Top five affordable EVs and Hybrids

For many of us, the transition to an electric vehicle is being put off due to the perceived associated costs that come with it, not the mention the price of the actual vehicle. But what if we told you that not all electric cars have to come with a hefty price tag?

There’s a range of car brands who have entered the EV market at a modest pricing point, and we’ve rounded up our top five affordable electric and hybrid vehicles.
