Good news: the Electric Car Grant has returned! As surely everyone is thinking, ain\u2019t no party like an ECG party. And like all good ECG parties, this one comes with fun like: rules! Stipulations! Eligibility criteria!<\/p>\n

The government of the United Kingdom has introduced two bands in order to obtain this ECG: Band 1, which offers a chunky \u00a33,750 discount for those cars with the lowest CO2 manufacturing<\/em> footprint, and Band 2, which offers a less large \u00a31,500 discount for those cars above a certain threshold.<\/p>\n

The government of the United Kingdom has not yet confirmed what those thresholds are, but after a slow start we’re now seeing electric cars that do actually qualify for the full fat \u00a33,750 discount.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a big list of every car that gets at least some money off…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

The hot version of the new Renault 5 supermini.<\/p>\n

How much of the grant applies?<\/h3>\n

\u00a33,750.<\/p>\n

So what does it cost after the grant?<\/h3>\n

From \u00a330,245.<\/p>\n

What do you think of it?<\/h3>\n

It’s a very different experience to hot Clios of old, but still a good one\u2026 there\u2019s a sense of humour, good looks, usable performance, gadgets to play with and it\u2019s well priced. Even better priced as of December 2025 in fact, because it now gets the full-fat \u00a33,750 grant.<\/p>\n

\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Good question. It\u2019s still a hatchback, but slightly taller. Not tall enough to be an SUV, and too sleek of boot to be a crossover.<\/p>\n

From \u00a327,215.<\/p>\n

What do you think of it?<\/h3>\n

Could do with a slightly firmer setup for better body control: the extra weight (over 200kg vs the hybrid) means it suffers from a bounce and a wallowyness that isn\u2019t there in the hybrids.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you actually want a car with such self-conscious styling is a question that comes up with any DS model. But with the 4, we think it’s easier to want than the others. And that styling wraps a properly competitive car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Given the Puma Gen-E was a late afterthought on Ford\u2019s not-that-grand electrification plan \u2013 cobbled together on the hop and delivered three years after it was teased \u2013 it\u2019s turned out remarkably well.

It can\u2019t just be us thinking that the Tourneo Courier is now a genuinely cool little car. Yes, it\u2019s based on a van, but that bluff front end and the Active trim\u2019s chunky styling makes it look like a proper rufty-tufty MPV.<\/p>\n

The EV4 is pretty well priced for the range, equipment and space, so that’s a good start. It’s not quite as affordable as the MG4, but it feels much more premium and goes further on a charge.<\/p>\n

It’s also a car with a really soothing nature. The soft ride and great refinement carry you the distance with no bother. You’re never going to get frustrated with the control system.<\/p>\n

This is another immensely impressive entry from a brand that can do little wrong of late. We\u2019ll leave it to more sensible people to assess how the PV5 fares as a commercial vehicle but as a big family car, it\u2019s compelling: refined, interesting and preposterously spacious.<\/p>\n

It’s like the Leaf has skipped an entire generation. It shows all the progress that it needed to, and more. It’s now up there with the best EVs in the class for all the measures of electric-drive competence \u2013 range, efficiency and charging. It does well as a family car, with plenty of space and practicality, but more than that, the Leaf actually drives likeably. Literally as well as visually, it’s a well-rounded and finessed car.<\/p>\n

This Micra is a cynically rebadged Renault with apparently no input from Nissan. Where\u2019s all that innovation gone, that experience with electric powertrains? You won\u2019t be unhappy if you buy one of these Micras, but the only reason not to get the R5 is if you specifically don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n

What do you think of it?<\/h3>\n

If we were to get philosophical here, we\u2019d question how compatible the big push for sustainability is with the new Countryman\u2019s ballooning proportions. Or the Mini\u2019s treasured fun-to-drive character. Clearly, a two-tonne Mini almost-SUV isn\u2019t going to handle like a go-kart, but the Countryman SE All4 is surprisingly entertaining to drive all the same.<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Closely related to the wonderful Renault 5 EV, but with an 8cm longer wheelbase. That’s why it’s a little more expensive than the R5, even if their names might make you think the prices are the other way around.<\/p>\n

We got into it early, when the prices, let alone finance rates, hadn’t been set out. So examine the stickers and monthlies carefully versus the opposition.<\/p>\n

On the upside, the C-HR+ is a competent but not standout EV when you check the battery capacity and range. But Toyota has learned from the 2020 bZ4x, improving efficiency, and also range prediction and winter charging speed. It should make good use of every kWh.<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s Vauxhall\u2019s hard-working van, but now with added seats in the back.<\/p>\n
