Electric cars for sale have been around for years and, despite a reputation for being expensive, are starting to become genuinely affordable. Whether you’re looking for an eco-friendly runabout or a luxury plug-in with great performance, there are plenty of good options available right now.
One of the biggest obstacles to buying an EV has been range anxiety, but with many models now capable of covering over 200 miles between charges and some significantly more, this is becoming less of an issue. The Nissan LEAF remains the most affordable EV on sale and can be reserved at a McCarthy Nissan dealer near you, while the all-new Tesla Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV are gaining popularity for their broad appeal and hefty federal EV tax credits.

Kia’s EV6 is another popular option, with both front-wheel drive and twin-motor four-wheel drive versions. The regular EV6 can cover up to 300 miles according to WLTP tests, while those looking for a hot hatchback with a bit more power should look at the GT variant, which has an impressive 585hp and goes from 0-62mph in just 7.1 seconds.
There’s also a raft of family-focused electric SUVs, such as the Volkswagen e-Golf, which has sci-fi looks on the outside and plenty of space for passengers or luggage inside. If you’re after a larger EV, try the Hyundai Kona Electric, which is our 2024 Large EV of the Year and has space for rear-facing seats, as well as a big boot.
