Be The Change
These are the best EVs that effortlessly will fit into everyday life and carry the family and its paraphernalia.
This is a list of our top 10 electric cars for families at the more affordable end of the market, compiled considering factors such as range, usability, driving dynamics and value for money. Some EVs are still subject to relatively high prices compared with combustion-engined cars, but their premiums can be offset against lower running costs.

The Kia EV6 is one of the most exiting EVs to come out and is garnering a huge amount of attention. Both the Hyundai IONIQ5 and the EV6 are based on the same E-GMP dedicated electric vehicle platform, and have broadly similar specifications. But there is quite a difference in styling.

The all-new Kia EV6 has a bold design, sustainable interior, and rapid charging. And DW reviewer Emmanuel Schäfer likes it. And despite its cost, Schäfer concludes the EV6 is “definitely worth a buy.”
The KIa EV6 was recently crowned the 2022 German Premium Car of the Year.

Kia EV6
Kia UK has recorded its best-ever October sales, according to new registrations data released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Kia registered 7,436 vehicles in October 2021, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.1 percent over October 2020. 22.8 percent of these sales (1,699 units) were fully electric, boosted thanks to the first customer deliveries of the Kia EV6 (349 units). With sales of the e-Niro, Soul EV and EV6 combined, Kia topped the United Kingdom’s monthly EV sales charts in October.
So far this year, Kia has sold 81,532 units in the UK, with battery electric vehicles (BEV) accounting for 14.4 percent of the brand’s total sales this year (11,762 units). Kia UK’s year-to-date sales are 28.9 percent higher than the same period in 2020, and only 5.6 percent off the same period in 2019, the brand’s best-selling year on record.
The Kia Niro family (including Self-Charging Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and e-Niro models) was the brand’s best-selling model in the UK in October, with 2,479 units sold in total.
Paul Philpott, President and CEO of Kia UK Limited, said »
October has been another strong month for Kia sales volumes, particularly for our growing line-up of battery EVs. With a strong bank of more than 1,600 pre-orders, we were particularly excited to deliver our first EV6 orders to UK customers in October – a milestone which enabled our dealers to boost our EV sales to new heights.
Kia tops the sales list for electric cars in October, as the first deliveries of the new Kia EV6 add to Kia’s other BEV sales.
The Kia EV6 looks to be a very appealing start to Kia’s move in to delivering EVs based on a proper EV platform, and October saw the start of deliveries in the UK.
Kia managed to deliver 369 EV6s, from an order bank of some 1,600, in October which, added to sales of other BEVs in the Kia range, saw Kia head up the BEV sales chart in the UK.
Add together those EV6 deliveries with deliveries of the e-Niro and Soul EV and Kia managed to deliver 1,699 EVs – some 22.8 per cent of its total sale – in October.
