Autocar picks it’s top 10 small EVs for 2021

Mini Electric

Admittedly, a small platform means less space for batteries and so the range of the following cars will never match the potential of larger alternatives. But a small battery also means a lower asking price, and if we’re talking about urban runabouts that do only the occasional longer journey, it’s arguable just how many owners would need more than, say, 180 miles of driving range.

  1. Peugeot e-208
  2. Fiat 500 Electric
  3. Vauxhall Corsa-e
  4. Renault Zoe
  5. Mini Electric
  6. BMW i3S
  7. Honda E
  8. Mazda MX-30
  9. Volkswagen e-Up
  10. DS 3 Crossback E-Tense

Only two of these small EVs are available to the North America market, the Mini Electric and the Mazda MX-30.

Cars already know how to park themselves, warn drowsy drivers, steer back into the right lanes and propose map routes to destinations. The cars Mazda has in the works for next year in Japan know when drivers have a stroke or heart attack.

By 2025, the cars will even know when drivers are about to have a sudden health problem and warn them, according to the Japanese automaker.

What’s involved are data from cameras inside the car, without resorting to laser sensors or other more obtrusive technology. And it’s going to be offered in affordable models, not just luxury vehicles. The technology holds promise for one of the most advanced aging societies in the world.
