Best electric cars for sale 2022

Electric cars are offered across almost the entire spectrum of the automotive market, from the humble hatchback and small crossover, to the large SUV and luxury GT car. While once they existed in a class of their own, now the nestle among their petrol and diesel-powered counterparts.

Many of us wanting to switch to electric motoring will be wanting to survey the EV field to see what’s available, though, so here we gather 20 of the best EVs on sale today for you to browse through.

1. Tesla Model 3

9/10

Battery range up to 374 miles

carwow price from

£463^* / month(£48,490)

You get a shedload of fancy tech as standard with the Tesla Model 3, and its minimalist interior is impressively spacious too. Tesla’s Autopilot suite of assistance systems can take the strain out of a long journey, while the instant acceleration and decent handling make it an enjoyable car to drive. The Standard Model 3 is rear-wheel drive and has an official range of 305 miles, while the all-wheel drive Long Range offers 374 miles, and the Performance manages 340 miles, plus a 0-60mph time of just 3.1 seconds.Read more

2. Kia EV6

9/10

Battery range up to 328 miles

carwow price from

£458^* / month(£43,760)

One of the most striking EVs on the market, Kia’s EV6 may share its platform with the excellent Hyundai Ioniq 5 (see below), but it offers sharper handling and a similarly impressive range of between 300 and 328 miles officially, depending on what size alloy wheels the model you choose has, and whether it’s the rear or four-wheel drive version. Performance is decent, whichever model you choose, with the rear-drive version having 229hp and taking just 7.1 seconds to go from 0-60mph, and the 325hp all-wheel-driver version shrinking that time to just 5.2 seconds. There’s even a 585hp GT version due soon, for those after even more performance.Read more

3. Audi Q4 e-tron

9/10

Battery range up to 314 miles

carwow price from

£442^* / month

Audi’s take on an EV SUV offers everything that you’d expect: a cool, sleek looks, a modern, well-made interior with plenty of bells and whistles, plus brisk acceleration and a refined driving experience. There are two different battery packs available: the 55kWh e-tron 35 can cover up to 209 miles on a single charge, while the 82kWh battery of the e-tron 40 can manage up to 305 miles. There’s also the e-tron 50, which has the larger battery pack plus four-wheel drive.Read more

4. Porsche Taycan

9/10

Battery range up to 273 miles

carwow price from

£894^* / month

When Porsche announced it was making an EV, eyebrows were raised by some, but hopes were high among others. The Taycan confounded all doubters and reassured the optimists, with handling that impresses not only in the electric car class, but also in among fellow Porsches – it really is that impressive to drive. Sure, you have to pay for the pedigree, but do so and you’ll have a GT sports four-door EV that can officially cover between 231 and 314 miles between charges, depending on which model you go for. The sweet spot in the range is arguably the 4S, which has a 282-mile range, plus a 0-60mph time of four seconds dead.Read more

5. Peugeot e-208

9/10

Battery range up to 217 miles

carwow price from

£336^* / month(£28,578)

Given that it’s a small, affordable EV, the Peugeot e-208 still hits hard when it comes to looking and feeling posh inside. It’s entertaining around town and on a good road, and its 225-mile range isn’t bad for a car of this size either. The model line-up starts with Active Premium trim, which brings 16-inch alloy wheels, reversing sensors and manual air-conditioning, but we’d consider upgrading to Allure Premium, which is roughly £1,300 more and brings climate control, a reversing camera and leather-effect seats, among other goodies. GT and GT Premium are a further £2,000 and £3,000 above Allure Premium, adding features such as an upgraded 10-inch touchscreen, LED headlights and a bodykit.Read more

6. Mercedes EQS

9/10

Battery range up to 453 miles

carwow price from

£1,316^* / month(£99,121)

The Mercedes S-Class has long been the benchmark against which other luxury cars are judged, and while the Tesla Model S may have been the key player in the electric subset of this class for some time, the Mercedes EQS is more than capable of bringing the fight to its American rival. With a cabin that is more oppulant than the Tesla, plus a range of up to 453 miles, the EQS may be an expensive machine, but it’s one that easily justifies its price tag.Read more

7. Hyundai Ioniq 5

8/10

Battery range up to 315 miles

carwow price from

£432^* / month(£41,693)

A vision of the future you can drive on the road today, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like nothing on the road, its angular lines and dot-matrix-style rear lights blending together to create a car for the digital age. The Ioniq 5 is far more that just a stylish car, though: the comfortable ride and laid-back interior make for a truly relaxing driving experience, while it’s also very practical, being larger and more SUV-like than its looks might imply. The 77kWh 228hp model is the pick of the range, offering decent performance, plus the ability to go up to 315 miles (officially) on a single charge.Read more

8. BMW i4

8/10

Battery range up to 417 miles

carwow price from

£616^* / month(£53,480)

It wasn’t that long ago the if you wanted a premium EV, Tesla was your only choice. Established car makers have well and truly caught up now though, and the BMW i4 is an excellent contender in this segment. With all the handling finesse you’d expect from a BMW, the i4 also has one of the best cabins and infotainment systems in the business, while the range of up to 365 miles should be more than enough for most.Read more

9. Skoda Enyaq

8/10

Battery range up to 338 miles

carwow price from

£423^* / month(£38,480)

You might expect an electric car from Skoda to be very practical, easy to drive, comfortable and well thought out, and that’s exactly what you get with the Enyaq. It’s a very easy car to warm to, and even easier to fit into your life. The boot is one highlight, with the 585 litres you get back there being commensurate with Skoda’s practical ethos, while the model range starts with a 60kWh battery for 246 official miles of range,or you can pay around £2,000 extra for the 80kWh battery, which can cover up to 338 miles between charges.Read more

