Hi all, does anyone have an up to date list of available Pure Electric Plug-ins?

I've pretty much decided I'm going down this route and want to draw up a shortlist. Maximum budget will be £40k, or less if second hand.

Not really wanting to promote another site but you may be better on speakEV where you see the cars and owners opinions.

The Tesla model S is the obvious choice but at your price S/H will not have the latest inovation`s. New BMW i3 will fit your price but better value / price even with lots of nice "toys" try a Nissan Leaf with the 30 Kw new battery, giving a useful range of 130 miles, but go for a test drive in all on market !

I like this one:

http://www.eafo.eu/vehicle-statistics/m1

It's a EU funded initiative (European Alternative Fuels Observatory) and has the statistics on BEV and PHEV sales for each country in Europe. You can filter by country and year (going back to 2009). In this case it's probably a good way of seeing if you've missed something out.

(I was quite amused that Porsche's 918 made it into the top 10 PHEV cars here in Switzerland last year).
