All of this bodes well for new EV launches and makes them more financially viable.
How to Choose the Right EV for You
With so many new EVs launching in 2025, how do you decide which one suits you best? Here are a few tips:
- Understand your driving needs – Daily city drive or occasional highway trips?
- Check charging options – Do you have a charger at home? Are there public stations nearby?
- Evaluate total cost of ownership (TCO) – EVs cost more upfront but are cheaper to run.
- Look for features that matter – Battery range, boot space, smart features, and warranty.
- After-sales and service – Choose brands with growing service networks.
