10. Jaguar I-Pace - $69,500

Jaguar stole a march on its premium rivals when it launched the I-Pace in 2018. With its blend of performance, practicality and premium image, it rightly when on to collect the Auto Express Car of the Year accolade. Two years later, and the likes of Audi and Mercedes still can't match its.
Recent software upgrades have boosted the I-Pace’s range to 292 miles, and for 2021 there’s a major overhaul of the car’s infotainment system. It’s now ‘always on’, so it can accept updates without requiring a trip to the dealership.
The basic I-Pace package remains the same, though, so this is a comfortable car with space for four and a decent boot; it could easily take over as your single family car. The best thing about the I-Pace, though, is the way it drives, with stonking performance and excellent handling. In effect it’s everything that an electric Jaguar should be.
9. Polestar 2 - $60,000

With the Tesla Model 3 proving to be a firm favourite with electric saloon buyers, Volvo offshoot Polestar is hoping to offer perhaps the most convincing alternative in the form of the Polestar 2.
This performance saloon features a large 78kWh battery and dual electric motors offering a combined 402bhp. 0-62mph takes just 4.7 seconds, and it goes on to a top speed of 127mph. Crucially, a maximum range of 292 miles means Polestar is the first electric saloon to really stand out as a credible alternative to the Tesla Model 3. It’s capable of recharging at up to 150kW, too, so speedy top-ups are on the cards if you can find a roadside charger capable.
There’s just one model to choose from – currently there are no plans to offer a cheaper version with a smaller battery pack – but there’s a lengthy options list available to personalise the car.
8. Volkswagen ID.4 - $43,995

Volkswagen got a head start on the EV game in 2014 with its e-Golf, but that car was an electrified version of an existing model. The new 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 was designed and engineered as an EV from inception. Based on the maker’s MEB platform designed solely for EVs, the ID.4 boasts a range of 250 miles.
Unlike most current VW products, the ID.4 is rear-wheel drive, although an all-wheel drive version is on the horizon. The ID.4 excels in its ability to blend modern influences with the brand’s traditional styling cues and nuances, which appeals to the brand’s faithful devotees. As a bonus, ID.4 owners in the U.S. will receive three years of unlimited charging at Electrify America’s charging stations at no additional cost, Forbes noted.
7. Kia Soul - $51,468

If you’re after an electric car that stands out from the crowd, then the Soul EV will be just the ticket. Kia’s latest individual creation retains its funky styling, but also incorporates a state-of-the-art powertrain that’s the equal of anything in the Hyundai-Kia line-up.
That shouldn’t come as a surprise, of course, because the Soul gets the same 64kWh battery pack and energy-management system as the e-Niro. That means a quoted range of 280 miles on a single charge, in a car that has space for four adults and a boot capacity of 315 litres. The cabin is smart and functional, and while it includes the odd bit of hard plastic, it’s well screwed together.
Of course, the Soul’s looks won’t be for everyone, but that’s at least partly the point. This is a car that’s designed to provoke a reaction; it certainly stands out, and that should be applauded.

6. Kia e-Niro - $45,025

The Kia e-Niro hasn’t been around for that long but already it has one heck of a reputation. Why? Well, when it was launched it gave the electric car market a right old shake up, offering a Tesla-style long range for a far more affordable price.
Indeed, it was so impressive that it went on to become the first ever electric car to win our overall What Car? Car of the Year award – the biggest accolade we hand out – and buyers have been joining the queue to bag one ever since.
Still, this is the fastest moving market in motoring. New electric models are appearing all the time, although not always ones that can top the Kia e-Niro’s official range of up to 282 miles between charges, according to Whatcar.
With the arrival of more affordable variants, the Kia E-Niro is once again our favourite electric car. Not only does it offer an impressive range-to-price ratio, whether you choose the 39kWh or 64kWh battery, but it’s light years ahead of its rivals on efficiency, and therefore relatively inexpensive to run. Throw in a comfortable, quiet ride, a smart interior and enough space to serve as ideal family transport, and you have a winning combination.
5. Tesla Model S - $79,990

