The Ultimate Cheap EV Test – 200 Miles Through Rural Wales!

Can budget EVs really handle a proper road trip?!

Join Robert Llewellyn, Imogen Bhogal, and Jack Scarlett as they take three of the UK’s most affordable electric cars on a 186-mile journey across Wales – from Llandudno to Cardiff down the famous A470.

The contenders!

• Citroën e-C3 : Comfort king with one big charging flaw
• BYD Dolphin Surf : Smooth, refined… but a bit quirky
• Leapmotor T03: Shockingly basic, surprisingly capable

From rural roads, a true “charging desert,” confusing climate controls and slow charging speeds, this road trip uncovers what these EVs are really like to live with. Enjoy!
