What’s not so good

Those sharp exterior lines carry on inside, with plush-feeling fabrics and a sleek and stylish dashboard design. The e-208 is fun to drive, too. Advance Payment: £359 - £2,499.

What's good

  • Great electric range
  • Good fun to drive
  • Generous equipment

What’s not so good

  • Other EVs have nicer interiors

  • Quickest charging difficult to achieve
The Hyundai Kona Electric is a great electric SUV that is fun to drive and looks funky inside and out. It comes with a lot of kit like adaptive cruise control and a 10-inch touchscreen in standard trim, which can be had with no down payment.

If you would like the more powerful 201hp version which is capable of doing 301-miles on a charge, you’ll need to pay in an additional £1,099 for the 64kWh Premium trim. Advance Payment: £0 - £1,599.

Black Friday deal

Nissan Leaf review
Battery range up to 239 miles

What's good

  • E+ models have a good range
  • Plenty of clever safety kit
  • Good boot space

What’s not so good

  • Sluggish infotainment system
  • Interior feels a bit cheap in places
  • Alternatives are roomier in the back
The Leaf is an accomplished electric hatchback that will seat four adults comfortably and has a decent 400-litres of boot space. The Motability Scheme offers the 39kWh model in differing trim levels and it will do 168-miles on a charge.

The Leaf delivers strong performance from its 150hp electric motor and has some decent safety kit as standard. You will have to pay in £599 for the base trim, though. Advance Payment: £599 - £2,099.

What's good

  • E+ models have a good range
  • Plenty of clever safety kit

Nissan Ariya review
Battery range up to 330 miles

What's good

  • Stylish inside and out
  • Spacious interior
  • Heat pump comes as standard

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives have more boot space
  • Charging rate isn't that fast
  • Fiddly interior controls
The Ariya is Nissan’s new all-electric SUV, and it comes packed with just about every bit of tech you could imagine. There are six variants of the base Advance trim to choose from, all fitted with the entry-level 216hp electric motor and 63kWh battery pack.

We would stick with the cheapest options here as it still comes with plenty of kit like a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with sat nav, heated steering wheel and fronts seats as well as Nissan’s comprehensive Intelligent Mobility safety suite. Advance Payment: £7,299 - £7,849.

What's good

  • Stylish inside and out
  • Spacious interior
  • Heat pump comes as standard

What’s not so good

  • Alternatives have more boot space
  • Charging rate isn't that fast
  • Fiddly interior controls
Fiat 500e

5. Fiat 500 Electric

Black Friday deal
7/10
Fiat 500e review
Battery range up to 195 miles

What's good

  • Head-turning looks
  • Nippy performance in town
  • Cool and practical cabin up front...

What’s not so good

  • ...but the rear seats are cramped
  • Uncomfortable over bumps
  • The boot is small and not practical
The Fiat 500 Electric may have similar retro exterior look to its petrol sibling, but it’s a whole new car underneath. Inside, you get a totally redesigned cockpit with some upmarket materials, and there’s even a cabrio model.

Stick to the base 94hp Action trim and it’ll get you 118-miles between charges, all without having to make an advance payment. Higher trims deliver 117hp and can do up to 199-miles on a charge, but you’ll have to pay in an additional £1,195 for the top-spec La Prima Cabrio model. Advance Payment: £0 - £1,195.

Vauxhall Mokka Electric

Vauxhall Mokka Electric review
Battery range up to 252 miles

What's good

  • Looks much better than the old car
  • Decent interior quality
  • Respectable official 209-mile range

What’s not so good

  • Cramped rear seats
  • Alternatives trump it for boot space
  • Infotainment could be more responsive
The Vauxhall Mokka-e is a great choice if you like the idea of the Corsa-e, but prefer a higher driving position and a bit more practicality. It comes with the same 134kW electric motor and 50kWh battery pack as the Corsa-e, and offers similar performance but a slightly lower 209-miles of range in mixed driving.

You get a bigger 350-litre boot, though, and the base trim can be had with no advance payment. Advance Payment: £0 - £299.

