Best used electric cars in UK: top 10 second-hand EVs for sale in 2023 – including Tesla, Kia, BMW, VW models

From small EVs to electric SUVs there’s now a used electric car with a price and range to suit most drivers

The surge towards electric cars is gathering pace as every week seesms to bring the announcement of another new EV from a major brand.

In 2022 sales jumped by 40% compared with the previous year and EVs overtook diesel models to become the second best-selling powertrain after petrol for the first time.

Despite concerns around public charging costs, the prospect of low running costs and cleaner motoring is attracting drivers.