The Model S was arguably the first all-electric car that you could easily use in place of a combustion-engined equivalent when it launched eight years ago. Today, it’s still one of the best EVs around.
The 2020 line-up comprises two high-end models - the Performance and Long Range Plus - both offering great range and useful practicality, to go along with the typically stunning levels of battery-powered performance. If you’re a potential Mercedes S-Class or Porsche Panamera buyer, then the Model S definitely stands out as the electric alternative.
It’s much larger than the Model 3 and is hugely practical, with up to 804 litres of boot space and optional rear-facing child seats, turning it into a seven-seater. The battery and motor technology is what really makes the Model S stand out. With an enormous 100kWh cell, the Model S Long Range is capable of 405 miles on a charge, and is backed up by Tesla’s 150kW Supercharger network.
4. Renault Zoe - $37,006

A process of constant evolution has meant that, despite the age of its basic design, the Zoe is still right up to date. Rapid charging is still only an optional extra, which feels churlish, and the car’s electrical efficiency isn’t marvellous. However, a bigger battery and a new interior came along a couple of years ago to keep it fresh, giving the Zoe a deeply impressive range for the price, and on the road it remains one of the most composed and comfortable EVs.
The big news, of course, is that new motor. It’s rated at 134bhp and badged R135, and sits alongside the old 107bhp (or R110) powerplant in the range. No matter which you choose, you get the new 52kWh battery as standard, which increases the range to anywhere between 238 and 245 miles, depending on which model you choose – and that means the Zoe will now go further than any of its rivals on a full charge, Telegraph noted.
3. Ford Mustang Mach-E - $43,895

A couple of years into the Mach E’s development, Ford observed the segment was filling up fast and knew it had to do something to stand out among a crowd of crossover shaped EVs. To do so, it leveraged one of the most treasured names in the Ford portfolio and instructed the designers to stretch out that roofline for more of a fastback shape.
And though it’s related to the Mustang in name alone, it still offers an engaging driving experience as long as you’re not expecting the rumble of V8 to announce your arrival. Various front- and all-wheel drive models are on offer, providing between 210 and 300 miles of range. Range figures for the high-performance Mustang Mach-E GT and Mach-E Performance Edition are forthcoming.
2. Porsche Taycan - $79,990

The new Porsche Taycan is a brilliant car to drive, remaining true to its maker's heritage and leaving you in no doubt that this is a 'proper' Porsche sports saloon.
The Taycan delivers sports car-like handling, with ferocious acceleration and great agility – yet still offers four seats and a usable range. It’s not often that a car comes along that feels truly revolutionary, but that is exactly what the Porsche Taycan is – and it shows how much fun a plug-in future can be.
Despite being a hefty a 2.2-tonnes in weight, it hides its bulk well, and is able to weave neatly through tight corners and demolish fast, sweeping bends. The Taycan's raw pace is, frankly, ridiculous; in 'standard' 523bhp 4S guise it manages the 0-62mph benchmark in 4.0s, although if you upgrade to the 750bhp Turbo S version, it's a staggeringly quick 2.8s.
Don't forget, though, the Taycan should also be pretty easy to live with as a daily driver. Refinement is top notch and, while ride comfort is firm, the air suspension does its job of dealing with the broken, uneven tarmac of UK roads.
The Taycan clearly defines how Porsche sees its own future in the changeover from using fossil fuels to electric power. It's an accomplished first step, splendidly executed and one that should ease the minds of the driving enthusiast, Autoexpress noted.
1. Tesla Model 3 - $37,990

Telsa basically restacked the order of the EV car business with the 2015 launch of its Model S sedan, but the brand remained out of reach of many consumers. The 2019 Model 3 changed that, combining much of what Telsa has learned into a smaller, less expensive model poised to compete with the influx of mid-priced EVs from established mainstream manufacturers.
Featuring familial exterior styling, an all-glass roof and a modern interior it’s unique without being pretentious. 2021 brought some mild styling updates and improved range across the lineup. The base Standard Range Plus model now claims a 263-mile range, while the Long Range Model 3 has a 353-mile range, increases of 13 and 31 respectively.
While the fabled $35,000 Model 3 is now firmly in the history books, you can still get a Model 3 for just under $40,000, putting it right in league with its primary competitors.
