This Electric Car Is Now The UK's Cheapest Car

Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

The Dacia Spring EV is now the cheapest car available for purchase in the UK at £11,990 ($13,700), undercutting all petrol-powered vehicles (the cheapest non-EV is the £14,765 petrol Dacia Sandero). The Leapmotor T03 is the second-cheapest at £12,995 ($17,400). Both offer over 140 miles of range and basic features including touchscreens.

Worth noting

These are base-model vehicles with minimal features and modest range; broader affordability depends on continued cost reductions across the EV market and sustained demand.
