As oil sources start to become scarce, car manufacturers will be implementing newer ways to introduce environmental-friendly vehicles on the road. As advanced technology becomes more and more accessible to automakers, we can expect to see new and improved iterations of these electric cars in the future. For now, if you want to exchange your used car in Dubai for an electric car, here are our five best picks.
Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf you’re looking at is the second-generation model and it features a 40kWh battery, which the company claims will give you an official range of 270 kilometers. This will be more than enough for a lot of people and given the Leaf’s affordability compared to the more premium electric cars, it is sure to be a hit with customers that are on a tight budget.
As for the charging time, you’ll be able to top up the battery to 80 percent in 40 minutes from a rapid charger, 7.5 hours from a home outlet and 21 hours from zero to full with a three-pin plug, making the Nissan Leaf versatile in this department.

Electric cars and SUVs work well together and if you have a big family, you can get the Hyundai Kona Electric. This model can either be outfitted with a 64 kWh or 39 kWh battery.

The maximum range of this car is 280 kilometers, but Hyundai claims that users will experience an average of 209 kilometers.

The 50kW rapid charger reduces the charging time to just 30 minutes for an 80 percent capacity top up.
