I'm looking to trade in my car when the scrappage scheme is announced. What electric hatchback do you recommend?
I currently have a 2004 Citroen C4 - which I'll part exchange when the new scrappage scheme is announced. I'm looking for a similar-sized car, automatic, and either petrol, PHEV or electric, depending on the the scrappage scheme details. What cars would you recommend in each of the three categories? Kind regards.

How about a Hyundai Ioniq? It's a really good hatchback that's available with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric power - so you can decide which suits you best. If you fancy a hybrid (which is a good introduction to 'alternative' power), we'd also suggest looking at the Toyota Corolla. If you'd like an electric car, the upcoming Volkswagen ID.3 could be a good option.
You could save £3000 on an Ioniq with Hyundai's scrappage scheme. Details here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/car-market-1/2020-06/you...i
Or £2000 on the Toyota Corolla: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/car-market-1/2020-06/you...a

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
Is an electric car right for me?Similar questions
What's the best electric or hybrid car for a 150-mile daily run? The main purpose is to reduce the monthly cost on fuel and balance that with the price of the car (either new/nearly new). Thanks.
I have a a VW campervan (diesel) and a Mercedes C-Class C180 (petrol) and I would have expected these to last me for my remaining 10-12 years of driving. I’m looking for options to reduce my carbon footprint...
In the next few months, I will buy a new SUV. Is it better to buy a petrol, plug-in hybrid or all-electric nowadays?
