Electric cars have become the focus of a number of automotive brands here in the UK and with the world\u2019s shift towards green energy, it makes sense. However, while they might be releasing more and more electric models, until recently most of these models have been out of reach for those on stricter budgets. Electric vehicles have been notoriously expensive in comparison to petrol and diesel alternatives and while they\u2019re more cost-effective once they\u2019ve been bought, not everyone can afford the upfront cost or monthly payments to own one. However, with popularity growing and the cost of batteries reducing, more and more manufacturers are starting to reduce the cost of their EVs. some manufacturers are even releasing entry-level EVs with competitive price tags deemed more \u2018affordable\u2019. We\u2019re exploring them below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Auto Express New Car Awards, MG\u2019s ZS EV was named Affordable Electric Car of the Year, with the MG5 EV also commended as one of the best estate vehicles on the market. But these aren\u2019t the only EV models offering quality without a hefty price tag. MG have three EVs and one hybrid vehicle currently available on their site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
