As we get closer to the planned 2035 ban on sales of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to become increasingly mainstream. 

With the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate - demanding car makers sell an increasing share of EVs each year - now in effect, manufacturers are being forced to launch new, more affordable, models for us to consider.

And some will be here in the coming weeks and months.

So, which are the best EVs arriving in the UK this year? We've rounded up our top 10 EVs to keep your eye out for.

1. Kia EV3 


Price: approx £28,500



Range: approx 300 miles






Kia unveiled two new electric SUVs at the same time, but the smaller and more affordable EV3 is the concept that's got our interest, with it set to take over from the now discontinued Soul EV





The interior of the new Kia EV3 is one of the biggest talking points. It follows Kia's sustainable ethos of using recycled materials wherever possible, and this car will even have materials grown from mushrooms too

Kia has become a major player in the electric market with models such as the award-winning EV6. 

Now it's targeting the smaller - and hopefully cheaper - end of the EV market in 2024 by bringing a baby SUV to showrooms - the Kia EV3. One of three concepts debuted in 2023, the EV3 will be the first to go into production this year.

Priced from around £28,500, it will likely replace the discontinued - and dated - Kia Soul EV. 

There are styling links to the Soul and obvious similarities with the forthcoming and bigger electric cars, the EV5 and EV9. The boxy shape has sharp lines and smooth body lines, and it hits the modern rugged look.

A lot of focus is on the sustainable interior with materials grown from mushrooms and natural fibre weaves.

Range and power output are yet to be released but considering the EV3 will be built on Hyundai-Kia electric car platform - E-GMP - you can probably expect 58kWh and 77kWh batteries with the most powerful offering around 300 miles of range.

2. Dacia Spring 


Price: from £14,995 



Range: 137 miles






Britain's cheapest electric car... and by some margin: Dacia has confirmed its new Spring EV (pictured) will start from £14,995 in the UK. That's almost half the price of the next most affordable battery-powered car in UK showrooms today

Sticking with the affordable EV theme, the Dacia Spring is set to become the cheapest EV sold in Britain. And by quite some margin, too.

Confirmed to be starting from £14,995, the Spring will be almost half the price of the UK's current cheapest EV, the MG4.

The brand is known for its budget-friendly motors but the Spring is so inexpensive it's going to be the sixth cheapest motor in the UK taking into account all fuel types.

The 26.8kWh battery will produce two power outputs - 45 or 65hp, and range will be about 137 miles. 

This little car - it's essentially supermini size - will be suited for city driving, with a 308-litre boot and handy bi-directional charging.

It's set to shake up the EV arena drastically, forcing other EV manufacturers to reduce the prices they're charging. 

3. Fiat Topolino 


Price: approx £8,500



Range: 47 miles










This has to be the cutest new car arriving in 2024. While it's not technically a 'car' - it's a quadricycle - Fiat's Topolino will come as two variants, one of which has no doors ad an attachment for a mobile shower hose
