Electric Car Comparisons

The following table provides an at a glance comparison of electric cars available in the UK.  Please note some of these electric cars are available now while others will be made available in the UK over the next few years (as detailed in the UK Availability Column).  The electric car market is moving rapidly and more and more cars are coming on stream to sit alongside established models like the G-Wiz

We like to see new electric cars coming to the UK!  While there is definitely a strong element of competition, new models add to the growing market which is just starting to offer a bit of consumer choice.  From the big family electric car (ZeCar and Quiet Car2), small urban  runabout (Mega City and MyCar) and commercial vans (ZeVan and Mega Multitruck) to the performance sportscar (Roadster). 

We love them all but we realise you might want to compare them.  In the table below you can see how current electric cars compare (it's alphabetical by default but you can also filter the columns how you like).
