Looks like this ‘electric’ thing is here to stay. Here then, are some really good ones
Volkswagen ID.Buzz
The ID.Buzz stands out simply because it dares to be different — a cheerful, anti-SUV rebel that turns every trip into a small adventure. The arrival of the seven-seat version finally lets it fulfill its promise, maximizing the clever use of space and versatility that made it so intriguing to begin with. For just a little more money, it becomes the van it was always meant to be — fun, functional, and full of character.
Volvo EX90
Gliding down the road in near silence, the EX90 feels composed, confident, and surprisingly agile for a car of its size. Visibility is superb, comfort levels are off the charts, and it devours long journeys without breaking a sweat. The seats? Among the best in the business, complete with massages good enough to soothe backseat bickering. Every corner of the EX90 hides a thoughtful detail — it’s luxury in the truest, most family-friendly sense.
Skoda Enyaq
With the Enyaq, Skoda practically wrote the rulebook for electric family SUVs — and this refreshed version perfects it. Sharper looks, better range, and a familiar price point make it an easy win. Credit to Skoda for not overcomplicating things: it’s more affordable and often more practical than its Volkswagen and Audi cousins, while matching them on comfort and drivability. Frankly, we’re still trying to figure out where the catch is.
Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 wins hearts not with flash but with substance. Its clean Scandinavian design and rock-solid build could give Audi owners flashbacks, yet the car itself is quietly confident rather than boastful. It’s built to function seamlessly — no gimmicks, no drama. And with the Single Motor versions, Polestar has made its magic more attainable than ever.
Kia EV6
Bold but timeless, the EV6 manages to be quick without pretending to be a sports car. It’s a cousin to the Hyundai Ioniq 5, yet walks its own path — sleeker, more aggressive, and effortlessly modern. Inside, it’s quiet and spacious, with long-distance comfort baked in. Thanks to its 800-volt charging system, pit stops are brief and painless. The EV6 shows just how far ahead South Korea has leapt in EV innovation.
BMW i5 Touring
The i5 Touring isn’t just a milestone — it’s the first truly executive electric estate and remains the class benchmark. Whether rear- or all-wheel-drive, it blends refinement and practicality with a 570-liter trunk and more digital wizardry than most people will ever master. Swift, serene, and sophisticated, it’s the kind of car that makes long drives feel like short ones.
Audi A6 Avant e-tron
Refreshing in its refusal to follow the SUV crowd, the A6 Avant e-tron cuts cleanly through the air with elegant confidence. Its long-range capability, silky handling, and understated design make it a standout in a world of oversized crossovers. It feels every bit the big Audi saloon — quiet, composed, and effortlessly stylish.
Renault Megane E-Tech Electric
The electric Megane is a pleasant surprise: sharp to drive, attractive to look at, and brimming with practical charm. Drive it sensibly and its range will satisfy most commuters, though its sprightly performance might tempt you otherwise. Inside, Renault nailed the details — the layout is intuitive, materials feel premium, and nothing gets in the way of enjoyment. It’s hard to find fault here, which is more than can be said for some rivals.
Porsche Macan
Porsche has pulled off a rare trick — electrifying the Macan without dulling its soul. This SUV feels every bit a Porsche: brisk, balanced, and beautifully built. In daily life it’s smooth and comfortable, yet on a twisty road it comes alive. Even in its quietest moments, there’s a sense of precision running through it. The Turbo model, meanwhile, will keep up with bona fide sports cars. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
Renault 4
The reborn Renault 4 combines agility with supple ride comfort — a balance few cars achieve on Britain’s battered roads. It might not look as bold as the R5, but its distinct character and charming details, inside and out, set it apart from the generic EV crowd. If it doesn’t click instantly, give it time — it’ll win you over. Beneath that retro skin lies genuine quality: a lovely interior, thoughtful tech, strong value, and an infectious sense of joy. Renault has struck gold again.
Dacia Spring
The Dacia Spring is the EV antidote to excess — light, honest, and refreshingly simple. It doesn’t try to be futuristic or flashy; it just works. By keeping things minimal, it proves an electric car doesn’t need to weigh a ton to be practical or fun. D
Skoda Elroq
The Skoda Elroq follows closely in the Enyaq’s tire tracks — and that’s a smart move. The Enyaq outshone its VW Group siblings, and now the Elroq, debuting Skoda’s new design language, looks even sharper. It drives just as well and stays competitively priced. Practical, stylish, and unmistakably Skoda, it’s the kind of car that makes rivals glance nervously over their shoulders.
Volvo EX30
This isn’t the kind of Volvo we’re used to. It’s smaller, fully electric, and a little more playful. Officially a crossover, it’s really more of a tall hatchback with solid build quality and a tidy, minimalist cabin. It feels strong, refined, and perfectly Scandinavian. For what it costs, the EX30 looks like a smart buy — premium appeal without the premium price tag.
Kia EV3
The Kia EV3 is one of those cars that just gets everything right. It’s well-priced, comfortable, easy to drive, and the perfect size for families — spacious yet city-friendly. Performance is brisk, range is solid, and it can handle fast charging with ease. It’s not showy, but in the world of entry-level EVs, the EV3 sets the benchmark for competence and common sense.
MG4
At first glance, the MG4 might seem ordinary — not the sort of car that screams excitement. But the closer you look, the better it gets. It delivers excellent range, quick charging, and lively handling, all wrapped in a surprisingly stylish design. Factor in the price, and it becomes one of the most well-rounded EVs in its class. The MG4 proves that value and fun can share the same garage.
Tesla Model 3 / Tesla Model Y
The Tesla Model 3 still feels like the future — witty, tech-forward, and packed with personality. Even after years on the market, it remains one of the most complete electric cars around, balancing range, performance, and software smarts better than anyone else. It may not be flawless, but it changed what people expect from an EV — maybe even from driving itself.
The latest Model Y, meanwhile, represents Tesla’s maturity. Quieter, more efficient, smoother to drive, and more comfortable inside, it fixes most of its predecessor’s flaws. It no longer shocks the competition, but it still sets the pace — proof that evolution can be as important as revolution.
Porsche Taycan
Porsche’s Taycan remains one of the most captivating electric cars you can buy. This sleek four-door GT blends stunning design with comfort, cutting-edge tech, and an addictive driving experience. With improved range and faster charging, it’s even easier to justify. The Taycan doesn’t just get you from A to B — it devours the road with poise and passion.
Rolls-Royce Spectre
Electric power feels tailor-made for Rolls-Royce. The Spectre is still gloriously indulgent — smooth, silent, and utterly opulent — but its refinement now borders on the divine. Despite its grandeur, it’s remarkably simple to live with. While other brands struggle to electrify their heritage, Rolls-Royce makes it look effortless. The electric age has found its crown jewel.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
The Ioniq 5 N is proof that EVs can be thrilling. It channels the character of a great petrol car while adding its own electric twist. Through corners, it’s confident, agile, and a genuine joy to drive. On top of that, it’s spacious, practical, and tech-savvy. This is more than just a fast electric hatch — it’s a milestone that shows performance and electricity can coexist beautifully.
Renault 5
The reborn Renault 5 hits all the right nostalgic notes while being thoroughly modern. Like the Mini and Fiat 500, it combines retro charm with contemporary engineering, but it’s bigger, more comfortable, and better suited for real roads. Its range and performance sit in the sweet spot, while its bi-directional charging adds clever utility. Playful to drive and cheerful to behold, the R5 feels like love at first (and lasting) sight.
