Video Description

The electric car market is evolving faster than you can say lithium iron phosphate, and two of the newest additions are the BYD Dolphin Surf and Citroen e-C3. Ignoring tiny city cars like the Dacia Spring, the Dolphin Surf and e-C3 are among the cheapest new EVs you can buy, and still have a range of around 200 miles from a charge. Question is, then, if you are thinking about buy a new electric supermini, which should you go for? In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott answers precisely that question.
