in your battery for the day ahead. Home charging is usually the most cost-effective way to power your car, and you can often take advantage of cheaper overnight electricity rates. Find out more about Ohme, our home wallbox provider, here

The range you’ll see in everyday driving depends on a few things, including which Volkswagen electric model you choose, the size of the battery, your driving style and even the outside temperature.

Yes. All Volkswagen electric and plug in hybrid batteries come with a dedicated warranty for added peace of mind. Like anything, a high voltage battery will naturally age over time, but how you use and look after your car can help maintain its health.

Hear from real owners who have chosen to go electric

Ken and Lyn are volunteer drivers doing drop-offs for people going to hospitals. With anything up to 300 journeys in a single year, it was important for them to have a reliable car with a good range and they felt the ID.4 was the perfect car for the job.

EVs can save money over time

Electric cars can be kinder on your budget in the long run. You’ll typically spend less on energy than petrol or diesel, see lower day to day running costs, and pay less for maintenance thanks to fewer moving parts.

How economical are electric cars to run?

Uncover the cost of running an electric car. Calculate your savings to see how well a car with a plug measures up. (Spoiler alert: they usually measure up really well).

Lithium-ion batteries, of the type used in most electric vehicles (including Volkswagen electric vehicles) have a restricted lifespan. Battery capacity will reduce over time, with use and charging. Reduction in battery capacity will affect the performance of the vehicle, including the range achievable, and is one of a number of factors that may impact resale value. New vehicle performance figures (including battery capacity and range) may be provided for the purposes of comparison between vehicles. You should not rely on new vehicle performance figures (including battery capacity and range), in relation to used vehicles with older batteries, as they will not reflect used vehicle performance in the real world.
