TOP 5
BEST EV SUPERMINIS
1
PEUGEOT E 208
Stylish, roomy and entirely like a regular car to ease your transition into EV ownership. Visually arresting, and properly premium interior is standout – and not bad to drive either. Up to 210 miles on a charge, with prices starting at £26,725 (after the government grant, like all these prices).
2 RENAULT ZOE
Renault’s bespoke EV is better than ever, with clean interior and less odd looks than the previous one. Roly-poly handling lumps it into second behind the 208, but a claimed real-world range of 245 miles and very similar price of £26,995 are in its favour. 3 HONDA E
Quirky, supremely wellbuilt and it has an interior far more modern and interesting than anything else here, but pokey boot and titchy 137-mile range hamper its usefulness. Yours from £27,160. 4 VAUXHALL CORSA E
A plainer take on the same platform and battery pack as the Peugeot makes this the most inconspicuous small EV on the market. Claims 209 miles on a charge, and can be had from £27,240. 5
MINI ELECTRIC
A three-door Mini hatch, but electric. Easy. Best to drive out of these five by far, but su ers the same range (145 miles) and practicality issues as the Honda without the charm. Yours for £25,100.