10. Volkswagen ID.3

8/10

Battery range up to 265 miles

carwow price from

£305^* / month(£35,307)

The Volkswagen Golf has been a stalwart of motoring for decades, but as more and more people switch to electric cars (before legislation mandates that we all must), the firm’s ID range of EVs shows where its future intentions lie. Strong electric range (up to 330 miles), a practical interior and an impressive level of standard equipment are the Volkswagen ID.3’s calling cards. It’s stylish, too, even if it prioritises comfort over outright driver involvement.Read more

11. Ford Mustang Mach-E

8/10

Battery range up to 379 miles

carwow price from

£605^* / month

Some fans of fast Fords were aghast when the Mustang nameplate was attached to an electric car, but the Mustang Mach-E proved such concerns were unfounded when it arrived. Because while the Mustang Mach-E might be a big, practical family SUV, that doesn’t mean it misses out on being quite good fun to drive. It’s quick too, and has an electric range of up to 379 miles.Read more

12. Cupra Born

8/10

Battery range up to 339 miles

carwow price from

£369^* / month(£34,715)

Cupra used to be the performance arm of SEAT, but split off from the firm to become a standalone company in 2018. The Born is the firm’s take on a medium-sized electric car, sharing its platform with the Volkswagen ID.3, but offering sharper styling and handling. Offered with a 58kWh or 77kWh battery, the former brings 260 miles of range, while the latter manages 340 miles officially, making it a strong contender in this class. Upgrading the battery costs roughly £4,000, though that price also brings a trim upgrade.Read more

13. Volvo XC40 Recharge

8/10

Battery range up to 270 miles

carwow price from

£495^* / month(£45,250)

You can get the Volvo XC40 as a conventional petrol SUV, but the Recharge EV makes a strong case for itself thanks to its range up up to 270 miles, not to mention its slightly surprising 408hp power rating. That’s enough poke for a 0-62mph time of just 4.2 seconds, which is faster than a Ferrari 360 from 1999. Away from performance, being a modern Volvo means you get all the safety equipment you could imagine, plus a tastefully designed cabin that features thoughtfully chose materials.Read more

14. Nissan Ariya

8/10

Battery range up to 328 miles

carwow price from

£477^* / month(£42,750)

Nissan arguably created the modern mid-size SUV when it launched the Qashqai back in 2006, and it’ll be hoping the recently released Ariya finds similar success. It certainly deserves to, with the Ariya’s sleek exterior styling being carried over to the modern, plush cabin, which really moves things on for the brand. Battery-wise, the range begins with a 63kWh offering, which officially provides 250 miles of range, or you can upgrade to the 87kWh model, and up that figure to 329 miles.Read more

15. Jaguar I-Pace

8/10

Battery range up to 291 miles

carwow price from

£730^* / month(£61,745)

It’s strange to think the Jaguar I-Pace has been around for four years now, not least because its creased, sharp styling has worn well with time, while its maker also stole a march on key rival firms, many of which were significantly later to the market with a premium electric car. The I-Pace offers a fantastic driving experience and features a modern, plush cabin that still looks fresh today, while the 286-mile range and 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds should be sufficient for most.Read more

16. Audi e-tron GT

8/10

Battery range up to 298 miles

carwow price from

£970^* / month(£83,042)

Sharing its platform with the Porsche Taycan (above), there’s a fair argument to be made that the Audi e-tron GT is a better looking car. But regardless of where you stand on that subjective topic, there’s no doubting the Audi’s grand touring credentials. The standard car can cover 295 miles on a charge and hit 0-62mph in just 4.1 seconds, while the high performance 646hp RS model does the same in just 3.3 seconds.Read more

17. Hyundai Kona Electric

8/10

Battery range up to 301 miles

carwow price from

£333^* / month(£29,853)

The Hyundai Kona EV may have been slightly eclipsed by its Ioniq 5 stablemate, but it nonetheless remains an excellent EV in its own right. With a range of up to 300 miles, a comfortable cabin and decent levels of standard equipment, the Kona EV is well worth a look. Plus you get the reassurance of Hyundai’s five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and a driving experience that is both relaxing and enjoyable.Read more

18. Polestar 2

8/10

Battery range up to 317 miles

carwow price from

£412^* / month

Polestar is owned by the same company that runs Volvo, so while the brand may be new, the engineering excellence is well established. The Polestar 2 is a stylish electric car that can be had in Standard guise, for a 297-mile range, in Long-Range Single Motor format for a 341-mile official range, or in all-wheel-drive Dual Motor format, which shrinks the 0-60mph time down from 7 seconds to 4.5 seconds, and still keeps the range to 301 miles. All of that comes with an excellent cabin, and a modern infotainment system that is built around a dedicated car-based version of the Android operating system that runs around 2.8 billion mobile phones worldwide.Read more

Battery range up to 145 miles

carwow price from

£345^* / month(£30,391)

What would you expect an electric Mini to be like? Neatly styled? Nippy? Good to drive? Nice inside? Well, if those were your expectations, they’re all present and correct in the Mini Electric. The Mini’s battery range may be a little on the low side at 142 miles officially, but if you’re after an agile, headturning runabout, it’s an appealing option.Read more

20. Renault Megane E-Tech Electric

8/10

Battery range up to 280 miles

carwow price from

£401^* / month(£35,995)

The name may be a bit of a mouthful, but there’s little doubting the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric’s bona fides: 220hp, a 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds and a 280-mile range are all decent enough figures, while the starting price of £36,000
