The 21 worst electric cars on sale

by R.Donald


We’ll apologise now, because it’s another run of Stellantis and Stellantis adjacent electric van MPVs. Again, it’s the Toyota that comes out on top. The Toyota Proace Verso Electric has a superior five-year warranty as standard, with service-activated cover of up to 10 years. All of these vans also have a bigger battery than before.

The Omoda E5 is an underwhelming small electric SUV that’s too expensive to buy

  • Price (from): £34,555
  • Powertrain: 61.1kWh battery, 1x e-motor
  • Power/torque: 183bhp/340Nm
  • 0-62mph/top speed: 7.2 seconds/107mph
  • Range: 257 miles
  • Charging: 80kW (30-80% in 28 minutes)
  • Class: Small SUV

Like the Jaecoo E5, this is one of a few cars that make it feel like Omoda et al aren’t that bothered about selling EVs. While the hybrid and plug-in hybrid Omoda 5 models are outrageous bargains, the Omoda E5 is expensive and doesn’t have a single stand-out attribute. And the wheelspin is ridiculous.

149. Mercedes EQV

The EQV is a decent enough luxury MPV, but wait for its VLE replacement

  • Price (from): £93,025
  • Powertrain: 90kWh battery, 1x e-motor
  • Power/torque: 201bhp/365Nm
  • 0-62mph/top speed: 12.1 seconds/87mph
  • Range: 226 miles
  • Charging: 110kW (10-80% in 40 minutes)
  • Class: MPV

Another large electric MPV based on a van, but this one’s much posher. In fact, as a luxury, van-derived seven-seater, the Mercedes EQV is quite a niche, so you don’t have a lot of choice if that’s what you’re after. You do, though, have the option of waiting for the all-new Mercedes VLE

Practical, but expensive, there’s no getting away from the E-Traveller’s van origins
