That means not everybody can stretch their budget to get behind the wheel, especially since there are no longer any government grants to help them do so.</p> <p>But all is not lost because it’s been nearly 20 years since the first EVs of the modern era hit showrooms, and many have found their way to the used market. Here we list the electric cars that are the best in their price brackets, up to a maximum of around £17,000.</p> <p>Why £17k? Because according to research by Auto Trader, the average price of a used car in the UK is £17,654. But while the EVs we’ve chosen are below average in price, they shouldn’t be sub-par for their electric driving experience. </p> <p>We’ve also included some tips on <a href="#buyingusedEV">what to look out for when buying a used electric vehicle</a>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Best EVs for under £3k</strong></h2> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-131757" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/Mitsubishi-i-miev.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mitsubishi i-MiEV</strong></h3> <p><strong>Range when new:</strong> 93 miles (NEDC)</p> <p>A modern EV pioneer, the tiny i-MiEV is based on the petrol Mitsubishi i city car.

If you buy a used Zoe at this price point, it’ll be one of these cars, so you’ll have to sign up to a lease contract to drive the car — Renault told us buyers will need to contact Mobilize Financial Services to arrange the payments, and the cost will depend on the annual mileage.</p> <p>The Zoe itself is a really likeable little car, and though smaller than the Leaf it’s prettier and drives really nicely. However, a fairly shocking zero-star Euro Ncap crash test score in 2021 has worried many, with low scores for adult, child and pedestrian protection. But bear in mind that its main shortcomings were in automatic driver assist tech, as the Zoe doesn’t have features such as auto-emergency braking and lane-keeping assist on the entry-level models that Euro Ncap tests. Renault made these standard after the results in 2021.

That’s F1 technology, meaning reduced weight and extra strength. It also has a cabin that was way ahead of its time in design, and neat rear-hinged back doors allowing easy entry and egress. All of which means it’s already a considered a future classic.</p> <p>The first 2014 models had batteries badged 60Ah (Ampere-hour), which translates into a 22kWh pack that offered a very modest 100-mile range. The REx range-extender is available if you feel like the pure-electric model’s range is too short, although in fact the battery in the REx is even smaller and the petrol engine’s fuel tank is also teeny, so frequent refuels are required either way. It’s also known to be less reliable than the EV if the petrol engine suffers from a lack of use. We still think the i3 is a cracking car, though.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://fave.co/4525JKC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find examples on Auto Trader</a></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1440" height="897" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?w=1024" alt="The best eco-friendly hybrid family cars: Hyundai Ioniq 2018" class="wp-image-67584" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg 1440w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=310,193 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=1024,638 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=620,386 620w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=360,224 360w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=720,448 720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=400,249 400w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/03/Hyundai-Ioniq.jpg?resize=800,498 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hyundai Ioniq</strong></h3> <p><strong>Range when new:</strong> 174 miles (NEDC)</p> <p>If an i3 is the interesting side of EVs, the Ioniq is as plain as they come.

Most EVs should come with charging cables, too. See if you can see it charging.</p> <p>Similar to how petrol engines lose power over time, electric vehicle battery packs start to lose performance. The older an EV is, the less charge the battery may be able to hold. Most manufacturers offer an eight-year warranty for the drive battery that guarantees a capacity of 70 per cent (depending on cover). If it dips below that, then replacement could be possible. </p> <p>Check the predicted range when the car is fully charged, and if possible take it for a short drive to see what happens to the range calculation. If the range is greatly below what you might expect, the battery may be more tired than some other examples, so be prepared to shop around.</p> <p>Thanks to regenerative braking (where the electric motor is used as a generator when lifting off the accelerator, to recover some energy back to the battery and thereby slowing the vehicle down) means there is often less wear on the brakes. However, it’s worth checking these to ensure they haven’t deteriorated through a lack of use; brake discs can warp when not used regularly. </p> <p>One thing that is possible is excessive tyre wear. EVs are relatively heavy, so tyre wear could be higher than for a similar petrol car.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots"/> <p><strong>This article features cars that have been chosen independently by Driving.co.uk journalists, and our opinions are unbiased.
