French cars have frustrated the living hell out of me this past decade, and the Peugeot e-2008 GT is another one to add to my list. You’re a smart little SUV. This SUV is small for such money, and I’m struggling to see how it’ll work as our family car. I should want to own one. Mystifying.

But don’t underestimate the importance of this car’s landing. Toyota’s our largest brand by a distance, and while late to market with its first full EV, the BZ4X’s arrival validates the electric car revolution to many a sceptic.

Demand for these rapid electric GTs is off the charts, so car folk look at you wondering how many brown envelopes were handed over so you could jump the queue. Feels a big car. It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. What a great getaway car. That’s daft acceleration.

Model 3 vs EV6 vs Polestar 2 vs Ioniq 5: There’s a sub-$80K sweet spot in the electric car market – and it’s not relying on price alone to tempt buyers. Then there’s Kia’s EV6 , the first ground-up electric car from the Korean brand. Our car also had a bigger battery, which adds $5000. Plus it had two option packs.

On entering the car, this orb glows like an intricately weaved electrical hob (if you choose orange/red as your ambient light). Turn the car on and this entertaining sphere rolls around to reveal your drive-by-wire gear selector. Not what we’ve come to expect from dedicated EV-platform cars. A brace of 12.3-inch

A sweetener from the get-go are six years of free public charging (Chargefox), six years scheduled servicing and six years roadside assist. Standard kit is generous. For the same money the wagon with Launch Edition kit looks the pick. What is charging like for the Audi Q8 55 e-tron? inch infotainment screen, 12.3-inch

Australians are increasingly considering an EV as their next family car, but just how practical is the current crop on our market, and do they represent good value for money?
