One of our favourite small electric cars, with a stylish interior and a good range
HONDA E
1 Physical switches and dials for the climate control are not only easy to use but also operate with slick precision
2 There’s a three-pin socket and an HDMI port for showing movies or playing games via the infotainment screen
3 Digital screens for the door mirrors take a while to get used to, but they’re well positioned and work well in low light
PEUGEOT E-208
1 Adjusting the temperature while you’re driving can be tricky, because the controls are on the touchscreen
2 Some drivers will find that the steering wheel blocks their view of the instruments if they set it at a comfortable height
3 Eclectic mixture of materials looks good, but the plastics found lower down don’t feel as robust as the Honda’s
IF YOU’RE KEEN to join the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, you’ll need an awful lot of money to buy even the smallest new model. If you buy used, though, someone else absorbs the initial sting of depreciation, so even the most popular and desirable modern motors can be had for rather less than you’ll pay for a new one.
