Forget the jokes about this sounding as though it was built in Yorkshire! VW’s e-Up! offers all-electric driving in a well sorted compact package. Its 81bhp, 155lb/ft electric motor offers 0-62mph in just 12.4 seconds so it’s no slouch. Depending on how economical you want to be at any given moment, there are three driving roads (Normal, Eco and Eco Plus) designed to progressively save power. Official range is 99 miles but anything up to 60 may be realistic from the 18.7kw battery. (At the time of writing the cost of a full charge is around £2.80, so being able to cover that kind of mileage for the cost of a coffee is not bad.)
