Most drivers in the EU drive fewer than 60 km per day since most daily driving is local. Therefore range is largely irrelevant. Long range makes very long road trips possible, along with a good fast charger network, but otherwise is a non-issue for the daily use of most drivers. Pretty much any EV will meet daily driving needs. Longer range makes long road trips possible, but even without that EVs are already highly practical for the driving most people actually do every day. Similarly charge times are largely irrelevant. Most EV drivers plug in at home or work and have a full charge before they leave. Charging an EV is not much more difficult than charging a phone or laptop. It's much more convenient than going to a fossil fuel station, since an EV can be charged any place that has electricity. There's no need to go to a filling station if you have electricity where you live or work. P.S. Don't test drive a Tesla Model 3 unless you want to end up buying one. It is one of the best cars anyone has made so far. Drive one, and see for yourself.

you guys got some things wrong, the model S performance does 0-60mph in 2.4 seconds not 3.7 and its top speed is 163 with an estimated EPA (not WLTP) range of 390 miles (that was recently announced tho but the model S cars that where made in the last few months should reach that). i say its worth the money since you cant find a faster, longer range car than this for its price.

No mention of the vw e-golf, BMW i3, Vauxhall Corsa e, Peugeot e208, Hyundai Ioniq, Tesla Model X or Nissan Leaf? And I dont see how the Hyundai Kona is 10th? Bit harsh! It's a really good electric car with a great range, and is definitely better than some of the other cars you mentioned. I don't think Renault Zoe deserves second place. The range is good, but it's now very expensive, and the interior quality is still lackluster in comparison to an e208 which should have been in your top 5. This would have been my top 10... 1) Tesla Model 3 2) Kia e-niro 3) Peugeot e208 4) Hyundai Kona electric 5) Mg Zs ev 6) Renault Zoe 6) Jaguar i-pace 7) VW e-golf 8) Nissan Leaf 9) BMW i3 120ah 10) Audi e-tron Honorable Mention: Skoda Citigoe IV Ones to avoid...

Tend to agree there, but Tesla 3 is never number 1, at least not in the UK. Support network isn't there yet, if it ever will be. Once the volume manufacturers ramp up production (presuming we have an infrastructure that can support them) then their cars will flood the market. Personally I would like a Merc B Class (full EV) rather than the EQA but at a reasonable price.

Tesla model X is very expensive, and not as efficient as other Teslas. It's wing door are expensive to fix if broken (and it can happen) So I would keep it out of top10. Also I like the interior of e-208, but it would be too tiring for me in a daily use. So I would put it's Opel/Vauxhall sibling in top5, maybe even top3. Battery size, charging speed and price makes both of them a great cars. I will probably buy Opel Corsa e myself, but first I would like to see few independent reviews, just to be sure if there aren't any major problems lurking under the hood.

Yeah. I found that to be a real eye-roller of a comment. I wonder how much this list would vary if done from an American roads perspective. I understand much of Europe finds the Tesla M-S and M-X too large to comfortably operate everywhere. Also, in 2020 America, the Tesla Supercharger network blows away non-Tesla options for fast charging. Not so much OR so important in much of Europe. As an American, I have a hard time imagining a rational analysis of available EVs concluding that the ETron, IPace or any other EV would be more desirable than an S, X, or Y.

Did a quick comparison using configurations for the Model X I-Pace and E-Tron (uk sites as that’s where I’m from and where these reviewers are also from), spec for spec: no autopilot option selected to make the assistance systems more alike as well as no fancy lighting for the Jag or Audi, no heads up displays, 5 seat option for the model x with base battery pack, no exterior colour or wheel options selected. The Audi was £61k but had the least range and comparable space to the Jag, the Jag would be £70k and the Tesla would be £86k. This does not take in to account discounts at Audi and Jag dealerships which can drop the prices for the I-pace to around £60k. While the Tesla is definitely and unquestionably the better car... you’ll pay the best part of £16-20k for the privilege, although not one of these cars is exactly cheap :)

I agree with this video 100%. I have owned my tesla model 3 performance for about 3 month and so far, it is the best, most fun, safest car (NHIS) I have ever owned. I have owned lexus gs350, bmw 550i, benz e350 previously. Those were all very good cars. Model 3, yes a bit pricey, but no more then other compact or midsize luxury sedans. Ofcourse it costs more then camries or corollas, but tesla model 3 is not camries or corollas. Plus very low maintenance costs compared to ICE cars, plus savings from gas. I am SO glad with my decision to go with model 3. The performance of model 3 is just unbelievable. Go test drive one, and you will see why they chose it for #1.

