2. Kia e-Niro
Battery range up to 282 miles
With the Kia e-Niro covered by a seven-year, transferable warranty, every example on sale now will still be covered. They haven’t lost much value so you won’t see huge savings over buying new, but you shouldn’t lose much to depreciation either.
3. Renault Zoe
Battery range up to 245 miles
With the Renault Zoe having been on sale since 2013, there’s now plenty of used examples to pick from. It’s a low-cost way to zip around town, and battery leasing means no need to be concerned about poor performance.
4. Nissan Leaf
Battery range up to 239 miles
The Nissan Leaf proved to be one of the most popular EVs of the last decade, meaning plenty of great examples to pick from in the used market. You’re best going for the latest generation model if your budget stretches, though there’s no shortage of affordable first-generation cars.
5. BMW i3
Battery range up to 188 miles
For something to stand out on the road in, you can’t go wrong with a BMW i3. Despite being on sale since 2013, it’s still a striking-looking thing — and a great driving EV at that. Early examples had limited range, but as an affordable way to cover short town journeys you could do a lot worse.
6. Hyundai Ioniq electric
Battery range up to 193 miles
Thanks to a generous five-year warranty, it’s easy to find a used Hyundai Ioniq Electric that will still be covered by that guarantee — which transfers between owners. It’s a spacious car in its own right too and has a respectable range of around 150 miles from a charge.
7. Smart EQ Fortwo
Battery range up to 81 miles
If you can forgo a bit of practicality in favour of something that’s perfect as an urban runaround, the Smart EQ Fortwo is a great choice on the used market. A low range means you’ll need to keep journeys short, but this is a car for squeezing into tight parking spaces and whizzing around town in.
8. Audi e-tron
Despite only going on sale in 2018, there’s a good selection of used Audi e-trons to pick from on the used market and with low miles too. Range certainly isn’t the most impressive for its pricepoint new, but used examples come with massive discounts that make it easy to forgive.
9. Jaguar I-PACE
The Jaguar I-Pace has been on sale for a while now, but it’s no less head-turning than when it first came onto the market. Used examples are easy to find too, and at a major discount compared with new examples. Owners report a drop in charge to about 80% by 50,000 miles, but an eight-year battery warranty should keep your mind at ease.
10. Volkswagen e-Golf
Battery range up to 144 miles
Spacious, practical and packed with traditional Volkswagen build quality ensures the VW e-Golf is at the top of our used electric car list. With a real-world range of around 125 miles it’s ideal for zipping around town.
