This article explores the rising cost of electric vehicles (EVs) and examines several recent models from different manufacturers, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
Volkswagen has a nasty habit of making really good EVs that are just too darned expensive – we’re looking at you, ID.Buzz. But while this ID.7 saloon is pricey, it’s also impossible to ignore that it offers substantially more range from the same battery pack as taller, bulkier SUV models, and it’s one of the comfiest and most refined cars on the road. The tourer estate is wonderfully useful and stylish.
Suddenly Polestar has jumped from being a one-car brand to having three models on sale, and while the updated 2 and pricey 3 have their charms, there’s no question that the slinky-looking Polestar 4 is the eponymous star of the line-up. Quick (even in basic RWD form), good to drive and with a cracking interior – but will you get used to that blanked-off rear window?The massive EX90 is a good reminder that Volvo has been a champ in the big SUV business ever since the original XC90 was launched in 2002, and the EX isn’t going to drop that particular ball. As enormously spacious as it is just plain enormous, the EX90 also benefits from a lengthy one-charge range, and of course is spectacularly safe. Just fix the touchscreen please, Volvo.Hyundai has taken the big, bulky, family-friendly Ioniq 5 and somehow concocted not only a stormingly fast electric car but one that actually tugs at the heartstrings in a way EVs aren’t supposed to be able to do. Towering power, but also with a sense of fun around its simulated gear shifts and synthetic engine noises. Plus, it has properly good steering and chassis balance. A landmark electric car.
