Today’s electric cars offer sleek designs and innovative engineering as their petrol and diesel counterparts. Car manufacturers have invested heavily into their technology to create a series of vehicles that seamlessly blend their environmental credentials with their performance.

We know that drivers in Stockport are curious about what to expect from an electric vehicle. You may have questions about how far you can drive on a single charge or how much it could cost to charge an electric vehicle per month.

The good news is that today’s electric vehicles are a great alternative to traditional petrol or diesel models. If you love cars, then you can take your pick of electric vehicles, with premium car manufacturers such as Jaguar, BMW, and Audi releasing many models that maintain their luxe status. However, there is also a wide range of more affordable electric cars available on the market; the Nissan Leaf continues to be extremely popular amongst Stockport drivers, as well as electric and hybrid models from Ford, Hyundai, and Vauxhall.

We are also seeing a significant improvement in the road infrastructure, which reduces the issue of range anxiety amongst local drivers. If you spend most of your time nipping around the streets of Stockport, then you may not be concerned about how far you can drive on a single charge. But if you are travelling further afield, perhaps throughout Greater Manchester or along the M60, you may have concerns about how far you can drive. Different electric cars offer different driving ranges. Depending on the car manufacturer, you can expect to travel between 150-300 miles on a single charge.

As Stockport is part of the Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone, we anticipate that the local infrastructure will continue to improve with new charging points becoming mainstream in car parks and petrol stations.

If you are keen to improve your eco-credentials, then switching to a used electric car could be one of the most valuable lifestyle changes you can make.