Don't test drive a Model 3 unless you want to end up buying one. Almost everyone who test drives a Model 3 buys one. It's that good. We have owned multiple Mercedes sedans. The Tesla Model 3 is a better car in every aspect, though it's not quite as well built. Teslas are built as well as BMW or Toyota. Build quality is very good. But the driving and ownership experience of any Telsa, but particularly the Model 3 is almost incomparable. It's impossible to find any other car that has the torque, smoothness, quiet, handling, comfort, safety, automation, continually improving technology, range, fast charging network, etc., at this price. Model 3 Performance is objectively and subjectively superior to a BMW M3, particularly in terms of ride comfort but also performance and smoothness. It's also quicker around a race track.

It's a sign that the Korean automakers have not really committed to building EVs in large volumes, unlike Tesla. The Tesla Model 3 has better highway efficiency than the Kia or Hyundai EVs because the Tesla has extremely low aerodynamic drag.

Yet their supercharging is only available on relatively new cars, and Tesla can and do turn off the facility remotely. And €59,000 for the base model is way more than even the most dedicated green warrior can afford. When you put that against the €43,433 of a top spec e-Niro or the €36, 815 for a similar spec Zoe, it becomes almost impossible to see the Model 3 as an affordable option. Personally, I also hate the Tesla's instrumentation / ICE. Personally, I think I'll wait a while and see what future generations of batteries will be capable of. Having seen some interesting results from hemp-based batteries that should prove significantly cheaper and better performing than even the Tesla's graphene based batteries, I'd be surprised if future generations of batteries can't significantly improve on what is currently available, and be cheaper into the bargain.

We went and test drove the Jaguar IPace and Audi eTron this weekend, and they were surprisingly similar & impressive. The Audi was a bit bigger, and had a bit more premium luxury SUV type feel, but the Jag had a bit more range, & felt faster/more agile. Both were gorgeous on the inside and out. I personally am a bit biased because I love Audi, but I'd be very happy with either. The interior features were my favorite, including similar climate control screens, ride settings, ambient lighting, premium materials, and several other details. The Audi had just a bit more detail and special touches that I appreciated. Oh, and we are going to lease instead of buy since the technology for EV cars especially will grow leaps and bounds over the next couple years. It's a crazy world we are living in these days!

Agree fully with you comment. Looked at both the Model 3 and the I-Pace and then bought the I-Pace. Am now at 18K km (12K miles) and am extremely happy with it. Very comfortable, quiet and zero problems so far. Range has gone up now to about 283 miles on a full charge (if you do your part). Was around 220 miles during the winter but the warmer weather helps a lot. Also the last software updates have improved the range and I probably learned to use the car more efficiently as well probably.

I've driven pretty much every EV on the market for extended test drives. I've always described the Kona as a €15k powertrain in a €15k car. They added a little extra metal trim in places but it still has the cheap feeling interior of the fossil fuel models. Also even for a car of it's size, it doesn't have a lot of storage space. The eNiro is basically the same price, comes with the same powertrain, a longer warranty, more storage space, an interior while still pretty basic feels better built and handles a little better.

Model 3 is 10k+ more vs. the E-Niro in pretty much every European country. And that's the base version with less range. Tesla 3 should not be number 1 on any European list. I can understand why a KZbin channel needs to please the fanboys but if we are being realistic a Tesla in Europe, at least currently, can barely break into the top 3. If it is not about efficiency/money then the Model 3 shouldn't even be in the game (because of the Model S).

The issue I have with Tesla is that they are pretty much an upcharge for lot of the options that don't come on the base model and which you probably want. By the time you've done some of that up featuring and shelled out some more bucks so that you can plug into non Tesla chargers (cause believe it or not, they aren't always where you need them) you are paying a heck of a lot more than the base price in Canada. By contrast, the Niro has two versions, two prices and heck of lot of features for similar money of a slightly above base 3. Yes the 3 has faster acceleration and so on but having driven both and even compared it to an older leaf, I can't say I would ever shell out for the 3. I would rather have the S if I were to go that direction. Not to mention my friends 3 leaked right off the lot. Imagine getting a car in a rainy climate that leaks? Tesla had to come out to fix it but that should never happen. He went for a pretty upscaled version (extended range, AWD etc.). By the time he finished adding up the bill he was into the plus $70000.00 range for a model 3. The problem with ratings is that they don't really take into account the different priorities of drivers. For example, I couldn't give a rat's you know what about having a 0-60 time in the 3-4 second range. I hate the fact that so many cars focus on that metric. It doesn't represent anything really practical for the most part. Normal driving doesn't often if ever require that level of acceleration and there are far more important things that one could focus on so far as I am concerned. Give me practical transport, that is comfortable and that is what I am looking for.

I hear Dacia are releasing their EV this year but I would still expect the price to be £20000 + , I was lucky enough to get my 2014 Leaf for £3800 nearly 2 years ago now ( 170000 miles ex taxi ,soh 68% ) realistic range of only 40 - 50 miles but it still deals with 99% of my daily use. My 2nd car is a 2008 Mini Cooper D which is worth about £3000 and will do 500 miles on a full tank and does 60mpg easily with road tax of just £20 it’s the sort of car EV’s are in competition with. Oh and it will refuel from empty to full in under 5 mins. I hear some people say that EV’s are just rich peoples play things and I can certainly appreciate this perception especially with the Tesla’s and such like of the world.

