As of January 2024, the average price of a brand-new electric car in the UK is £50,873.
The cheapest electric car currently available in the UK is the Citroën Ami. Prices start from just £7,695.
The cheapest available electric car used to be the Skoda Citigoe IV at £15,000, but this was discontinued in 2021.
The most expensive electric car currently available in the UK is the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. Prices start from £129,470.
Some cars, notably the Porsche Taycan, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Audi e-Tron GT, have trim levels that cost more than £129,470. However, you can buy the base model for less than the standard ESQ SUV, so they aren’t included in this calculation.
The most expensive electric car available is the Aspark Owl. This limited-edition hyper car costs a staggering £2.68 million and only 50 models will be built.
As with any vehicle, the costs don’t stop after you have bought the car.
Maintenance
Although an EV has fewer moving parts, it will still require regular servicing and maintenance. EVs still need MOTs, services, and regular repairs, such as brake pad and disc replacements and wheel alignments. There are several myths surrounding EV maintenance – we have debunked them here.
You will need to insure your EV to make sure everything will be covered in the case of an accident. Like ICE cars, the cost of your car insurance will vary dependant on a number of factors – such as your age, your job, and where you live.
While you don’t need to buy petrol, you will have to factor the cost of charging into the cost of your electric car. You will need an EV Energy Tariff, which will offer you cheap hours of electricity you can use to charge your EV for cheaper.
A brand new Vauxhall Corsa will cost you £19,275, whereas the electric version will set you back £32,445. Why is this? There are several reasons why electric cars can cost more than their ICE equivalents:
The cost of the battery
The cost to insure your EV
The supply doesn’t meet the demand just yet
The economy of scale
While the car themselves are more expensive, you could end up saving money in the long run with reduced running costs.
