The price is substantial, but the Porsche Taycan is proof the German sports car giant will still have plenty to offer once the combustion engine reaches its expiry date. Mind-bending dynamics, great range, as well as the choice of GT (fastback) or Cross Turismo (wagon) body styles should keep Porsche front of mind in the EV era.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a visual spectacle, losing so little from the cyberpunk-inspired ‘45’ concept car from which it’s derived, but it’s this car’s incredible platform and 800V architecture which sets it apart. It represents one of the few vehicles which is future-proofed for when ultra-fast charging is a more common reality. Updates in late 2023 have only made the Ioniq 5 more competitive on price.
Price | From $65,000 |
Range | From 384km |
Power | From 125kW/350Nm |
Energy consumption | 16.7kWh/100km |

Kia EV9

Kia’s EV9 might be the first mainstream vehicle from the Korean brand to hit the $100K mark, but it somehow manages to feel great value thanks to its stellar design, excellent build quality, semi-luxury feel and surprisingly adept driving dynamics.
On top of that it also manages to offer every EV feature under the sun and solid driving range, making it much more than just one of the only large electric SUVs on the market.
Price | From $97,000 |
Range | From 384km |
Power | From 160kW/350Nm |
Energy consumption | 19.5kWh/100km |
