Frequently asked questions

Do electric SUVs have shorter range because they are heavier?
Their size and weight can reduce efficiency, but larger batteries usually compensate. Many electric SUVs still offer competitive ranges, though motorway and cold-weather driving lower figures.
Can electric SUVs tow a caravan or trailer?
Some are rated for towing, but capacity varies and towing significantly reduces range. Always check the manufacturer's braked towing limit before buying for this purpose.
Are electric SUVs more expensive to run than petrol ones?
Charging at home, especially on an off-peak tariff, is usually cheaper per mile than petrol. Servicing can also cost less, though insurance and purchase prices may be higher.
