Best Small Electric Car: BYD DOLPHIN

“Compact on the outside, capacious on the inside, the BYD DOLPHIN is efficient, good to drive, loaded with tech and, with the bigger of the two batteries, comes with a sensible real-world range. It might not be pocket change, but the BYD DOLPHIN costs a good chunk less than its mainstream rivals.”
