1.Kia Soul EV

“It’s a very good car, the Soul EV. And now it has a useful 280 miles of range thanks to the impressive drivetrain it shares with the Hyundai Kona and Kia e-Niro, we don’t think Brits will miss the petrol model all that much. Our criticism of the e-Niro has always been that it’s a bit boring – a clever if uninteresting item. The Soul adds a bit of personality, with a funkier interior and controversial styling, but sacrifices practicality. As they’re basically the same price, it’s a straight choice.”

2.Volkswagen e-Up
“The fact it’s based on the unassailable king of small cars makes it an even more desirable prospect. It’s certainly a frumpier, subtler EV than a Honda e or Mini Electric or even a Renault Zoe, but there’s a huge amount to be said for VW’s ‘just a good car, but electric’ approach – it’s what made the e-Golf such a sleeper hit. It’s also kept the e-Up relevant, recommendable, and ready for a new dawn in the small car world.”

Jaguar I-Pace

“Jaguar steps bravely into the unknown and nails it. A rapid, desirable, good-looking SUV that happens to be powered by electricity”
