EV HOTLIST
READY TO MAKE THE SWITCH? WE SEPARATE WHAT’S HOT FROM WHAT’S NOT
CITY CARS
These small cars are perfect for urban life, but the trade-off is a much lower range
1. HONDA e
PRICE: £36,920–£38,120 RANGE: Up to 136 miles
This TG favourite has retro styling and a brilliant interior, but it’s a smidge expensive and the range isn’t great. Somehow we can’t help but love it...
2. FIAT 500
PRICE: £30,645–£36,645 RANGE: Up to 199 miles
The latest version of the 500 offers sharper looks, good value and decent range – and a parcel shelf full of soft toys shouldn’t hurt the battery too much.
3. VW e-UP
PRICE: From £24,085 RANGE: 159 miles
It’s always been one of the finest city cars out there, but you’ve got to be sure you could cope with all of the Yorkshire-accented jokes that plague the e-Up.
4. SMART EQ FORTWO
PRICE: £22,225–£25,795 RANGE: 80 miles
Yes, range is terrible, but as city cars go the Fortwo remains a brilliant package that works well within the confines of the city. Just don’t go further than that...
SUPERMINIS
You drive mostly around town, with occasional need for longer distances? Try these for size
1. PEUGEOT e-208
PRICE: £30,195–£34,345 RANGE: Up to 232 miles
The e-208 is competent and stylish, but ultimately you’ll fall into one of two camps: outraged about the tiny steering wheel or you don’t understand the fuss.
