Electric Vehicles
Pure electric vehicles are very much different than cars with conventional engines that run on petrol or diesel.
With no combustion engine, fuel tank or exhaust system, electric vehicles can have unique configurations and are powered by a battery that is recharged by plugging into the mains.
Our technicians are RMI Level 3 trained for hybrid and electric vehicles, the highest standard available.
Our specialist technicians are qualified to the highest standard in electric vehicle repairs and our Salisbury based garage is equipped with the very best tools specifically tailored for repairs on electrical cars and vans.

Hybrid vehicles
Hybrid vehicles utilise the power of the traditional internal combustion engine and an electric motor, powered by a battery.
Unlike pure electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, the standard hybrid doesn't plug into the mains for battery re-charge.
The battery is instead charged by the power generated by the combustion engine.
The car or van smartly switches between using the combustion or electric motor depending on a number of factors including the charge of the battery and current speed.
Hybrid vehicles provide an eco-friendly and efficient vehicle without the current restrictions found with re-charging pure electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles
Plug-in hybrid vehicles are similar to traditional hybrid vehicles in that they have both an internal combustion engine and a battery unit that both work to power the car.
However, as the name suggests, a plug-in hybrid can be plugged into the mains to re-charge the battery instead of relying purely on electrical charge generated by the combustion engine as found in a hybrid vehicle.
If you already own a plug-in hybrid or are looking to purchase one, you can rest assured that Brunel Motors can provide servicing, diagnostics and repairs from our Salisbury based garage along with the great customer service we're renowned for.
