IF YOU’VE BEEN looking for a (relatively) cheap electric car, you’ve probably noticed that there’s a big gap in the market. The Dacia Spring and Leapmotor T03 are priced at £15k to £16k, but they’re tiny and feel out of their depth at higher speeds. And if you want something bigger and less compromised, you’ll need to find at least £22k for a Citroën e-C3 or £23k for a Renault 5 (R5).
