The cheapest electric cars in 2026 make environmentally friendly driving available to a wider audience
Dacia Spring: the cheapest electric car
Below we list the Top 10 cheapest electric cars in the UK in 2026.
The Dacia Spring remains in a class of its own, sitting well below £15,000 and leaving all its rivals behind on price. Beyond that, prices are falling fast – several EVs now sit under £22,000, which would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
Nonetheless, the most affordable electric car need not break the bank, especially if you seek out a low-cost lease from a competitive broker.
While some of the very cheapest EVs still have limited range on a single charge, others are offering significantly above 150 miles of real-world range. This will be ample for most daily commutes and weekend trips.
