Switching to an electric vehicle (EV) feels like a massive breath of fresh air. Not only do you get a brilliantly smooth, quiet drive, but you also get to keep more of your hard-earned cash where it belongs – in your pocket. Buying a used EV takes those savings even further. You dodge the steep new-car depreciation and still get fantastic, modern tech.
We have pulled together Cazoo’s top 10 best-selling used electric cars for March, to share with you what others are buying. Let’s explore the cars our buyers are absolutely loving right now.
1. MGS6
The MG S6 is all about making electric driving easy and affordable, with no fuss. This comfortable SUV stands out thanks to its generous range, plenty of interior space, and tech that feels modern without overwhelming you. It’s great for families who need room for luggage or just want a bit more headspace on the school run. The MGS6’s simple controls and user-friendly infotainment mean you can hop in, get comfy, and enjoy the drive – no special instructions required. Plus, with its impressive battery size, you’ll spend less time worrying about charging and more time just living your life.
Practical EV tip: The MGS6’s spacious battery is perfect for overnight charging at home. If your energy provider offers off-peak rates, try plugging in before bed so you wake up to a full battery, saving money and time in one go.
2. Hyundai Ioniq 5
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like it drove straight out of a brilliant sci-fi film, but it’s deeply practical. Inside, the cabin feels like a spacious modern lounge. The completely flat floor gives everyone plenty of legroom, making it an absolute joy for family road trips. Plus, its ultra-fast charging capabilities mean you spend less time waiting and more time driving.
Practical EV tip: When planning longer journeys, use smartphone apps like Zapmap to locate rapid chargers along your route. The Ioniq 5 can accept incredibly fast charge speeds, meaning a quick coffee break is usually enough to get you back on the road.
3. Mazda MX-30
Looking for something with a bit of unique charm? The Mazda MX-30 is a massive head-turner, complete with quirky rear-hinged doors and a beautifully crafted interior using sustainable materials. Mazda designed this car primarily for city driving. It features a smaller, lighter battery, making the car feel agile and fun on urban streets while keeping the overall price wonderfully low on the used market.
Practical EV tip: Because the battery is smaller, the MX-30 charges exceptionally quickly, even from a standard home wallbox. It makes the perfect second car for school runs, weekly shops, and daily city commutes.
4. MINI EV
We all know and love the classic MINI feel. The EV version takes everything that makes a MINI brilliant – the zippy, go-kart handling and cheeky design – and removes the tailpipe emissions. It brings an instant smile to your face the moment you put your foot down. It’s pure, unadulterated fun, wrapped up in a familiar, much-loved package.
Practical EV tip: The MINI EV shines on short, punchy drives. Make the most of its regenerative braking system in town traffic. This feature feeds energy back into the battery every time you lift your foot off the accelerator, extending your range without you even trying.
5. Peugeot E-2008
For drivers who want a compact SUV that feels a bit posh inside, the Peugeot E-2008 hits the sweet spot perfectly. It offers a wonderfully smooth, silent ride and a brilliant 3D dashboard setup that makes driving feel genuinely special. It sits slightly higher on the road, giving you great visibility, while remaining compact enough to park easily in tight supermarket spaces.
Practical EV tip: Keep an eye on your tyre pressure. Keeping your tyres properly inflated reduces rolling resistance, which can genuinely improve your EV's efficiency by a few percent. It is a simple habit that gets you extra miles out of every charge.
6. Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 is the car you buy when you want to make a quiet, confident statement. With a stunning, minimalist Scandinavian design, it stands out from the usual premium German saloons. The built-in Google infotainment system is a game-changer, integrating seamlessly with your digital life and making the cabin feel incredibly intuitive.
Practical EV tip: Let the car do the maths for you. Use the built-in Google Maps to navigate to your destination. It automatically calculates your exact battery usage and suggests the smartest charging stops along your route, completely removing any range anxiety.
7. Ford Mustang Mach-E
Yes, it’s an electric Mustang, and yes, it’s absolutely brilliant. The Mach-E combines aggressive sports car styling with the genuine practicality of a family SUV. It boasts impressive ranges, plenty of interior space, and a massive touchscreen that controls almost everything in the car. It’s also proof that switching to electric does not mean giving up an exciting driving experience.
Practical EV tip: Take advantage of the car's pre-conditioning feature via the Ford app. While the car is still plugged into your house on a frosty morning, use the app to warm up the cabin. This uses mains electricity rather than your battery, saving your range for the actual drive.
8. Skoda Enyaq
Skoda is famous for making cars that just make sense, and the Enyaq is no exception. It is incredibly roomy, wonderfully comfortable, and packed with clever little touches—like an umbrella hidden in the door. If you need a sensible, reliable, and cavernous family cruiser that costs pennies to run compared to a diesel SUV, this is the one.
Practical EV tip: The Enyaq has brilliant storage solutions, including a specific spot under the boot floor for your charging cables. Keep them neatly stored away there so they do not take up valuable luggage space when you are packing for a family holiday.
9. MG5
The MG5 holds a very special title as one of the few electric estate cars available on the used market. It’s highly practical, entirely unassuming, and offers unbelievable value for money. Whether you are a tradesperson carrying tools or a busy parent hauling prams and flat-pack furniture, the MG5 is a brilliant, reliable workhorse that will save you a fortune on petrol.
Practical EV tip: Because of its lower estate shape, the MG5 is slightly more aerodynamic than a tall SUV. To maximise your efficiency on the motorway, try setting your cruise control to around 65mph instead of 70mph. You’ll notice a significant boost in your remaining range.
10. Kia EV3
The tenth best-selling EV on Cazoo in March was the Kia EV3. This car brings bold, futuristic design and ultra-modern tech into a more compact footprint. It’s packed with helpful safety features and boasts a comfortable ride that absorbs the bumps of city streets beautifully. Kia has built a reputation for bulletproof reliability, making a used EV3 an incredibly safe bet for your first electric car.
Practical EV tip: Get familiar with the brilliant Kia Connect companion app. You can monitor your current charge level, stop or start charging sessions, and lock the doors directly from your sofa. It makes managing your EV incredibly convenient.
Time to Leave the Petrol Pump Behind?
Making the switch to an EV doesn’t have to be intimidating. Buying on the used market is the perfect way to get your hands on incredible, modern technology without the hefty brand-new price tag. As petrol prices continue to fluctuate and cause us all unnecessary headaches, taking control of your commute with an electric car feels wonderfully empowering.
You get to enjoy a smoother drive, do your bit for the air quality in your local town, and – most importantly – keep your hard-earned money away from the petrol stations.
