Most electric cars are pricier than their ICE counterparts - but what are the cheapest on sale today? Read our top ten list to find out
There’s no denying it still looks fairly funky, while a range of 81 miles and zippy 81bhp motor make it capable of out-of-town forays, and its 17.2kWh battery can be charged in as little as 40 minutes.
Not only does the entry-level SE model undercut most of the cars in this list, at £26,995 it’s only a few quid more than a basic Focus with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. The standard 51kWh battery claims 218 miles of range, but you can stretch to the £29,495 Long Range model with 64kWh cells then this figure jumps to 281 miles. Like the Mini Electric that finishes a few places further down this list, the Fiat 500 is a design icon that successfully reinvented itself for the EV age. You see, while retro-inspired lines look similar to its ICE cousin, this all-electric Italian machine is pretty much unique from the ground up.
It’s now in its second generation, but the underlying architecture and technology for this latest car can trace its roots back to the original, which first appeared around 15 years ago. Still, the Leaf is easy to drive and roomy, and with prices starting at £28,995, it costs a similar amount as a traditional ICE alternative.
