The best electric cars – driven, rated and ranked

Electric cars have come a long way over the past few years and improvements across the board mean they’re a more viable ownership option than ever before.

Choosing the best is a hard task as some are better at certain things than others, so we’ve organised the cars in this list to highlight exactly what they’re best at.

For example, some electric cars are better at delivering a long range, while others are best for practicality, driver appeal, or value for money.

But don’t panic: whether you’re looking for the most practical EV or one loaded with enough tech to fill a branch of Currys, we’ve got you covered.

Overall we rate the Cupra Born as the best electric car on sale today. Its mix of range, practicality, value for money and the fact it’s a good steer make it very hard to look past.
