    Should I Charge My Electric Car Every Night?

    The majority of vehicle owners don’t need to charge their electric vehicle every night. However, your vehicle is personal to your schedule and therefore, only you know whether it's necessary to recharge your vehicle every day. An owner who doesn’t use their vehicle for long and regular journeys day in day out could go days without charging because the amount of fuel one top-up provides should be enough for this, however, others that use their vehicle to drive to different locations all day long or typically venture across the country for meetings will need to charge their vehicle a lot more regularly to accommodate this. By working out how many miles you drive on average day to day means you'll have a good idea as to how often your vehicle will need recharging.
