Tesla's executive car is the best around, combining a superb real-world range with great comfort and practicality. Plus, buying one gets you preferential access to the brand's range of fast and reliable superchargers – so even if you'll be relying on the public charging network to keep your batteries topped up, things should be as convenient as possible.

It's not as if going for the entry-level RWD model will leave you feeling short-changed, either. The 0-60mph sprint is completed in a rapid 5.8sec, which is faster than an equivalent BMW i4 or Hyundai Ioniq 6 can manage. And when it comes to range, the official number is 318 miles – even in real-world conditions, then, you might only find yourself charging up a couple of times per week.

The Model 3's interior is dominated by big and bright 15.4in touchscreen which controls almost every function. It takes some getting used to, but is quick to respond to your inputs and loaded with features. It even includes some games to play while you charge up.

“It took me a little while to find all of the Model 3's hidden infotainment Easter Eggs, but whether you're looking for a laugh or just a moment's curiosity, they're worth seeking out.” – Claire Evans, Consumer Editor

Our reigning Small Electric SUV of the Year is comfortable over long distances. Its fairly soft suspension setup helps it to smooth over lumps and bumps around town, and waft along on the motorway. Combined with the decent range of 270 miles officially, the EV3 is a good companion to drive on faster roads. You can pay a little more to upgrade to a Long Range model, which has an official range of 375 miles, and at that level the EV3 can travel further than the rival Hyundai Kona Electric or Mini Aceman.

No matter which version you go for, you'll get a single 201bhp electric motor which drives the front wheels. The 0-62mph sprint time of 7.5sec isn't among the fastest out there, but it's enough performance for most people, most of the time.

A couple of tall adults will have no trouble getting comfortable in the back of the EV3, where there's more space than you'd find in the Jeep Avenger Electric or Volvo EX30. The boot is larger than in the Avenger, too, so you won't struggle to carry your weekly shop or a couple of holiday suitcases.

“Like plenty of electric SUVs, the Kia EV3 has a one-pedal driving mode. Unlike some rivals, though, I found this very easy to use, and the regenerative force is powerful enough to bring the car to a full stop.” – Dan Jones, Senior Reviewer

If you'll regularly be carrying passengers in your company car, then the Elroq deserves serious consideration. That's because it's among the most spacious electric cars around, with room to fit three adults side by side on its rear bench, where nobody will feel short-changed because it has a completely flat floor.

Meanwhile, if you're in the front, you'll find lots of space to stretch out. And while the boot is more in the middle of the electric SUV pack, we still managed to fit six carry-on suitcases below the parcel shelf. It's worth knowing that the Renault Scenic managed one more, though.

The '50' version of the Elroq we've chosen here comes with a 168bhp electric motor which offers acceptable, if not exactly exciting, performance. Still, upgrading to the 201bhp '60' model won't cost you a lot more per month. SE trim cars – the only trim you can get with the '50' Elroq – come with plenty of kit, including 19in alloy wheels, LED headlights and climate control.

"While the Elroq doesn't have an under-floor boot compartment to store your charging cables, I thought its solution of a net to hold them against the underside of the parcel shelf was a genius workaround.” – Darren Moss, Deputy Editor

The Renault 5 may have looks which evoke nostalgia, but the technology underpinning this small electric car is bang up to date. For one thing, even the cheapest models have an official range of 193 miles – and that's more than enough if you'll mainly be driving in the city. Comfort Range models grow that figure to 253 miles officially, meaning longer trips between charges don't have to be out of reach. And speaking of charging, a 10-80% top-up can be completed in as little as half an hour in ideal conditions, assuming you're using a fast enough charging point.

Inside the 5, you'll find digital instruments and a 10.1in touchscreen that's angled towards the driver. This is based on Google technology, meaning you get Google maps and the brand's AI assistant built in. And while it's inevitably a bit distracting to use while you're driving, it is more intuitive than the setup you get in other small electric cars such as the Fiat 500e or Mini Cooper Electric.

Taller adults will feel a bit hemmed in on the rear bench of the Renault 5, but head room is decent enough. We managed to fit four carry-on suitcases into the 5's boot, which is less than the Citroën ë-C3 can manage, but at least there's an extra space under the boot floor to store your charging cables.

All things considered, the Renault 5 is so good that we named it our overall Car of the Year for 2025.

“If I were in the market for a Renault 5, I'd choose mid-rung Techno trim. This comes with everything you need, including the Google-based infotainment system, a pre-conditioning function for the battery and adaptive cruise control, among other goodies.” – Stuart Milne, Digital Editor

The BMW iX is proof that even when you're running a large and luxurious electric SUV, as a company car driver you can still take advantage of very lucrative tax savings. And the iX is luxurious indeed, with an interior which is brimming both with high-quality materials and the latest technology, and enough space to make sure that even if you're on the tall side, you'll have plenty of room to stretch out. 

The xDrive45's 94.8kWh (usable capacity) battery is enormous, and it grants an impressive official range of 374 miles. That's more than the rival Mercedes EQE SUV 350+ can manage, and makes the 426-mile range of the more expensive xDrive60 version of the iX seem a little excessive. And thanks to a peak charging rate of 175kW, charging the iX's battery from 10-80% need only take half an hour if you can find a charging point capable of supplying enough juice.

A low centre of gravity makes the iX feel more composed through the bends than a Mercedes G-Class or Range Rover, and it feels effortless to rive around town. You can even specify rear-wheel steering through the options list, which makes this large SUV feel even more manoeuvrable at low speeds.

