There are now over 100 electric car models available to purchase in the UK, and this number continues to grow as manufacturers push to meet a government mandate requiring 22 percent of all new car sales to be electric this year.
This percentage will rise to 28 percent in 2025 and 52 percent by 2028, driving the continuous introduction of new electric models.
In addition to this, electric car prices are on a downward trend.
They are no longer solely confined to the luxury market; while you can still spend upwards of six figures on an electric vehicle (EV), there are genuinely affordable options priced under £20,000, such as the Dacia Spring.
In the coming months, we’ll see additional small EVs entering the market, including the retro-inspired Renault 5 and its sportier sibling, the Alpine A290.
Another exciting development is the imminent launch of the first fully electric Range Rover, expected to arrive soon. Jaguar is also preparing to introduce an entirely new family of electric cars by 2026.
Additionally, other EVs on the horizon include the Polestar 4 (which we’ve already driven), the Alfa Romeo Junior, the Kia EV3, and the Mini Aceman, which we’ll soon have the opportunity to test drive.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most notable electric cars set to launch in the next few months.
This article will be updated regularly to track the latest electric vehicles and will include reviews as soon as we have the chance to test them.
1. Abarth 600e
- Expected price: Around £40,000
- Launch date: Late 2024
Abarth has a long tradition of adding style and performance to the more modest offerings of its parent brand, Fiat.
This year marks 75 years since Abarth’s establishment, and to celebrate, the company will introduce its second all-electric model. Based on the Fiat 600e, the Abarth 600e is a sporty electric crossover aimed at the Ford Puma ST.
The Abarth 600e will boast a 237 bhp output from a single electric motor, making it significantly more powerful than the 153 bhp Fiat 600e on which it is based.
While it will likely feature the same 51 kWh battery as the Fiat, its range may fall slightly short of the 252 miles offered by the standard 600e. Notable features include a limited-slip differential and performance-oriented tires.
Like the Abarth 500e, the Abarth 600e will include an external sound generator to make pedestrians aware that it is indeed an Abarth and not just a regular Fiat.
Fortunately, Abarth has stated that this system will be easier to deactivate compared to the 500e’s sound system, which required going through a submenu.
2. Alpine A110 EV
- Expected price: TBC
- Launch date: 2026
Alpine is set to release an electric successor to its iconic A110 sports car in 2026. T
he new electric A110 will likely retain design elements from the classic A110 as well as the current-generation sports car, which revives the spirit of the 1960s French sports car of the same name.
The new model will maintain Alpine’s focus on lightweight performance, but it will be fully electric.
It’s expected that the car will retain a distinctive four-light design at the front, shared with the electric Alpine A290.
The new A110 will likely face competition from the upcoming electric Porsche Cayman and an electric version of the Toyota MR2, known as the FT-Se. However, specific details about the car are yet to be confirmed.
3. Audi A6 e-tron
- Expected price: From £69,900
- Launch date: Autumn 2024
Audi is expanding its electric e-tron lineup with the introduction of the A6 and sportier S6.
Both will be offered in saloon or estate versions and will use the same platform as the Audi Q6 e-tron and Porsche Macan. These vehicles will come with a 100 kWh battery and utilize 800-volt architecture.
Starting at a price of approximately £55,000 and going upwards of £80,000, the A6 promises a maximum range of 435 miles.
Its fast-charging capability of up to 270 kW means the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 20 minutes, provided a compatible charger is available.
The A6 range will begin with a rear-wheel-drive, single-motor model offering 362 bhp and a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 5.4 seconds.
Meanwhile, the quicker S6 will feature a second motor for all-wheel-drive, an output of over 540 bhp, and an impressive 0-62 mph time of just under four seconds.
4. Bentley Luxury Urban SUV
Bentley has yet to reveal the name of its first all-electric car, but it has confirmed that the vehicle will debut in 2026.
This new electric car is described as a “Luxury Urban SUV,” set to be built in Britain and expected to go on sale in 2027, a year after its official reveal.
The first design sketch released by Bentley shows a vehicle that bears a resemblance to the current Bentayga SUV, which is already available as a plug-in hybrid.
Bentley has delayed its goal of becoming a fully electric car company, moving its initial target from 2030 to 2035.