What's good

  • Looks much better than the old car
  • Decent interior quality
  • Respectable official 209-mile range

What’s not so good

  • Cramped rear seats
  • Alternatives trump it for boot space
  • Infotainment could be more responsive

Citroen e-C4 review
Battery range up to 260 miles

What's good

  • Distinctive looks
  • 100kW charging is standard
  • Same space inside as regular C4

What’s not so good

  • Modest real-world range
  • Not that affordable
  • Lots of body roll in the bends
The Citroen E-C4 offers a laid-back driving experience with a comfortable ride and stylish good looks. The 50kWh battery should get you 218-miles between charges, and while you do have to pay in £1,295 for the Shine Plus trim currently available on the Motability Scheme, it comes packed with kit.

Standard features include electric leather seats, wireless phone charging and a premium stereo system. Advance Payment: £1,295.

What's good

  • Distinctive looks
  • 100kW charging is standard
  • Same space inside as regular C4

What’s not so good

  • Modest real-world range
  • Not that affordable
  • Lots of body roll in the bends
Vauxhall Corsa Electric (2019-2023)
Battery range up to 222 miles

What's good

  • Up-to-222-mile range
  • Generous amount of kit
  • Smart design

What’s not so good

  • Similar Peugeot e-208 is more striking
  • Space in the back isn’t great
  • Interior could look more exciting
The Vauxhall Corsa-e offers a decent level of standard equipment, and it will do 222-miles between charges on its 50kWh battery pack. If you need to go further, a rapid public charger will get you from 0% - 80% in just 30 minutes.

You either pay nothing extra or a small £99 one-off advance payment depending on the trim you pick. It’s not the most spacious in the back but will seat two teenagers without issue. Advance Payment: £0 - £99.

What's good

  • Up-to-222-mile range
  • Generous amount of kit
  • Smart design

What’s not so good

  • Similar Peugeot e-208 is more striking
  • Space in the back isn’t great
  • Interior could look more exciting
Honda e

9. Honda E

6/10
Honda e review
Battery range up to 131 miles

What's good

  • Quirky looks
  • Unique interior
  • Agility in town

What’s not so good

  • Expensive
  • Range is poor
  • Small luggage space
The Honda E may have a relatively low range of 137 miles (official), but if most of your journeys are short, it’s a truly characterful car. The huge wraparound digital dash (which includes displays for the cameras that replace traditional wing mirrors) is a key talking point, while the rest of the interior features thoughtfully chosen materials.

The E is also great fun to drive, with sharp steering, a nippy, agile nature, and a 0-62mph time of just 8.3 seconds. Advance Payment: £5,999.

What's good

  • Quirky looks
  • Unique interior
  • Agility in town

What’s not so good

  • Expensive
  • Range is poor
  • Small luggage space

If you need a lot of space and practicality, the Citroen e-Berlingo is a great option. It can be had in standard and extended wheelbase sizes, in five, seven, eight or even nine seat configurations.

All get the same 134hp electric motor and 50kWh battery which will deliver around 170 miles of range. The advance payment quickly escalates if you opt for the largest model, so make sure you need the space before ticking that box. Advance Payment: £2,496 - £7,895.

Advice about Motability cars

Electric Motability cars FAQs

There are 19 different electric vehicles available to lease on the Motability Scheme. Most are available in a range of different trim levels, which if included bring the total up to 49. Manufacturers include MINI, Fiat, Citroen, Hyundai, Smart, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Honda and Nissan.

Not at the moment. The range of electric cars available on the Motability scheme is constantly expanding, so it may be included in the future. Expect to make a hefty advance payment for one, though.

The Motability car must be used in such a way that it will benefit the person receiving disability benefit it is registered to. Up to three named drivers on the primary driver’s Certificate of Motor Insurance may also use the car, but they must only do so if it benefits the disabled person.

Misusing the car may result in the lease being terminated and could prevent you from getting another Motability vehicle.

Yes. You can get cars like the Fiat 500 Electric, Vauxhall Mokka-e and Vauxhall Corsa-e with no deposit through Motability. It’s worth noting that opting for higher trim levels may require you to make a once-off payment before delivery.
