    No mention of the BYD Seal or Kia EV9? Both nominees for 2024 car of the year. Interesting.

    I really think you should look at these cars in terms of lease price because most EV owners say they’d never buy one with cash.
    The depreciation is horrific, so leasing avoids this.
    May also be worth listing depreciation values if they’re available to see how much they might be selling for in a couple of years time.

      Most who choose a new EV will lease it rather than buy it. That way, you avoid the depreciation shocks. Try buying a new petrol Merc. BMW or similar, and see how it depreciates……

    I have only driven 2 EV´s for any distance (thousands of kms) the BMW I7 and Mercedes Benz EQV and I have never got anywhere near the claimed 10-80% charge time despite using a vide range of fast chargers. Could What Car do a real world test of this capability to see if like WLTP range they are some sort of idealised value no one will ever see?

      physics 101: it will take a lot more energy to make the car move than what you can recover from breaking. The advantage over ICE is while existent, it is not significant. Some EV promoters paint it like you can drive in the city for free, which is not the case at all.@@GDM22

      @MrGonetopot

      Doesn’t it depend on how many people are charging at the chargers. Something else they like to gloss over like the WLTP range which is based on 0-100% despite you being incapable of doing that unless you want to destroy your £50K battery.

    Still don’t get how the Model 3 beats the EV6. The latter has a much longer warranty, much better build quality, physical buttons, a nicer interior, I could go on. The Supercharger network shouldn’t be the only reason to carry on putting Tesla at the top of every list.

    A missed opportunity here by wasting 2 places in the top 10 to >£100K cars that few people will buy. There is so much good product out there now in the mid range such as Hyundai Kona, Renault Megan e-tech and BYD Atto 3. A notch up from those in size the king is of course the Tesla Model Y which didn’t become the best selling car in the world by being average.
