Electric & Hybrid Vehicles
Electric and hybrid vehicles bring smooth performance, lower running costs and modern driving technology into everyday life — and at Bridgend Motor Group, you’ll find one of the widest selections of used EVs, hybrids and electric vans in Scotland.
From affordable compact EVs to long‑range family cars, premium electric models and practical commercial vehicles, every vehicle is prepared to a high standard, with friendly guidance available on range, charging and day‑to‑day running costs. As a long‑established family‑owned group, we make choosing your first electric vehicle — or upgrading to something with more space or capability — simple and stress‑free.
Which Type of EV is Right for YOU?
Fully Electric Vehicles
Our EV range includes everything from compact city cars like the Corsa‑e, MG4 and e‑208, to long‑range family models such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Volkswagen ID.3, CUPRA Born and Tesla Model 3 — plus practical electric vans including the Vivaro‑e, Combo‑e and e‑Expert.
Why choose a fully electric vehicle?
A fully electric vehicle gives you cleaner, quieter driving with lower running costs, thanks to fewer moving parts and the ability to charge at home, work or on the go. Modern tech comes as standard, from digital dashboards to advanced driver‑assistance features, while smooth, silent acceleration and instant torque make every journey feel responsive and effortless — whether you’re in a compact hatchback or a premium long‑range EV, there’s an option for every driver and every budget.
Explore our range and experience how effortless electric driving can be.
What about a PHEV?
Looking for electric driving without going fully electric? A Plug‑in Hybrid (PHEV) gives you exactly that. Many of the PHEVs we stock — including models like the Volvo XC40 Recharge, Ford Kuga PHEV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and other popular plug‑in SUVs and hatchbacks — offer a brilliant blend of electric city driving with the flexibility of a petrol engine for longer trips.
A PHEV gives you the best of both worlds: smooth, silent electric driving for short trips, backed up by a petrol engine for longer journeys. You can plug in at home or at public chargers to maximise your electric range, enjoy lower fuel use on daily commutes, and let the car switch seamlessly between power sources for maximum efficiency. It’s the ideal stepping‑stone if you want the benefits of electric driving without committing to full EV range requirements.
Explore our PHEV range and find a hybrid that fits your routine, your mileage and your lifestyle.
What about an MHEV?
Want better fuel efficiency without changing how you drive? A Mild Hybrid (MHEV) is the simplest step into electrified motoring. Many of the petrol and diesel favourites we stock — including mild‑hybrid versions of popular hatchbacks, SUVs and crossovers — use a small electric motor to support the engine during acceleration and stop‑start driving.
A Mild Hybrid (MHEV) offers better fuel efficiency and lower emissions — all without plugging in. Regenerative braking helps recover energy to assist the engine, making everyday driving more responsive and economical. It’s an easy, no‑change option for drivers who want improved efficiency and a familiar driving experience with no cables, no charging and no range concerns.

EV charging — Home, Workplace & Public
Home Charging (7kW AC) - The most convenient way to charge. A dedicated home wallbox can fully recharge many EVs overnight. Smart charging lets you use cheaper off‑peak electricity and preset your charging times.
Workplace Charging - Many employers now offer on‑site charging for staff or fleet vehicles. This is ideal for topping up during the day and can reduce overall running costs for business users and commercial EV vans.
Public & On‑the‑Go Charging (£ Cost will vary) - Public chargers are available across the UK at supermarkets, car parks, service stations and EV hubs. Fast chargers (7–22kW) are ideal for top‑ups while you shop. Rapid and ultra‑rapid chargers (50kW–150kW+) can add significant range in a short stop when travelling longer distances.
Charging speeds vary depending on the charger, the vehicle’s battery temperature, state of charge, and environmental conditions.
ChargePlace Scotland
ChargePlace Scotland is Scotland’s national Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network, now with charging points in over 2600 locations.
You can see all publicly available chargers and their status on the live map – where you can also see type and availability.
Understanding EV Range
EV range figures are based on WLTP laboratory tests for comparison purposes and do not represent a true, accurate and realistic range. BMG take no responsibility for these claimed range figures. Real‑world range will vary and may be lower, depending on driving style, speed, temperature, weather, traffic, vehicle load, wheel/tyre setup, use of heating or air‑conditioning, and battery condition. Charging times also vary with charger type and temperature
EV FAQs
WLTP range is the official test figure used to compare electric vehicles under identical laboratory conditions. Real‑world range will vary depending on driving style, speed, temperature, weather, traffic and use of heating or air‑conditioning.
Actual range varies for every driver. Road type, speed, weather, cabin temperature, tyre pressures, battery condition and driving behaviour all influence how far an EV will go on a charge.
Charging times vary depending on the charger you use. Home chargers (7kW) are ideal for overnight charging, while rapid chargers at public stations can add significant range in a short stop. Temperature and the vehicle’s battery level also affect charging speed.
They typically offer lower day‑to‑day running costs thanks to fewer moving parts, reduced servicing requirements and efficient energy use. Electricity costs can also be lower than petrol or diesel depending on charging habits.
Many modern EVs offer strong motorway range and the UK charging network continues to expand, making long‑distance travel straightforward with a little planning.
EVs generally require less routine maintenance because there’s no oil, timing belt, exhaust or clutch to replace. Standard items like brakes, suspension and tyres still need regular attention.
Yes — most EV owners install a home wallbox for convenient overnight charging. Many models also include timers so you can charge during off‑peak hours.
If most of your driving involves commuting, school runs, town trips or predictable routes, an EV can be ideal. For longer journeys, choosing the right battery size and charging plan makes the transition easy.
