Q

Do automatic cars use more fuel?
collapsed

A

Electric cars all use automatic transmission and they are known to provide optimum fuel efficiency, compared to their petrol and diesel counterparts. EVs are powered solely by an electric battery, which means very little energy is wasted as heat or noise, making them more efficient than traditional ICE-powered cars. Our electric cars also use regenerative braking, which enables them to funnel unused kinetic energy back into the battery.

A

Yes, the government has announced that all new cars will be electric or hybrid by 2035 as part of the push towards net-zero emissions by 2050. As all electric cars have an automatic gearbox , this also means that manual cars will gradually become less common.

This shift is making automatic cars an increasingly popular choice for drivers. Whether you’re researching the best automatic cars for sale, exploring automatic cars on finance, or considering a used automatic car, the market is expanding as the UK moves towards a future without manual cars.
