Electric vehicles have certainly come a long way since 2011.

This was the year Britain's first mass-market electric model - the Nissan Leaf - was made available to the UK market.

The Sunderland-produced EV debuted with a claimed range of 93 miles, which would have only been enough to take drivers from London to Northampton on a single charge.

Fast forward a decade and Nissan's current Leaf+ can travel up to 239 miles, which is enough to get from the capital to Liverpool without needing to stop for 온라인슬롯 데모 a charge. 

Of all the electric models currently on sale in the UK, Mercedes' EQS offers the longest range.

The EQS 450+ has a whopping single-charge driving distance of up to 453 miles - though you will have to fork out £102,160 for the privilege.

The SMMT listed each EV in showrooms right now, as well as the battery powered models - both fully-electric and 'range-extending' hybrids - that were available to Britons in 2011.
