Which electric cars have higher seating positions?
Can you point me in the direction of affordable electric cars with higher seating positions? I'm 83 and reasonably fit but higher seating does help. Currently own a 2017 Peugeot 3008.

The answer to this very much depends on your definition of 'affordable'. However, if we use your current car as a baseline (which starts at £26,000 new), you can get:
A new MG ZS EV: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mg/zs-ev-2019/
A 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cars-for-sale/search/Hyundai/...c
It might also be worth considering the Nissan Leaf. Technically it is a hatchback, but the driving position is higher than that of a Ford Focus and there is huge level of choice on the used market. www.honestjohn.co.uk/cars-for-sale/search/Nissan/L...0

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.

Impressive real-world range from the Leaf E+. Fairly spacious cabin. Should be reliable. Decent value for money.

Nothing else beats it in terms of value for money. 273-mile range on the latest models. Practical and surprisingly well-finished interior. Seven-year warranty.
