Best electric cars pictures
The Renault ZOE is an affordable EV (electric vehicle) and you can lease the car’s batteries 
More expensive models can travel up to 250 miles on a charge It’s easy to drive and the ZOE is very practical too The Hyundai Ioniq is available as an EV, as well as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid - the only car of its type to do so You should comfortably be able to get 150 miles from a charge Its conventional styling will suit motorists who don’t want their car to make a particular statement The Tesla Model S isn’t just the fastest car on this list - top-spec versions are the fastest accelerating cars money can buy It doesn’t come cheap though, but there’s a huge amount of space and you can even specify seven seats You can travel up to 300 miles on a charge, and Tesla’s own chargers make ‘topping up’ very quick indeed When it comes to performance, the Model X SUV isn’t far behind the Model S It competes with cars like the Range Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne Its party piece is its gullwing-like ‘Falcon’ doors The BMW i3 is a striking looking small hatchback that’s made from carbon fibre It’s nippy and good fun to drive, and BMW claims a 195 mile range Clever production methods means BMW can build the i3 in a reasonably environmentally-friendly way The Nissan Leaf is the world’s best selling electric car It can travel up to 124 miles on a charge, increasing to 155 miles on more expensive models There’s a decent amount of space inside too The Kia Soul EV’s boxy shape means there’s plenty of space for passengers But by storing the batteries under the boot, there’s not that much bootspace Kia claims 132 miles between charges The e-Golf looks exactly like any other Golf on the road But its range is shorter than most other models here - just 115 miles While the interior space impresses, the boot is smaller than other Golfs While the Ford Focus is a common sight on the road, the Focus Electric sells in small numbers That’s perhaps due to the range - just 70 miles in the real world It’s not quite as good to drive as the standard Focus either With a price tag of more than £25,000, the VW e-up! is around £15,000 more than the entry-level car That’s a bit price tag to stomach, although its compact dimensions make it good around town And around town, its 90 mile range will be less of an issue
