2. EV NEWS: THE INDEPENDENT
It’s cheaper to run an EV in the UK than it is in Germany. British electric car drivers are saving £540 more on running costs than their German counterparts. British electric car drivers are saving significantly more money than their German counterparts, according to new analysis from the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU). The study found that UK EV owners are saving, on average, more than £1,500 a year by running an electric car instead of a petrol one – around £540 more than EV drivers in Germany.
3. EV TIP: USE THE RIGHT CAR MODE
Saving: Increase your range by 5%
Many newer vehicles offer a range of driving modes, allowing you to pick the driving mode that best suits your environment, driving conditions, and mood. However, driving modes can have a big impact on the fuel consumption of your vehicle, ultimately costing you more in charging costs.
To keep your EV costs down, avoid driving modes like sport and 4 wheel drive. Instead, opt for eco mode. Eco mode sends power back to your car battery when you break as well as regulating other fuel consuming aspects of driving (like your air con).
O’Reilly adds that “using different driving modes is needed in some situations and is fun to try out. But if you want to make your money go further, eco mode is the way to go.”

5. EV REVIEW: WHAT CAR?
Jeep Recon
Jeep Recon is 641bhp electric Wrangler alternative. All-electric Jeep Recon will arrive here next year - and it’s aiming for some big numbers. The Jeep Recon electric SUV will take on the likes of the Land Rover Defender when it arrives next year, and it’ll be positioned as an electric alternative to the off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler. The Recon will be based on parent company Stellantis’s STLA Large platform, which is the same tech that’s set to underpin the Alfa Romeo Giulia EV and the Recon’s stablemate, the Jeep Wagoneer S.
