Nissan Leaf

The second-generation Nissan Leaf is an evolution of the original that launched Nissan onto the electric-car scene. The 40kWh battery gives an official range of 168 miles – and around 160 in the real world. You can charge the battery to 80% in 40 minutes from a rapid charger. The car has a roomy interior and a big boot, as well as some of the advanced semi-autonomous driving technology currently available.

The Nissan Leaf isn't the only competitor in this class. Check out this other frontrunner...
