My project is on types of cars, I will be looking a normal internal combustion engine, a hybrid engine and a car with an electric motor. I’ve tried to pick similar cars for each category. The three cars I have chosen are the: I worked out the average price by finding six prices and I calculated the Mean. £0.00 £5,000.00 £10,000.00 £15,000.00 £20,000.00 £25,000.00 £30,000.00 £35,000.00 Mazda3 Chevrolet Volt BMW i3 Price (Average) Car Name Car Type Range (Miles) Price (Average) Mazda3 Normal (ICE) 633 £15,653.33 Chevrolet Volt Hybrid 1812 £26,014.83 BMW i3 Electric 90 £28,603.33

Charging Time Both the Chevrolet Volt and the BMW i3 can be charged by a conventional socket, but if you have your own parking space/garage you can have the BMW i Wallbox Pure that can charge the BMW i3 from 0-80% is less than 3 hours or have a Home Charging Station3 for the Chevrolet Volt for 4 hours.

Vehicle Tax Rate The cost of the tax for these isn’t that much only the Mazda3 needs tax of £105, per year the Volt and i3 cost noting to tax. Overall Costs I will now calculate all the costs for a year to see what car turns out cheaper. Car Name Car price Average Fuel price (Yearly) Car Tax Total Cost Mazda3 £15,653.33 £3963.96 £105 £19,722.29 Chevrolet Volt £26,014.83 £2522.52 0 £28,540.69 BMW i3 £28,603.33 0 0 £28,603.33 Conclusion So as you see the Mazda3 is around 9000 pounds cheaper than the Chevrolet Volt the BMW i3. Overall I think the Chevrolet Volt is the best car to buy, because it has the highest range it is just under 3 times of the Mazda3 range and just over 20 times higher than the BMW i3
