MG4
- Price from: £27,300
- Fuel Type: electric
- CO2/BiK band: 0g/km/3%
Now well established as a firm favourite of private buyers and company car choosers alike, the MG4 is good to drive, roomy and generally well equipped, even in the more modest SE trim. It doesn’t get a heat pump, admittedly, and charging isn’t as quick as on some rivals, but the chunky 64kWh battery delivers well over 200 miles of range in the real world.
The standard MG4 is quick enough, too, thanks to the 201bhp rear-mounted motor – and the surprising thing is that this family hatchback handles pretty sweetly, too. When you consider that lower-rate taxpayers can have this car for only about £15 per month, it’s frankly ludicrous value.
“The MG4 isn’t just suited to in-town duties; it’s more than accomplished on twisty B-roads and, dare we say it, even a little fun.” - Max Adams, online reviews editor
Renault 4
- Price from: £27,000
- Fuel Type: electric
- CO2/BiK band: 0g/km/3%
The original Renault 4 was a dependable and affordable workhorse for plenty of people, and now this true French classic has been reimagined for the EV era. Today, the R4 can cover up to 254 miles thanks to its 52kWh battery, and it comes with plenty of mod cons including a heat pump, 10.1-inch touchscreen and a reversing camera.
While some might roll their eyes at the thought of yet another car being transformed into a small SUV, this undoubtedly works in the R4’s favour as it’s a genuinely practical electric car. The 420-litre boot is a decent size and it’s easy to load thanks to its low lip. There’s ample room for four adult passengers, too. Our road testers found the closely-related Renault 5 slightly more entertaining to drive, but the Renault 4 still maintains its composure pretty well in most driving situations.
“On the road, the R4 feels neatly tied down, despite Renault claiming it has a slightly softer set-up than the 5, with a willingness to change direction that’s missing in plenty of its rivals.” - Richard Ingram, deputy editor
Renault 5
- Price from: £23,000
- Fuel Type: electric
- CO2/BiK band: 0g/km/3%
You can get the Renault 5 E-Tech for less than £24k, but we’d say it’s worth investing a few extra thousand in the 148bhp Techno model, because this higher-power variant is tied to a larger 52kWh battery pack, which in turn delivers a claimed 248-mile range; the basic model’s 40kWh pack gets you a still-decent 193 miles.
All Renault 5s look absolutely fantastic, though, and they drive well too, with a grown-up feel, a well controlled ride, and just a hint of fun in the corners. The Google-based infotainment is a firm Auto Express favourite with responsive software and good looks, and while rear-seat space is a bit tight, up front the 5 looks and feels great.
“Renault has engineered a feeling of solidity into the way that the 5 behaves on the road. In terms of refinement and stability, it really doesn’t feel like a small car at all. It’s all very grown up and reassuring.” - Alex Ingram, reviews editor
Vauxhall Corsa Electric
- Price from: £24,000
- Fuel Type: electric
- CO2/BiK band: 0g/km/3%
The Vauxhall Corsa Electric is a good example of getting the basics right. Electric cars don’t necessarily need to be flash or hi-tech – sometimes, just a well thought-out electric version of an already sensible and accomplished supermini will do.
We think the Corsa Electric is a particularly good entry point into the world of EVs due to the overall sense of familiarity. It's not the youngest small electric car on the market, but the little Vauxhall’s peppy performance and 221-mile claimed range mean it’s still a competitive option in the supermini class.
“The Corsa Electric is a fine car around town, with light and reasonably precise steering helping to boost agility in built-up areas and around roundabouts, the typical roads this car will spend its life on.” - Max Adams, online reviews editor

Vauxhall Frontera Electric
- Price from: £25,300
- Fuel Type: electric
- CO2/BiK band: 0g/km/3%
Plenty of previously retired automotive monikers have been resurrected on new electric cars (a number of which appear on this list), and the Vauxhall Frontera is one such model. Unusually, though, Vauxhall is charging exactly the same price for both the hybrid and electric variants, but the latter boasts the better BiK rate.
You’ll need to opt for hybrid power if you need seven seats, but for those who can make do with five, the Frontera is still a capable family SUV. There’s a 460-litre boot and plenty of passenger room in the front and rear. Our road testers struggled to notice any major differences between the base Design and GS trim levels, though, so we don’t see much point in handing over the extra money.
“We often test cars that feel like they’ve been given technology and equipment for the sake of it, so the no-frills approach of the Vauxhall Frontera is deeply refreshing.” - Alastair Crooks, senior news reporter.
