2. Kia e-Niro

8/10

Battery range up to 282 miles

With the Kia e-Niro covered by a seven-year, transferable warranty, every example on sale now will still be covered. They haven’t lost much value so you won’t see huge savings over buying new, but you shouldn’t lose much to depreciation either.

5. BMW i3

8/10

Battery range up to 188 miles

For something to stand out on the road in, you can’t go wrong with a BMW i3. Despite being on sale since 2013, it’s still a striking-looking thing — and a great driving EV at that. Early examples had limited range, but as an affordable way to cover short town journeys you could do a lot worse.

6. Hyundai Ioniq electric

6/10

Battery range up to 193 miles

Thanks to a generous five-year warranty, it’s easy to find a used Hyundai Ioniq Electric that will still be covered by that guarantee — which transfers between owners. It’s a spacious car in its own right too and has a respectable range of around 150 miles from a charge.

7. Smart EQ Fortwo

6/10

Battery range up to 82 miles

If you can forgo a bit of practicality in favour of something that’s perfect as an urban runaround, the Smart EQ Fortwo is a great choice on the used market. A low range means you’ll need to keep journeys short, but this is a car for squeezing into tight parking spaces and whizzing around town in.

8. Audi e-tron

8/10

Battery range up to 252 miles

Despite only going on sale in 2018, there’s a good selection of used Audi e-trons to pick from on the used market and with low miles too. Range certainly isn’t the most impressive for its pricepoint new, but used examples come with massive discounts that make it easy to forgive.

9. Jaguar I-PACE

8/10

Battery range up to 298 miles

The Jaguar I-Pace has been on sale for a while now, but it’s no less head-turning than when it first came onto the market. Used examples are easy to find too, and at a major discount compared with new examples. Owners report a drop in charge to about 80% by 50,000 miles, but an eight-year battery warranty should keep your mind at ease.
