Electric car sales are soaring, and it’s easy to see why. A combination of low running costs, excellent performance, and easy driving style – plus government legislation – means that electric vehicles (EVs) are tempting ever increasing numbers of buyers.
There are now dozens of excellent EVs available to UK drivers, and approaching 100 different models – not counting model variants. We run through the picks of the bunch, highlighting the best EVs for a variety of budgets and requirements.
Below, Zap-Map has picked the top 10 electric cars on sale in the UK. It’s a considered list and with any luck it will help you make a more informed decision when purchasing your new EV.
Kicking off with the smallest and most affordable car on this list, Fiat’s 500 sees the iconic city car rebooted as a pure-electric model. Available with a choice of two batteries, and slightly varying power outputs, the 500 has a range of almost 200 miles from the longer-range model.
Its compact dimensions have been retained from the previous generation, but the performance is much better, and more suited to urban driving – the 500’s natural habitat.
