Interiors are often robust in a workmanlike kind of way, offering little in the way of style and luxury while providing adequate space and solidity. Driving experience is arguably its most impressive feature, with ride comfort that’s way ahead of anything else in its class.

3. Kia EV6

9/10

Price Starts At $48,700

Battery range up to 328 miles

KEY FEATURES:

One of the most striking EVs on the market, Kia’s EV6 offers sharper handling and a similarly impressive range of between 300 and 328 miles officially, depending on what size alloy wheels the model you choose, and whether it’s the rear or four-wheel drive version. Performance is decent, whichever model you choose, with the rear-drive version having 229hp and taking just 7.1 seconds to go from 0-60mph, and the 325hp all-wheel-driver version shrinking that time to just 5.2 seconds.

The Taycan confounded all doubters and reassured the optimists, with handling that impresses not only in the electric car class, but also in among fellow Porsches – it really is that impressive to drive. Sure, you have to pay for the pedigree, but do so and you’ll have a GT sports four-door EV that can officially cover between 231 and 314 miles between charges, depending on which model you go for. The sweet spot in the range is arguably the 4S, which has a 282-mile range, plus a 0-60mph time of four seconds dead.

The i7 has a superbly appointed interior, with large screens, quality materials and lots of space. It’s very compliant on the road with its comfort-focused suspension soaking up all the bumps and making it very nice to drive. The 102kWh battery pack allows for up to 388 miles of range and it can be charged at up to 200kW on DC. It is very pricey, though, and the styling won’t appeal to everyone.

8. Audi Q4 e-tron

While it may not be the most attractive or inspiring to look at, it’ll help make the most of its huge 108kWh battery pack. Combining the sleek shape and huge battery, you can do 453 miles in its most efficient form and very few cars can get close to that. The cabin is excellently kitted out, while there’s decent space and lots of equipment as standard. It does command a rather steep asking price though.

Additionally, the I-Pace becomes the first-ever Jaguar to feature built-in Amazon Alexa voice control. Aside from that, Jag makes wireless charging standard for the electric crossover. The I-Pace is only offered in the previously top-of-the-line HSE trim. However, its price is closer to that of the discontinued base model.

Building on the success of the Model 3, the Model Y SUV is supremely practical and best-suited to families wanting an all-electric wagon. If you can look past the non-descript design, the Y is a great car overall, with its cavernous load spaces and comfortable cabin. While you’ll need to get used to having all the major controls put through the 15-inch central touchscreen, the design is very clean and tidy. It can feel a bit firm on the road, but it’ll go very far on a full battery as you get up to 331 miles on a single charge in the Long Range version.

12. Polestar 2

All of that comes with an excellent cabin, and a modern infotainment system that is built around a dedicated car-based version of the Android operating system that runs around 2.8 billion mobile phones worldwide.

A vision of the future you can drive on the road today, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like nothing on the road, its angular lines and dot-matrix-style rear lights blending together to create a car for the digital age. The Ioniq 5 is far more that just a stylish car, though: the comfortable ride and laid-back interior make for a truly relaxing driving experience, while it’s also very practical, being larger and more SUV-like than its looks might imply. The 77kWh 228hp model is the pick of the range, offering decent performance, plus the ability to go up to 315 miles (officially) on a single charge.

14. Skoda Enyaq

You might expect an electric car from Skoda to be very practical, easy to drive, comfortable and well thought out, and that’s exactly what you get with the Enyaq. It’s a very easy car to warm to, and even easier to fit into your life. The boot is one highlight, with the 585 litres you get back there being commensurate with Skoda’s practical ethos, while the model range starts with a 60kWh battery for 246 official miles of range,or you can pay around $2200 extra for the 80kWh battery, which can cover up to 338 miles between charges.

It wasn’t that long ago the if you wanted a premium EV, Tesla was your only choice. Established car makers have well and truly caught up now though, and the BMW i4 is an excellent contender in this segment. With all the handling finesse you’d expect from a BMW, the i4 also has one of the best cabins and infotainment systems in the business, while the range of up to 365 miles should be more than enough for most.

16. Nissan Ariya

Nissan arguably created the modern mid-size SUV when it launched the Qashqai back in 2006, and it’ll be hoping the recently released Ariya finds similar success. It certainly deserves to, with the Ariya’s sleek exterior styling being carried over to the modern, plush cabin, which really moves things on for the brand. Battery-wise, the range begins with a 63kWh offering, which officially provides 250 miles of range, or you can upgrade to the 87kWh model, and up that figure to 329 miles.

17. Peugeot e-208

Given that it’s a small, affordable EV, the Peugeot e-208 still hits hard when it comes to looking and feeling posh inside. It’s entertaining around town and on a good road, and its 225-mile range isn’t bad for a car of this size either. The model line-up starts with Active Premium trim, which brings 16-inch alloy wheels, reversing sensors and manual air-conditioning, but we’d consider upgrading to Allure Premium, which is roughly $1500 more and brings climate control, a reversing camera and leather-effect seats, among other goodies. GT and GT Premium are a further $2100 and $3100 above Allure Premium, adding features such as an upgraded 10-inch touchscreen, LED headlights and a bodykit.

Some fans of fast Fords were aghast when the Mustang nameplate was attached to an electric car, but the Mustang Mach-E proved such concerns were unfounded when it arrived. Because while the Mustang Mach-E might be a big, practical family SUV, that doesn’t mean it misses out on being quite good fun to drive. It’s quick too, and has an electric range of up to 379 miles.

With its funky styling both inside and out, the GV60 is a left-field yet very compelling choice as an EV SUV. Sitting on the same platform as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, the GV60 offers a decent range of 321 miles in its most efficient setup. There’s decent space throughout too, and with Genesis being more of a premium-feeling option, you get lots of funky styling details, including the crystal orb that flips over into being the gear selector. The ride comfort could be better though, as could the infotainment system, which can be fiddly to use on the go.

20. Cupra Born

8/10

Price Starts At $59,990

Battery range up to 308 miles

KEY FEATURES:

Cupra used to be the performance arm of SEAT, but split off from the firm to become a standalone company in 2018. The Born is the firm’s take on a medium-sized electric car, sharing its platform with the Volkswagen ID.3, but offering sharper styling and handling. Offered with a 58kWh or 77kWh battery, the former brings 260 miles of range, while the latter manages 340 miles officially, making it a strong contender in this class. Upgrading the battery costs roughly $4500, though that price also brings a trim upgrade.
