There are already well over 100 models of electric car available to buy in the UK, and that number is going up all the time. As manufacturers work hard to meet a government mandate requiring 22 per cent of all new car sales to be electric this year – increasing to 28 per cent in 2025 and 52 per cent by 2028 – new models are landing all the time.
What’s more, prices are falling. Electric cars are no longer restricted to the luxury end of the market, and while you can still spend six figures on an EV, there are genuinely affordable, sub-£20,000 electric cars like the Dacia Spring to consider. In the coming months we’ll see more small EVs go on sale, in the shape of the retro-styled Renault 5 and its sporty sibling the Alpine A290.
