Charging an EV is usually cheaper than refueling a petrol or diesel car, reducing running costs.
The government still provides grants towards home chargers for some people
EVs attract lower taxation, both for VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) and BIK (Benefit in Kind)
There are more than 70,000 public charge points in the UK, and that’s growing every day
Most home chargers have an output of approximately 7kW, which means charging from 30% to 80% in 8.7 hours.
You can charge using a conventional 3-pin plug, but this is the slowest way to charge and will take around 20 hours.
We have partnered with Ascent Energy Services to offer customers a state of the art, OMODA-branded, home charger.
In colder or hotter conditions, range can decrease as the vehicle uses energy to manage battery temperature.
Driving at high speeds and accelerating and breaking aggressively can reduce the range.
Having more passengers or luggage in the car will increase the weight and reduce the range.
Pre-heating the car while it is on charge will maximise your available range.
The running costs of electric vehicles are significantly lower than petrol or diesel vehicles.
At 24.5p per kWh (the typical standard tariff in the UK), the OMODA E5 will cost around £15 to charge from 0% to 100%, or £7.50 to charge from 30% to 80%.
Some energy companies have specific EV tariffs, offering discounted electricity (as low as 7p per kWh) at off peak times. At this price, charging the OMODA E5 will cost around £4.30 from 0% to 100%, or £2.15 to charge from 30% to 80%.
This means the cost per mile can be up to 10 times less than a petrol or diesel car.
Using the OMODA app, you can schedule charging to coincide with the lower electricity costs.
You could also save money with an EV via lower tax, local incentives such as free parking, and reduced servicing and maintenance costs.
