Unlike the recently launched Genesis GV60 – which is built on a bespoke EV architecture – the GV70 Electrified takes the familiar underpinnings of a GV70 running on petrol or diesel and adapts them to EV life. The GV70 Electrified can accept up to about 240kW of DC charge, delivered through a charge port in the grille.

We do not want to waste money on cheap, low-quality commodities. Another type of EV chargers is the Direct Current (DC) fast chargers. Direct current (DC) fast chargers are convenient for longer drives. Direct current (DC) fast chargers are convenient for longer drives. We want to save money.

Much has been achieved through fakery – ‘petrol’ engine note and gear shifts included – but there’s been no reason to hide this. This would be typical of most track sessions with a petrol performance car, really. 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N I’m happy to report there’s three big ticks awarded.

But whereas the EV6 is based on a dedicated EV architecture, the Niro relies on an ICE platform to allow for the petrol engine for the hybrid model. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. DC charging : 105kW (estimated), CCS combo plug. The compact SUV sits under the EV6 from a pricing perspective.

Not cheap, but it ups the racy ambience. With our comical current petrol prices, a decent Taycan inclusion is a three-year Chargefox subscription. DC charging : 270kW, CCS combo plug. A frunk holds a few shopping bags while the boot’s a not huge 366 litres – you’ll need to pack lightly for your grand tour. Ride and handling.

It’s supercar fast, yes, but it won’t give you the satisfying tingles of a petrol-powered AMG great. For those who do need a rapid charge, Mercedes claims the EQE adds 250km driving range in 15 minutes using a DC ultra-rapid charger, thanks to a 170kW charge rate. That said, 3.5 seconds to 100km/h is rarely boring.

I bet the brakes would take a pasting, and those 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4s aren’t going to be cheap to replace after a few track sessions. That said, I stand by my belief I’d be happier with a comfier, rangier EV6 Air and then buy a fun petrol toy with the money saved. Some fun back roads? Very much up for that.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. For those hitting the road for a big drive it’s the DC fast charging that is the key metric – and that’s where the Kia and Hyundai fight back. Sure, there are cheaper options. Buy a beefier wallbox charger and those charge times drop to about 5.5

Options are very limited for super-breeders needing more than five seats – although the Kia EV9 due late in 2023 will provide a tantalising option – but a huge advantage of going EV (if built on an electric vehicle-only platform) is roomier and smarter interior packaging compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.
