Best All-Round Electric Cars For Under £30k

MG 5

Whether you opt for the 250-mile SE Long Range or the 235-mile tech-orientated Trophy Long Range, the MG5 has you covered when it comes to boot space with its 578-litre capacity.

Renault Megane E-Tech

The new E-Tech shows just how grown up the Megane can be. Passengers get 209mm of leg room, there’s also 33 litres of cabin storage and a 440-litre boot which extends to 1332 litres with the rear seats folded.

MG 4

Depending on how far you travel, MG’s MG4 has you covered with its three trim levels: SE (218 miles), SE Long Range (281 miles) and the tech-packed Trophy Long Range (270 miles).

Nissan Leaf

It’s still popular due to its compact frame, 168-mile range and semi-quick charging time (charging from 20 to 80% in an hour). The boot’s big enough for a medium dog and boasts 435 litres.

Skoda Enyaq

Skoda’s first EV was a beer truck and it was built in 1939; its first bespoke electric car, however, was the Enyaq, released in 2020.

BMW i3

You may question the ability to transport a large dog in the boot of the i3 and we wouldn’t blame you — boot size is only 260 litres or 1100 litres with the seats folded.

Peugeot e-208

Like the normal 208, Peugeot managed to keep the boot space at 311 litres (1106 litres with the seats folded) due to the batteries being mounted in the floor.

Renault Zoe

The larger 41kWh battery is claimed to last for 250 miles while newer cars have a 55kWh 223-mile 135bhp option with rapid charging.

Peugeot e-2008

If you’re finding yourself looking at the MG ZS or the Kia e-Niro, the e-2008 should also be on your list. Like the e-208, it has 136bhp, it will hit 62mph from rest in under 9sec and reach 93mph flat out.
