FAQ: I'm 6 foot 2 tall, will anyone ever produce a electric car big enough for me to fit inside without discomfort or pain, due to being squashed into a car that is so small it only has enough room side to transport a couple of small people?
The first EVs that hit UK streets in large numbers were actually quadricycles (like the G-Wiz). If its one of these you are thinking of then you're not going to be very comfortable at 6 foot plus. However, the latest line-up of proper electric cars (proper cars in the legal sense) include full sized cars with all the same interior adjustments as you would expect from a standard car. This line-up includes: Nissan LEAF, Renault Fluence and the Vauxhall Ampera (E-REV).
