This year, the Formula E championships will see battery-powered cars tear their way around some of the world's biggest cities, including London. With the series well under way,Focusdecided to see what the current crop of electric cars can do for day-to-day motorists making their way through the city's traffic.

First up is the Renault Zoe. This car is exactly what you'd expect the French take on the the small car of the future to be like: it's cute.

Inside, every corner has been rounded off, every panel coated in white or grey paint, and almost every button or dial replaced by a screen. It sort of feels like you're driving an iPod, and I mean that as a compliment: we liked this car a lot. Check out the video below to watch the full review, and stay tuned to see the rest of the tests.
