As electric vehicles grow in popularity, here are a few myths busted and some of your questions answered
Get the facts about buying electric cars

Easy, practical, eco-friendly electric vehicle (EV) driving is now a reality for thousands of people, and it's never been easier to share that experience.

Whether pre-loved or new, around a million electric cars are already on our roads, and one is sold every minute.

Electric cars have been around since motoring began. Britain's first multi-story car park was built for Edwardian electric car owners, including doctors. Petrol cars were often hard to start; reliable electric ones were more likely to get them to urgent appointments.

Cheap fossil fuel put petrol cars ahead, but battery technology advances make modern, green electric cars affordable, efficient... and fun.

Still, with anything new, people have questions, so whether you're keen to go electric, unsure or even sceptical, this guide aims to answer your questions. With Auto Trader's unrivalled knowledge of all things electric, you're in safe hands.

Are electric cars pricey?

Pre-loved electric cars are getting much more affordable, with values falling by around 17 per cent year on year. There's a wide choice on Auto Trader from under £5,000.
