20 best electric cars for sale in 2024
Electric cars are very definitely here to stay - with sales increasing all the time, and the end of new petrol and diesel sales looming in the future. But EVs aren't just the future - they're already the here and now. The good news is that for most kinds of driving, you don't really need to make a compromise to own an electric car any more.
Whether you need a small hatchback, a luxury saloon or a massive, seven-seat SUV, there’s an electric car to suit your needs. The best EVs are great to drive, offer fast charging and big miles from a full battery. You also don’t have to worry about Vehicle Excise Duty, and company car tax is incredibly low, too.
EVs still don't make much sense for ultra high-mileage drivers, and those who can't charge their cars at home have quite a hard time of it. There's also no denying that, so far at least, electric cars haven't reached price parity with normal petrol and diesel cars. But with longer ranges, improvements in public charging and more affordable models going on sale all the time, these issues are dwindling.
