Vauxhall Corsa Electric Hatchback

A familiar supermini shape hides an all-electric drivetrain, making this a comfortable step into EV ownership for anyone who already knows the Corsa from years on UK roads. It suits city commuters and small families who want easy parking and light, predictable handling rather than outright space. WLTP range on the entry GS Line derivative is 220 miles, and the battery accepts rapid DC charging at up to 100kW, so a motorway top-up from low charge to 80 per cent takes around half an hour. Boot space is modest at 267 litres, adequate for a weekly shop or a couple of soft bags rather than a full family holiday. Euro NCAP awarded the current Corsa four stars, and its light, nimble steering makes it one of the easier electric cars to thread through narrow streets.
