The electric hatchback still looks fresh and modern despite only a minor visual lift. However, doing away with the petrol element entirely has given the i3 a more spacious interior and more room for a larger battery, meaning a stronger mileage range than the original all-electric i3.Renault ZoeRelease Date: Towards the end of 2019Price: TBC but estimated to be around \u00a319,000 Claimed Range: 250 milesRenault proved back in 2012 that electric cars don\u2019t have to carry a hefty price tag with the original Zoe.The second-generation compact supermini will be the first Renault car to use an all-new bespoke EV platform that facilitates greater battery capacity. This larger battery bumps Zoe\u2019s single charge range up to 250 miles. It goes on UK sale some time in August.Kia e-Niro Release Date: April 2019Price: \u00a333,000Claimed Range: 282 milesComing in April, the new e-Niro has a 100kW fast charger that can deliver 80 per cent of the car\u2019s charge in as little as 54 minutes. It should be a zippy thing too, hitting 62mph from rest in 7.8 seconds.Tesla Model 3Release Date: 2019 TBCPrice: TBC but estimated to be around \u00a330,000Claimed Range: 210 or 338 miles depending on modelWe\u2019ve waited long enough for Tesla\u2019s electric executive saloon and more than three years will have passed since its reveal when the Model 3 touches down here in June. That extended wait has donelittle to dilute anticipation and the Model 3 is still expected to be a hugelypopular car, boasting a WLTP-certified range of 338 miles for the Dual MotorLong Range version. That\u2019s the longest range of any electric car. Mercedes-Benz EQCRelease Date: TBC but estimated to be released before Autumn 2019Price: Estimated to be \u00a360,000Claimed Range: 268 miles Merc has toyed with full-blown electric vehicles in the past with the B-Class but the EQC – due July – will be the marque\u2019s first mass-produced EV. Thanks to its premium appeal,the EQC goes up against some high-end electric SUVs, namely the Jaguar I-Paceand Tesla Model X.However, with its 5.1-second 0-62mph sprint and 249-mile range, the EQC shouldn\u2019t have much trouble gathering attention. DS 3 Crossback E-Tense Release Date: Available for order mid-2019Price: \u00a326,000Claimed Range: 180 miles +Another less expensive option for those of uslooking to enter the world of electric car ownership without spending over \u00a340kis the DS3 Crossback E-Tense. It\u2019s a mouthful to say but boy is Citroenproducing some great-looking cars these days. Featuring an ultra-modern design,this full-size SUV will be luxurious and have all the latest tech. Other thanthat, not much else has been said so we\u2019ll just have to wait. We\u2019re hopeful fora 2019 release as they\u2019re taking orders around the middle of this year.
