The right choice depends on your mileage, where you can charge, and your budget. Here's a quick comparison for Irish conditions.

Electric (EV)

Lowest running costs and motor tax, best if you can charge at home and your daily distances fit the range. Consider charging access on longer trips.

Hybrid

A good middle ground — better economy than petrol without charging anxiety. Plug-in hybrids reward short commutes with home charging.

Petrol

Lower purchase prices and simple ownership, ideal for lower-mileage drivers. Running costs are higher per km.
