A small electric car is the ideal vehicle for the city: You can get from A to B without any problems, protect the environment and find a parking space even easier. Do you have to travel longer distances from time to time or do you want to travel? Then read on anyway, because in the meantime a lot has happened in terms of range for small electric cars. We'll give you an overview of the 10 best small electric car models and tell you which one is particularly suitable for which needs.
E-car small car: You should consider these criteria when buying
As with all electric cars, one of the most important criteria is the range – and this depends largely on the battery power. However, if you mainly need the small electric car for driving in the city (perhaps only as a second car), a long range is not the top priority. So it's important that you think about how and for what you're going to use your small electric car beforehand.
You can also extend the range with a fast charging speed. Especially on longer distances, you should take regular breaks anyway. Why not charge the battery of the car and the driver at the same time?
And what about the cost of an electric car of this type of vehicle? Small cars have a reputation for being significantly cheaper than compact or mid-range electric cars. But be careful: This is not always true. So take a look at the best e-compact cars for comparison.
For now, we'll show you our top 10 small electric cars at a glance.
Citroën C-Zero
With a length of 3.47 meters, the Citroën C-Zero belongs to the category of small cars. Side effect of the brevity: The trunk is also small. But there is enough space for shopping and two pieces of luggage. A range of 80 to 130 km can be expected. Attention: Since the e-car is only available as a used car, you should check how much of it is still available before buying. Overall, it should be noted that the Citroën C-Zero is not as powerful as other models in our list. But: If the e-car is mainly used for trips in the city or shorter commutes, the little Frenchman is a good choice. And due to the small size, it is often possible to get hold of a parking space for which others are simply too large and wide.

Renault Zoe
Wer auf der Suche nach einem besonders guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist, sollte sich diesen E-Kleinwagen genauer anschauen. Der Renault Zoe bietet eine beachtliche Reichweite von 335 bis 440 km (abhängig vom eingebauten Akku) und ist somit für längere Strecken geeignet. Da die maximale Ladeleistung jedoch eher tief ist, dauert das Laden an Schnellladesäulen länger. Für weitere Strecken respektive Reisen ist dieses E-Auto deshalb nur geeignet, wenn längere Pausen oder Zwischenstopps über Nacht möglich sind. Ausserdem sollte man nicht mit zu viel Gepäck reisen wollen, da der Kofferraum vergleichsweise klein ausfällt.
