FAQ

Making the switch to an electric or hybrid vehicle brings with it a number of questions that need clarifying. At Cawdor Cars, we’re delighted to provide answers to some of the most common queries. Get in touch with your own questions to learn more today.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

Charging time for your electric car depends on both the model and the charging point being used. With a home charger, it’s recommended to charge the battery overnight. Fast charging points at service stations and supermarkets, meanwhile, can often provide an 80% charge in less than an hour. Speak to our electric car experts to find out more.

How much does it cost to charge an electric car?

Charging an electric car is considerably cheaper than the cost of driving a petrol or diesel vehicle. Whereas a combustion engine model costs approximately 12-14p per mile to operate, an electric car comes in at a significantly lower 3-4p per mile.

How long will battery in the car last?

Electric vehicle batteries are designed to provide up to 100,000 miles of performance at the very least. Many manufacturers, however, anticipate covering more than 150,000 miles before a replacement is needed.

Where will I find charging points?

There are currently more than 30,000 charging points throughout the UK, with locations including service stations, petrol stations, supermarkets and selected workplaces. Most electric vehicles will provide a charging point locator function to help you source the nearest charging point.

Cawdor Cars Newcastle Emlyn Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Cawdor Cars Newcastle Emlyn Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders. We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
