What is a Battery Electric Vehicle?

A Battery Electric Vehicle, also known as a BEV, is powered exclusively by electricity. The electricity is stored within a battery, and the energy is sent to an electric motor when you drive, powering the wheels. 

Benefits of a fully electric vehicle:

• Produces zero CO2 emissions or harmful gases 

• Quiet operation – great for cities, suburbs and the countryside 

• Fun-to-drive 

• Smooth and linear acceleration 

A fully electric CUPRA needs charging to maintain its electric power. You can charge your CUPRA at home or on the go. 

CHARGING AT HOME: Home charging can be the most effective way to charge, as you can utilise a charging timer to charge during off-peak times and take advantage of lower tariffs.

CHARGING ON THE GO: You can use a public charging station for on-the-go charging. With an increasing number of stations located around the UK, it’s the perfect solution to charging while you’re out of the house, for example at a motorway service station or while shopping.