​@@Danielevans2 I understand the concept of acceleration and g-forces. I also understand the importance of quick acceleration from, say, 30mph to 50 or 60mph as that is useful for overtaking. 0-60mph is also fairly useful if you're pulling out of one of those short slip roads onto a dual carriageway, which (at least, for me) happens on very rare occasions. Outside of those circumstances, the acceleration of the car doesn't seem like an important metric to me. And the ability to accelerate to 60mph in 3 seconds is not only totally unnecessary but pretty dangerous, and encourages reckless driving.

They have made commitments on climate change that can't possibly be achieved in the Timescale they've set themselves. Millions of charging points will need to be installed across the country for people without driveways or live in flats, try plugging your car in from 20 floors up, that's one hell of an extension lead you'll have to have, as it stands NOW the whole thing is Pie in the Sky until the infrastructure is installed and batteries are a Lot Better.

From the South Midlands I had to go up to Carlisle one evening (450 mile round trip.) and if I had an EV, it would most likely have been on it's overnight recharge so instead of taking just under 4 hrs just to get there, it would have taken 6 hrs or more. And of course, once in Carlisle, it's stopping near enough to where I needed to go to recharge the car before the trip back south again. I see the point of EV's. But it's the excessive cost to buy one and all the other paraphernalia that goes with them that stops me buying one.

1:35 Uhm... Why? It looks like a 3D render (A really good one), but there is a train from the NS (A Dutch train) while the car has a Czech number plate.. (I also assume it is a render because above the arrows on the blue sign at 1:41 it says "andere richtingen" which means "other directions". Usually those signs specify which directions it'll lead you.)

Tesla is the only car with ground-up EV architecture isn’t it? How many of the others are ICE cars with a battery and motors installed?
@vaska00762
@vaska00762 4 жыл бұрын
Actually, the Zoe is a ground up EV architecture. There are some common parts with the Clio, but the chassis and wheelbase are entirely different. There's also the Hyundai Ioniq which isn't in this list, which is designed from the ground up to be an EV, however, there are hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants available. There's also the Honda E, which is also a ground up EV. I understand that the Audi e-Tron uses an EV specific chassis, however, many parts and components are from the Q-Tron design, such as suspension. It uses the Premium Electric Platform, a dedicated EV architecture. The Porsche Taycan is a ground up EV design, only making use of Porsche's existing suspension, steering and brake systems. It also makes use of the Premium Electric Platform. The Mercedes EQC (as well as their future EQ cars) are ground up EV designs, again using existing Mercedes experience with things like handling. The BMW i3 was a ground up EV, but early models did feature a range extender engine on board. The i8 is similar... The BMW iX3 is an all electric, EV architecture, the i7 likewise plus there's speculation about future i series BMWs. VW group has a pure EV architecture called the MEB. It'll be in use in the pure EV ID.3 as well as future ID cars as well as the Seat El Born. Speaking of which, the Up!, Seat Mii and Skoda Citigo were all designed originally to be EVs, however were modified later in design to accommodate ICEs. It's why all 3 of those cars are very high efficiency, only behind the Ioniq and Model 3. VW group will only make EV versions of those going forward. There are probably more I've forgotten.

vasks00762 already answered your question for the most part. That said, the Jaguar I-Pace was also designed as an EV from the ground up. The Mercedes EQC however, is NOT a ground up EV design, it's an adapted ICE-model. That's why there still is an transmission tunnel in the interior, why it has less headroom in the back and such a large front.

A smart EQ ForFour with 150 mi. Range would make much more sense than what Smart currently offer. Also, lack of CCS as standard is downright dumb, even for a city car. The CCS-free Zoe and Citigo e iV just annoy me. Better to have CCS and not use it than need it and not have it.

JOKE prices though! There are tens of thousands of ordinary folk that drive secondhand cars & there are just no secondhand electric cars close to their price range. It will be decades before electric cars rule the roads in this country. It would appear to be beyond the wit of carmakers to come up with a functional CHEAP electric car. Not everybody needs all the bells & whistles that carmaker love to include. I certainly haven't seen anything that I would change my 23-year-old Mercedes for, why would I want to pay such ridiculous prices to replace a car that still runs like a Swiss watch🤔

It was the price when this was made. The car went up to £39,990 in Early March because of high demand and facilities and shipping shutting down because of coronavirus also to get around the uk luxury car tax at £40k but in the April 2020 budget the UK government lowered the grant by £500 but got rid of the luxury car tax on full electric vehicles. That is why it is at £40,490 today.
