TOP 5 BEST EVS
PORSCHE TAYCAN
THE GOOD: |nterstellar acceleration; stellar handling; agreeably tactile; roomier than a 911
THE BAD: Empty interior; ferociously expensive; not a 911
THE UGLY: Begs to be thrashed, but thrashing it clobbers the range
THE ONE TO BUY: Choose your body style from saloon, estate or the borderline SUV-ish Cross Turismo. Get the Taycan 4S for £91k if you’re sensible, sharper GTS is tempting and Turbo just bonkers; top models cost £149,300
MG 4
THE GOOD: |ncredible value and remarkably good fun to drive
THE BAD: Poundland Lamborghini Urus vibes, especially in orange
THE UGLY: How do you feel about driving an MG-badged hatchback from a Chinese-state-owned parent company?
THE ONE TO BUY: |t’s so aordable may as well pick the long-range version in Trophy trim
BMW i7
THE GOOD: One of the best luxury cars south of a Rolls-Royce, electric or otherwise
THE BAD: List price starts at £110k; weighs more than 2.7 tonnes; ‘brave’ styling
THE UGLY: Theatre Screen option is pointless gimmickry; there’s a reason we used a rear shot above
THE ONE TO BUY: Don’t bother with the pricier Pro trims; M Sport blacks out the grille but also gives the i7 a moustache POLESTAR 2
THE GOOD: Twin motor’s speed; sharp handling; Scandi-tech style; handsome
THE BAD: Cramped packaging; challenging charging
THE UGLY: Lacks Tesla’s killer-blow charging network
THE ONE TO BUY: Single motor probably all you need, but wait for the rear-wheeldrive version. Twin motor significantly faster, and pricier
TESLA MODEL 3
THE GOOD: Scepticconfoundingly good to drive, easy to live with; massive price cuts
THE BAD: Giant touchscreen genius when you’re stationary and hugely distracting when you’re moving
THE UGLY: Panel gaps to swallow a SpaceX rocket
THE ONE TO BUY: Dual motor Long Range is £51k/£590pcm
