We put six of the best affordable EVs to the test on some of Britain's finest roads
Like no other car in our group, however, the 500e showed the folly of excess. For all of its Napoleonic little-guy attitude, it actually made less mean more, which, I rather suspect, is why so many of us liked it so much.
The Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, which follows the classic formula of a big battery pack in the middle and a motor at either end or both ends, has gained a bit of a reputation for spawning worthy but unexciting electric cars. That has nothing to do with its fundamentals, though. It’s the right size for UK roads, it has the potential for 50:50 weight distribution and its rear-drive layout gives it an advantage too.
And, putting our sensible hat on for a short minute, it makes the most of its EV-ness on the day-to- day as well. Its slightly MPV-like silhouette isn’t the most exciting to look at but does capitalise on the lack of an engine by packaging executive-saloon levels of interior space into the footprint of a Golf.
