REVEALED: The best small electric cars on sale today

Small cars lend themselves perfectly to being EVs, with these models typically being used for shorter routes in and around towns and cities, where there’s often better access to public chargers.

While there aren’t as many small electric cars on the market as you might expect, there’s still a good range of options, with these also being the most affordable way of getting behind the wheel of an EV. Here are the best small electric cars on the market.

Mini Electric

Mini’s 3-Door Hatch is an icon, and it got even better in 2020 when the brand introduced the Electric. If ever there was a car that suited going EV, it’s this Mini, which we’d argue is even more impressive and fun in Electric guise than with petrol engines under the bonnet.

Fiat 500

Ever since Fiat revived its 500 in 2008, this has been a particularly popular choice and remains one of the best-selling cars across Europe. The regular petrol models are starting to feel a bit dated, but fear not as Fiat’s electric 500 propels this city car into modern territory.

Peugeot e-208

Peugeot’s 208 supermini was the best-selling car across Europe in 2022 and a key factor to its success is the electric e-208. This small EV offers a fantastic, high-quality interior and plenty of standard equipment, while it’s good to drive as well.

Honda e

Honda’s e might not be the best choice for those doing longer trips because of its 220km electric range, but for those who stay predominantly locally and want one of the coolest small cars ever made, it’s most certainly worth a look.

MG4

Last but by no means least, we have the MG4. This hatchback might be slightly larger in size but the MG4 is great to drive and spacious, thanks to it being built around a new electric car-only platform.
