Help! Electric car for 3 children

9 replies

Electriccarhelp · 14/09/2025 20:33

Anyone good on electric car knowledge?

Urgently need a new car and my work have just launched an electric car salary sacrifice scheme.

Been going round in circles trying to find an affordable model with a decent range that can comfortably get 3 children in the back.

children are aged 9, 6, 6.

9 year old is 142cm and technically no longer needs a car seat but seems so low in the seat without a booster so good size middle seat ideally.

Thank you!

I've got an ID4 and it's fantastic. Massive in the back and huge boot. 300ish real life range.

We have a mercedes eqb and there's loads.of room - it's actually 7 seater but the 2 back seats fold down if needed.

Hyundai Kona (not sure how big the middle seat is but I know there is plenty of room in the back for my 2 teens). Great value on my work Sal Sac scheme.

Where will you charging?

I’ve got a Skoda Enyaq estate. I love it. There’s loads of room in the back and the boot is huge. It’s really easy to drive and park too.

The range is over 300 miles in Spring/ Summer, less in the colder months.

@PearlsPearl I've just come across your post about your ID 4 and Id really appreciate your advice please? I'm looking at one and just wondering if you'd still recommend it? Also could you advise on how much they take to charge and running costs please? First electric car through work and there doesn't seem to be many affordable larger car options. I've 3 kids aged 10,10 and 12 and a big dog and a little dog to fit in the boot 🙇Thank you.
