Cost-effective EVs are rare but growing in number. Here are the 10 cheapest on sale in the UK today

For years, the barrier to electric car entry for many drivers has been their high list prices, but it’s fair to say that EV prices are becoming more accessible than ever in 2025. 

Cheaper options are becoming more commonplace. Prices are gradually lowering to a point where the cheapest EVs on sale today are now priced as low as some of the most affordable ICE models. 

Several models on the market don’t require deep pockets, with brands including Dacia, Citroën and Renault all having introduced entry-level, affordable EVs over the past couple of years. 

Some EVs dropped below £30,000 a few years ago, and prices are falling further. Some new options cost less than £25,000 and a few are below £20,000.

Today, the cheapest electric ‘car’ in the UK is the Citroën Ami, priced at £7695. We say ‘car’ in inverted commas here because it’s actually a quadricycle. The cheapest proper electric car is the Dacia Spring, at £16,995. 

But which other EVs fall into the top 10 of the cheapest on sale today? Read our continuously updated list here.
