Choosing an electric car follows the same concept as buying a petrol or diesel car. First you need to decide what your budget is to exclude anything you can't afford.
You then need to consider your needs, such as how many seats you require and how much boot capacity suits your lifestyle.
With electric cars, range is also important for some drivers. Most people only travel short distances at a time, but if you do big miles you want a car with a long range because relying on the public charging network isn't ideal.
Choosing a body style, such as an estate or saloon, is partly personal preference, but there can also be practical benefits to certain vehicles. For example, SUVs tend to have a higher ground clearance and four-wheel drive, which can be particularly useful if you live in a rural area.
