Honda e

The Honda e takes a different approach to most small electric cars: range from its 35.5kWh battery is just 136 miles, although Honda reckons its efforts to keep the car light make it better to drive – which in our experience seems to be the case. The car is packed with technology, including a full-length touchscreen inside and cameras in place of conventional door mirrors. It’s undeniably quite expensive, though, and doesn’t have the sort of boot or rear-seat space family buyers will be looking for.

Mazda MX-30

The MX-30 is the Japanese brand’s first electric car, and like many of its creations, treads a different path to mainstream models. It has a short range of just 124 miles, but it’s made using sustainable materials and is relatively light, so it’s better for the environment. The MX-30 is luxurious inside, great to drive, has a distinctive look and charges to 80% in half an hour. The only drawbacks are that short range and a slightly odd door layout, but if you don’t plan on doing trips longer than 100 miles and can charge at home every night, it could be a great option.
