The cheapest new EV with the most range is the MG4 EV, which has a claimed range of 280 miles and a list price of £29,995, although it is not eligible for the government grant. The Vauxhall Corsa Electric offers 266 miles of range and costs from £28,825 but is eligible for a £1500 grant, while the Nissan Micra and Ford Puma Gen-E offer 260 and 259 miles respectively, both cost around £26,000 but are eligible for the higher level £3750 grant.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
