Booted Taycan has just launched in entry-level RWD form. Outstanding to drive and well worth the financial stretch. ★★★★★ £73,650 402bhp, 254lb ft 5.4sec, 143mph 2.6-3.1mpkwh, 222-269 miles
BMW i4 M50
Has plenty of performance and desirability and handles with typical BMW polish, but the most potent i4 lacks the swagger of a full-fat M car. ★★★★★ £63,850 536bhp, 538lb ft 3.9sec, 140mph 3.3mpkwh, 315 miles
TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE AWD
Offers a lot for what looks like an appealing price in this company, not least great charging facilities. A bit of a blunt tool to drive. ★★★★★ £59,935 449bhp, 299lb ft 3.1sec, 162mph 3.8mpkwh, 340 miles
JAGUAR I-PACE SE
Ageing Jaguar comes up shorter than its rivals on real-world range but remains a knockout design and hearteningly enjoyable to drive. ★★★★★ £70,165 394bhp, 513lb ft 4.8sec, 124mph 1.8-2.8mpkwh, 279 miles
FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GT
Competent, practical, versatile and likeable but falls short of the engaging dynamism we have been conditioned to expect of a fast Ford. ★★★★★ £66,280 480bhp, 634lb ft 4.4sec, 124mph 3.5mpkwh, 310 miles
