There are over 1.75 million electric vehicles on UK roads and 135 different battery-powered models to choose from in showrooms as of late 2025.
But these numbers are going to grow substantially next year as more and more electric cars are released.
As manufacturers ramp up to the 2030 ban on new pure petrol and diesel cars [granted it’s retained after the EU recently abolished its own 2035 deadline], the new electric cars on offer – from small city cars to super powerful SUVs and performance GTs – are arriving thick and fast.
Many of these forthcoming EVs are either replacing or arriving alongside some very popular nameplates – think the Range Rover Electric and Renault Twingo – breathing electric life into cars the British public already adore.
So, with that in mind, we’ve rounded up some electric cars coming your way in 2026 that carry name badges you’re familiar with already.
Here are 10 models you’ll soon be able to get in zero-emission form.
1. Porsche Cayenne Electric
The Porsche Cayenne EV is on sale now and deliveries will start next year – it is the most powerful production Porsche of all time
One of the most exciting and notable EV arrivals of 2026 is the all-new electric Cayenne.
It’s the ‘most powerful production Porsche of all time’ boasting up to 1,140bhp as well as a 400-mile range. It too brings to market wireless charging – though it’s pretty expensive to add as an option.
It’s on sale now but deliveries don’t begin until 2026.
2. Porsche Cayman/Boxster
Porsche’s 2022 Mission R Concept is the closest we’ve come to seeing the all-new electric Boxster and Cayman. The production version – unveiled in 2026 – will look less racy than this
The specifics of the all-electric Porsche Cayman and Boxster successor aren’t fully known yet, but it is expected to debut next year for the 2027 model year.
The switch to electric power was first previewed in 2022 with the Porsche Mission R concept – though that very racy take on the electrified Cayman road car is unlikely to be representative of what will appear in showrooms.
We do know it will be offered in coupe Cayman and soft-top Boxster versions, and be smaller than the Taycan.
There are hopes of up to 600bhp too.
Porsche has confirmed that new factory orders for the outgoing 718 Boxster and Cayman have now ceased, though customers can still find zero-mile examples across its UK showroom network well into early 2026. So move fast now if you want one with petrol power.
3. Toyota Hilux
Pre-homologation figures give a 715kg payload, 1,600kg towing capacity and a range of 150 miles for the first all-electric Toyota Hilux
One of the world’s most-loved pick-ups, the Toyota Hilux, is now an electric workhorse for farmers and labourers for the first time ever.
Pre-homologation figures give a 715kg payload, 1,600kg towing capacity and a range of 150 miles.
It’s set to be available summer in 2026.
4. Alpine A110
An all-electric version of the Alpine A110 sports car (pictured) is due to be showcased for the first time in the next 12 months
The Alpine A110 sports car is being replaced with an electric coupe that Alpine-owner Renault hopes will rival the upcoming Porsche Cayman EV.
The French EV should manage 350 miles on a charge and bring Alpine’s track pedigree and latest tech to your local road.
It’s likely to be revealed in 2026 and go on sale early 2027.
5. VW Golf GTI
How the Golf GTI’s spiritual successor will look in an all-electric age: This is the VW ID.GTI Concept – a battery-powered hot hatch unveiled by the German car giant as bosses confirm the iconic performance badge will live on
The first fully electric Golf GTI is being developed, and VW CEO Thomas Schäfer has promised it will be ‘a monster car’.
Details are tightly under wraps but the EV will be based on the ID.2 GTI concept and use the MEB platform that underpins Cupra and Skoda models too.
While bhp is important, VW has said drivability is more important and that it is a ‘real go kart’.
6. Range Rover
Range Rover has promised its Electric model will be ‘the most capable electric luxury SUV’ it offers and the wait list is already over 60,000
We’re sure every petrol head is aware at this point that the Range Rover is going electric – and the Electric SUV is almost here.
The Range Rover is one of the most popular luxury cars in the world, so it is not surprising that the wait list for the Electric was well over 60,000 by mid-2025.
It looks near identical to the petrol and diesel Range Rovers and the inside is just as exquisite.
We have very little figures to go on but the target range is over 300 miles.
Prototype vehicles have already completed freezing Arctic Circle tests, as well as extreme-heat assessments in the UAE.
Expect to see this one early in 2026.
7. Nissan Juke
A shadowy studio image hints at a sportier, more angular coupe-style silhouette for the new Juke EV coming in 2026
Set to be bigger than the conventional petrol Juke, the new electric crossover from Nissan will likely have a similar range to the new Leaf – over 300 miles hopefully.
It will be built at Sunderland and will come down the production line next year.
There’s hope that it will an inexpensive model, like the combustion version, with estimates that the EV will cost around £28,000.
8. Renault Twingo
Sales of the Twingo EV begin at the end of 2026 and deliveries the year following, and the good news is that it should cost around £20,000
The Twingo is the latest retro-electric model from Renault – and the French car brand has been on a roll with this formula of revitalising old nameplates for EV buyers.
The Twingo will only be 3.79 metres long, have five doors and 163 miles of range. Boot capacity is 360 litres and you get 80bhp.
Sales begin at the end of 2026 and deliveries the year following, and the good news is that it should cost around £20,000.
9. Volkswagen Polo
The VW ID Polo will start from £22,000 and will have a range of 280 miles – making the popular young person small car into an affordable EV
The Polo, a popular first time driver car, will be electric in 2026.
There will be two battery options available, with up to 280 miles of range and a GTI variant in the future.
The Polo will be the first VW Group EV to use its bespoke platform for small electric cars.
10. Jaguar GT
Jaguar’s new four-door GT will be unveiled in full in 2026 before first deliveries in the UK arrive a year later. It will define the future of the brand
We’re finishing on the most famous car to be going electric next year – the new Jaguar.
The four-door GT will be unveiled in full in 2026 before first deliveries in the UK arrive a year later. And it will define the future of Jaguar as a brand.
It’s set to cost between £120,000 and £140,000, targets a younger affluent audience and be sold in boutique stores.
Daily Mail and This is Money motoring editor Rob Hull has been one of the first people outside JLR to see the full production car in the flesh without any camouflage (as pictured here) and taken a passenger ride in the electric GT to get an initial feel for how it will perform.
