What is an Electric Car?
An electric car runs on electricity rather than fuel, using an electric motor to convert energy into motion. It’s quieter and more environmentally friendly, producing no emissions while driving.
Powered by a rechargeable battery, electric cars turn electricity into motion. Batteries are charged via the grid or regenerative braking, and you can charge your vehicle at home or at public stations.
Hybrid vs. Electric Cars
Electric vehicles (EVs) run entirely on electricity, using large batteries and producing zero emissions, while hybrids combine a petrol engine with an electric motor. EVs rely on external charging and have fewer moving parts, resulting in lower maintenance. Hybrids use both petrol and electricity, offering a longer range and lower emissions than traditional cars, but still require petrol and involve more complex maintenance due to their dual systems. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) can be charged externally for extended electric-only driving.
Find out how to charge your car at home or on the go, the costs involved, and ways to keep your car powered at all times.
Control your EV from anywhere with the MG iSMART app, which allows you to manage charging, check vehicle status, find charging points, and pre-start the climate control.
PCP helps you spread the cost of your MG vehicle over a fixed period rather than paying upfront.
At Birchwood MG Eastbourne, our service plans are designed to give you flexibility and peace of mind, ensuring your electric vehicle is always in top shape.
