Curious about what powers an electric vehicle? Most EVs today use lithium-based battery technology, commonly lithium iron phosphate (LFP) or nickel manganese cobalt (NMC). These batteries are designed for high efficiency, safety, and long lifespans — typically lasting over 8–10 years with regular use.
Battery performance can vary depending on factors like vehicle type, charging habits, and climate, but modern EVs are engineered to deliver reliable range and durability.
If you’re considering an EV or just want to understand how the tech works under the hood, we’re always happy to explain more — just ask!
Electric vehicles are much cheaper to run than petrol or diesel cars. Charging an EV typically works out to the equivalent of 40–50 cents per litre, depending on your electricity rates and charging habits.
Maintenance costs are also lower — electric motors have far fewer moving parts, meaning less servicing and fewer mechanical issues over time.

EV is code for ‘Electric Vehicle’ and refers to any vehicle powered by one or more electric motors from energy stored in rechargeable batteries.
All are short hand for different variations of Electric Vehicle (EV)
BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle – powered only by electrical energy, the battery is charged by plugging into a power source.
Hybrid = A vehicle powered by a combination of electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) but the battery is solely charged by the ICE and regenerative braking – i.e. it doesn’t plug in.
PHEV = Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle – Powered by an electric motor and an internal combustion engine (ICE). The battery is charged through regenerative braking, the ICE and by being plugged in to a power source.