Bentley CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser has acknowledged that the move to develop the brand’s first EV is being driven in part by legislative changes rather than customer demand, with the hope that the car will attract a new customer base.
5. BMW ‘Neue Klasse’
- Expected price: Unknown for now
- Launch date: 2025
Although still concept vehicles for now, BMW’s Neue Klasse family, including the concept “Neue Klasse X,” promises exciting developments in the coming years.
The Neue Klasse concept is expected to evolve into a saloon car about the same size as the 3-Series, while the Neue Klasse X will likely be an SUV.
BMW has called the Neue Klasse project its “largest single investment” in the company’s history. The vehicles will usher in an entirely electric future for the brand.
They will incorporate an 800-volt architecture and offer three battery sizes: 75, 90, and 105 kWh.
BMW has also promised these future vehicles will sport cleaner, simpler designs compared to the brand’s current offerings when they enter production in 2025.
6. DS 8
- Expected price: TBC
- Launch date: Early 2025
DS Automobiles provided a teaser for an upcoming electric vehicle (EV) in November 2024. The car remains unnamed—deliberately so, as the accompanying press release was cryptically vague and full of intentional omissions.
This four-door EV boasts a claimed range of 466 miles, placing it as the second-longest range vehicle of any EV currently available in the UK.
This puts it ahead of the Volkswagen ID.7 (436 miles) but just behind the current leader, the 481-mile Mercedes EQS 450+.
The new vehicle is expected to be called the DS 8 and is anticipated to compete with models like the Vauxhall Grandland and Peugeot e-3008. DS Automobiles plans to fully reveal the car by the end of this year.
7. Fiat Topolino
- Expected price: Around £9,000
- Launch date: 2024
Here’s something entirely different—a true breath of fresh air in the EV market. If you’re familiar with the Citroen Ami, this is essentially an Italian take on that same concept.
Fiat’s version adds style, Italian charm, and a very retro vibe, featuring a quirky design.
The car has an open-top roof, a fresh mint-green paint job, and unique rope-like substitutes for doors, reminiscent of something you might encounter at a chic beachside café.
Though it may not be entirely suitable for UK driving conditions, it’s a bold demonstration of what EVs could look like when stepping outside the conventional design box.
With a 5.5 kWh battery, the Fiat Topolino has 47 miles of range, produces 8 bhp, and achieves a maximum speed of 28 mph.
Other standout features include stylish seat covers that double as beach towels. While this model may sound minimalistic, it exudes character and an aspirational lifestyle vibe. Expected pricing is about £8,000.
8. Ford E-Transit Custom
- Price: £45,000 (ex VAT)
- Launch date: Late 2024
The iconic Ford Transit has been a cornerstone of British commercial life for years, earning the title of the UK’s best-selling van.
Now going electric, the Ford E-Transit Custom will retain the utility and functionality of its traditional counterparts while embracing electrification.
The van promises a targeted range of between 163 to 209 miles and can tow up to 2.3 tonnes, with a maximum gross payload of 1,088 kg, Ford has stated.
The E-Transit Custom offers quick charging as well—it can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 39 minutes, depending on the available charger.
Additionally, it includes an impressive 2.3 kW power supply, allowing it to run lights, tools, laptops, and other devices.
Tech-focused features include a 360-degree camera, 5G connectivity, and a 13-inch touchscreen, which runs on Ford’s intuitive SYNC operating system.
Pricing is expected to start between £40,000 and £45,000, excluding VAT.
9. Hyundai Ioniq 9
- Price: Around £65,000
- Launch date: 2025
Hyundai introduced its new Ioniq 9, a seven-seat electric SUV, in November. The vehicle is expected to go on sale in the UK in 2025, sharing its electric platform with its sister vehicle, the Kia EV9.
The Ioniq 9 will feature a three-row seating design with seven full-size seats, while standout design elements include Hyundai’s signature Parametric Pixel LED lighting at both the front and rear, paired with an innovative “aerosthetic” body style.
The sleek design emphasizes smooth bodywork and a sloping roofline, giving the vehicle a more compact aesthetic than its dimensions suggest.
The Ioniq 9 will also feature an optional six-seat version with two rotating individual seats in the middle row.
