Is 2026 finally the year the "Electric Car for Everyone" arrives? (Open Until 23:55 20 Jan 2026)For years, the biggest complaint I’ve heard about BEVs is the price tag. But look around—the landscape has changed. With the new Kia EV2 and Renault 5 now in showrooms for under £25k, the 'price gap' with petrol cars is almost gone. But is a lower price enough to make you jump? I want to know what the real deal-breaker is for you now that the cars are actually affordable.
