I was going to say that the most fun I had in an EV this year was, as usual, in a Porsche Taycan , almost regardless of which model (although the entry-level, single-motor version is a bit of a slug ), but then I remembered that it has been bested, at least in terms of driving joy, if not outrageous speed.

2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N But as our European correspondent John Carey suggested , it’s less than half the price of a Porsche Taycan GTS ($248,300) and, having track tested both, can confirm the cheaper Hyundai’s a more thrilling track machine. Same power, incidentally, as a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. The steering feels well-weighted (not too light, but not like you’re trying to open a stubborn jar of pickles either). Kia Niro EV GT-Line interior. The second-generation Niro comes as a hybrid or an EV, the latter commanding a big price premium. Talking point.

Then its stylishly integrated door handles, giant 21-inch five-spoke alloys, clamshell bonnet and strikingly detailed LED lights everywhere (I don’t want to think about their replacement cost). There’s serious intricacy to much of the body design – especially around its sculpted, light fantastic rear end. Theatrical inside too.

It lacks the visual drama of Porsche’s Taycan or Audi’s e-tron GT , but that will suit those favouring the understated. The giant panoramic roof boosts the sense of space and light, bettered only by the optional white interior of our test car. Inside, a 12.8-inch

Bearing some design similarities to the Porsche Panamera, the GWM Ora Sport produces up to 300kW and 680Nm in more expensive dual-motor guise, promising seriously brisk acceleration. Now the value-focused maker wants to maintain the momentum with its circa-$100K two-seat roadster that plans to offer Porsche-like performance (0-100km/h in 2.6

Straight up, at $127,800, the GV70 Electrified does not sound cheap, but it is packed with gear and doesn’t charge you umpteen thousands in optional extras. The steering feedback is decent rather than spectacular and slightly on the light side for my taste, but overall it’s an involving drive experience when you want it to be.

It won’t be cheap, but Audi’s e-Tron GT and its more potent RS e-Tron GT sibling promise big performance. Utilising the underpinnings of the Porsche Taycan, the e-Tron GT’s sleek four-door body has head-turning looks on its side.

As an example, if you park by a lighting pole in the city or on the corner where you have an advertisement kiosk, it’s very easy to imagine that there is a place for a robotic arm to find the socket in your vehicle.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. Call me old fashioned, but at this price give me a classy, single colour tan leather cabin – BMW and Lexus do this so well – or black leather with sporty red stitching a la Porsche.