This allows passengers in the second and third rows to face each other, enhancing comfort and versatility. Pricing is expected to start at around £65,000.
10. Jaguar
- Expected price: Around £100,000
- Launch date: 2026
Jaguar is currently at an interesting crossroads. The company is set to stop producing all of its current vehicles, including the electric I-Pace, by the end of 2024.
This marks a clean slate as Jaguar plans to completely reinvent itself by focusing on a new electric future.
The company has committed to this reset strategy by halting production entirely until 2026, when it will launch an all-new range of electric vehicles.
This is akin to Glastonbury taking a “fallow year”—a period of downtime while reimagining its future.
The first new EV under this strategy is expected to be a high-end four-door GT priced at approximately £100,000, with features that include a claimed 400-mile range, two electric motors, and nearly 600 horsepower.
Following this flagship model, Jaguar will also introduce a luxury SUV and a high-end saloon, intended to compete with brands like Bentley.
This new strategy represents a significant gamble for Jaguar, especially given its history of struggling to maintain competitiveness compared to its sister brands, Land Rover and Range Rover.
The journey into this new electric future began with the dramatic Type 00 concept, which was revealed in December in Miami.
11. Kia EV3
- Expected price: From £33,000
- Launch date: Late 2024
Kia has an impressive lineup of electric vehicles, and expectations are high for the upcoming Kia EV3. Scheduled to launch later in 2024, the EV3 will slot into Kia’s range below the larger EV9, the mid-size EV6, and the recently revealed EV5.
It will use the same E-GMP electric platform as other Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis electric vehicles, which means it will benefit from the same 800-volt system for rapid charging.
Kia has stated that the production car will closely resemble the concept it revealed in 2023. Despite its compact size, it promises practicality and a spacious interior.
The EV3 will feature an 81.4 kWh battery, which provides a range of up to 372 miles, and achieves a 0-62 mph time of 7.5 seconds. Additionally, its 10 to 80 percent charge time is approximately 30 minutes, making it efficient for longer journeys.
A more affordable version is also anticipated, expected to be priced just under £30,000, with a 58.3 kWh battery offering an estimated range of about 255 miles.
Both versions will utilize a single motor producing 201 bhp, with power sent to the front wheels.
12. Lotus Emeya
- Price: From £94,950
- Launch date: Second half of 2024
The Lotus Emeya is the saloon counterpart to the Lotus Eletre SUV and is positioned to compete with the likes of the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron GT, and Jaguar’s upcoming electric offerings in 2026.
Starting at £94,950, with the range-topping R variant priced at £129,950, the Emeya boasts impressive stats.

13. Maserati MC20 Folgore
An electric version of the Maserati MC20 supercar is due in 2025.
- Price: Around £300,000
- Launch date: 2025
Electric supercars are a niche but growing segment of the market, and Maserati is preparing to enter the scene with the MC20 Folgore.
The Italian brand has been clear about its interest in electrification, with this new electric supercar anticipated to arrive in 2025.
The MC20 Folgore will be a battery-powered variant of the existing MC20, a two-seat supercar that currently uses a V6 engine.
Though details about the electric version remain scarce, it is expected to adopt a similar three-motor setup as the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore.
The electric MC20 is expected to weigh close to the standard V6-powered version, despite being fully electric.

- Launch date: 2025 or 2026
MG has made a name for itself by combining style with affordability in its electric vehicle lineup.
Alongside its successful Cyberster, a well-regarded two-seat sports car with scissor-style doors and a fold-down roof, MG is now preparing to introduce its next exciting concept—the Cyber GTS.
The Cyber GTS is a hard-topped coupe counterpart to the Cyberster, first revealed as a concept to celebrate MG’s 100th birthday at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
At the same event, MG demonstrated a moving prototype, suggesting it’s serious about turning this concept into a production vehicle.

15. Mini Aceman
- Price: £31,800
- Launch date: November 2024
The Mini Aceman represents the latest addition to the Mini lineup and is an exciting new all-electric option in their range.
Designed to fit between the three-door Mini Cooper hatchback and the larger Countryman SUV, it marks the first Mini to be available exclusively as an electric vehicle, as other Mini models still offer traditional engines.
