It won’t be cheap, but Audi’s e-Tron GT and its more potent RS e-Tron GT sibling promise big performance. But it’s what’s beneath the skin that promises to tempt plenty of people out of the big-powered petrol engines that have dominated at this end of the market. But it’s the tech and comfort inside that could be a drawcard for the i7.

It’s big, boxy and stuffed full of tech, and — in its flagship GT-Line grade — is faster than most petrol-powered hot hatches. The Luxury is the cheaper of two RZ450e models, but that doesn’t actually make it cheap. But we reckon the mid-tier Earth might be the pick of the bunch. Maybe in the future.

So instead it’s hybrid and EV tech for Kia’s new entry-level electrified SUV. 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.

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.

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. You feel you’re in a special and exceptionally high-tech offering. Some fun back roads? Very much up for that. I set out and get amongst the twisties. Lovely attention to detail.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. It’s the most affordable, the briskest, the most efficient, has a sensible level of equipment – including the best tech across the car industry – and is fun to drive. Sure, there are cheaper options. It also mounts the most convincing case here.

EVs ain’t cheap Price is another EV purchase risk that is comparable to EV range. However, how long it takes to hit the break-even point depends on many factors , like the cost differential of a comparable ICE vehicle, depreciation, taxes, insurance costs, the cost of electricity/petrol in a region, whether charging takes place at home, etc.

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.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000.
