September 2026 issue

In the September issue of the EV Powered magazine we're thinking small. Editor Matt Allan sets the tone with a love letter to little cars, from his long-term Renault 5 to the kei car revolution brewing in Japan, and that theme runs right through the issue.
The news pages have the big stuff covered, from the Government's newly launched review of the ZEV Mandate to the Suzuki e Sky, the £22k Hyundai Ioniq 3, a $40 million Ferrari and the departure of the Government's EV chief.
Headlining the issue, Matt spends a day with the all-electric Lexus ES to see if it can topple the German 'Big Three', while Renault UK boss Adam Wood tells George East why 'you can't buy 120 years of history'. Richard Alvin reports from Formula E's astonishing farewell to the ExCeL, and the team counts down the 10 best small EVs on sale in 2026.
There's plenty more too: the experts behind McMurtry's wild Speirling fan car, reviews of the Citroen e-C3 Urban Range and Audi Q3 e-hybrid, a used BMW iX3 buying guide, the Orbea Gain M10i e-bike and why secondhand EVs are flying off forecourts.
