Frequently Asked Questions

A hybrid vehicle uses more than one way of propulsion. For example, it will have an electric motor and petrol engine. This means you don’t have to worry about plugging the vehicle in as it charges Itself when driving.

An Electric vehicle is power 100% by an electric motor. You must charge your vehicle by plugging it in at a charging point. You can also get chargers that work on your home electrics.

A plug-in Hybrid is a mix between a hybrid and fully electric vehicle. It will have an electric motor and a petrol/diesel Engine. You can still charge these by plugging them in at a charger. These vehicles offer an electric vehicle but with the backup of a conventional engine for longer journeys.

A reputable AA dealer will have AA approved branding such as flags around the site as well as AA information on their website, indicating it.

This depends on the type of vehicle you have. If you have a Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid you can simply switch to Engine mode and you can drive to the nearest charge point using the backup engine.

Sherwoods Motor Group Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Sherwoods Motor Group Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
