Tesla Model 3

Model 3 is available for purchase for just £42,500. This car is Tesla’s most affordable model. The battery range is between 254 miles and 348 miles, depending on a trim level which is excellent for an electric car. It has great technology on-board too, as well as alloy wheels, a large infotainment system which looks like a tablet in Standard Range Plus and Long-Range trims, and the addition of heated seats, 20’’ alloy wheels and LED fog lights in the top-spec Performance trim.

This is a great electric vehicle to lower your carbon footprint. Mass production of cars like the Tesla Model 3 could help save the planet in time.

Porsche Taycan

This car is the most direct competitor to Tesla Model 3, although it is a lot more expensive and with cost starting from £83,580. Taycan breaks all the stereotypes that EVs have and is a power to reckon with, as Turbo S trim goes from 0-60 mph in only 2.6s! Taycan 4S and Turbo trim both have all-wheel-drive (AWD) and a larger battery range of up to 301 miles, while base trim Taycan has rear-wheel drive. It’s a thrill to drive it, even though it’s on the heavier side due to batteries, the steering feels effortless.

Kia e-Niro

If you’re looking for an affordable EV that is also SUV, Kia e-Niro is for you, with prices starting from £26,829. It has a superb battery range of up to 282 miles and is a solid, practical choice. It’s also fuel-efficient and has three trim levels to choose from, which are numbered from 2 to 4+ and all come with 17’’ alloy wheels, roof rails, solar glass and rain-sensing front wipers. There are many comfort features too – from power lumbar support to a heated steering wheel which is useful for those cold winter mornings. 

Polestar 2

Polestar is a new player in the EV market, co-owned by its parent companies’ Volvo and Chinese automotive company Geely. It retails for £49,900 in the UK and you can purchase additional extras, such as Nappa leather interior, metallic paint colours, 20’’ alloy wheels and a performance pack. Polestar 2 has AWD, an infotainment system with voice control and a 78kWh battery pack, with a 292-mile range. The design reflects Scandi-chic and is one of the most good-looking electric cars.

Jaguar I-PACE

This car is Jaguar’s first attempt to make an electric vehicle and it succeeded already – with over 40,000 cars sold since 2018. It’s got two electric motors, AWD and 395bhp which is quite quick and just like Polestar 2, has a 292-mile battery range. It has also won the 2019 European Car of the Awards with prices starting at £64,625.