“I like that the iX still comes with a physical controller for its infotainment system – it makes scrolling through the various menus, or just inputting a destination into the sat-nav, so much easier than relying on touch or voice control.” – Oliver Young, Reviewer

If you're lucky enough to be considering a BMW i7 as your next company car, the chances are that you own – or manage – the company you're buying it for, and if that's the case you deserve the best. And the i7 is one of the best electric luxury cars around.

Not only can it travel a long way between charges, being officially capable of 379 miles in eDrive50 form, but it's loaded with kit. The standard list of equipment includes everything from heated front and rear seats to wireless phone charging and a head-up display.

That's before you get to how spacious it is – even if your driver is really tall, you'll still have room enough to relax in palatial comfort on the rear bench. And if your business trip extends over the weekend, then you'll be glad to know that your suitcases shouldn't trouble the 500-litre boot.

If you're doing the driving yourself, then you'll appreciate that the i7 feels keener to turn into corners than an Audi A8 or Mercedes S-Class, and that the ride has no trouble in cushioning you from any minor inconveniences in the road surface.

“If your company car budget allows for it, then the range-topping M70 xDrive model offers 650bhp from its two electric motors, allowing you to complete the 0-62mph sprint in just 3.7sec. The way that acceleration pins you back into your seat is exciting, but not savage.” – George Hill, Used Cars Writer

Where once the Renault Scenic was a fairly frumpy family people carrier, now it's a top-notch electric SUV. And if you're not a fan of overwhelming choice when choosing your next car, it offers a breath of fresh air – because there's only one motor and battery combination available. 

With 215bhp on offer, the Scenic will take more time to reach 60mph than the MG S5, Skoda Elroq or Tesla Model Y in equivalent specifications, but its performance is perfectly fine for everyday use. Better is the fact that every version gets an 87kWh battery, which allows for a range of up to 381 miles – more than any version of the Elroq can manage.

We like that sitting inside the Scenic places you higher up than in the rival Kia EV6, and that helps to give you a good view ove the car. And while the small rear windscreen and wide rear pillars hamper your view out of the back, standard front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera help to avoid any embarrassing scrapes in the corporate car park.

“I think it's a shame that the Scenic's rear seats don't recline like they do in the Kia EV6 or Tesla Model Y, which would help to give that extra bit of comfort for your passengers. The seats don't slide back and forth, either.” – Steve Huntingford, Editor

Not everyone needs lots of space and a big electric range, and if you'll mainly be driving in the city and mainly with only a few people in the car, then the Cupra Born makes a lot of sense. It makes especially good sense if you're a keen driver, because its accurate, well-weighted steering and decent body control makes it more engaging on a country road than the rival MG4.

The Born is also rather comfortable. Although it shares many of its oily components with the Volkswagen ID 3, the Born has been set up with a firmer suspension, but it still does a good job of soaking up lumps and bumps. A few non-electric family car rivals such as the Seat Leon and VW Golf are event better in this regard.

A tall passenger will find that they have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of the Born, even if they're sat behind a tall driver. There's more leg room than you'd find in a Peugeot e-308, Renault Megane or Vauxhall Astra Electric.

Entry-level V1 cars come with 19in alloy wheels, climate control and adaptive cruise control, but if you want more luxuries upgrading to V2 trim shouldn't cost you much more per month.

"The Born's boot volume is on a par with the ID 3's, but its different shape meant I was able to cram in an extra carry-on suitcase, which was useful on a couple of airport pick-ups." – Darren Moss, Deputy Editor

Given that the Tesla Model Y is essentially a Model 3 on stilts, it won't surprise you to learn that many of the same attributes which make that car so recommendable apply here too. Among them are the infotainment system we praised earlier, and preferential access to the brand's Supercharger network.

Every version of the Model Y feels quick to drive, with even the entry-level RWD model we're looking at here able to cover the 0-60mph sprint in 5.6sec. That's quicker than the cheapest Kia EV6. And while the RWD Model Y doesn't get the headline-grabbing official range of the Long Range versions (387 miles), we think the RWD's 311-mile range will still be enough for most people.

There's more leg and head room for rear passengers than in the Model 3, meaning a couple of six-footers will be very comfortable on the rear bench. Just bear in mind that where previous versions of the Model Y were available with seven seats, the current car is a five-seater only.

“I'm a big fan of the Model Y's front boot, because it gives you a dedicated space to store your charging cables. And that keeps them from getting tangled up with the rest of your luggage in the boot.” – Doug Revolta, Head of Video

Standard Range versions of the Inster may only have an official range of 203 miles, but that should still be enough for those who mainly drive on city streets. And that range is still more than you'll get from some rivals, such as the Dacia Spring and Citroën ë-C3. Upgrading to the Long Range model increases that figure to 229 miles, courtesy of a larger 46kWh battery, and won't cost you much more per month in company car tax.

Around town is where the Inster excels, where its small, boxy proportions and light steering make it a doddle to weave in and out of traffic. And while the Inster's handling is neat enough on faster roads, it's never quite as agile as the rival Renault 5.

Inside, the Inster offers a comfortable driving position and good all-round visibility, while a couple of six-footers will be comfortable on the rear bench so long as you go for 02 trim and above, since this brings the ability to slide the rear bench backwards to increase leg room. Even with the rear bench slid all the way back, there's enough room in the Inster's boot for a couple of holiday suitcases.

"I'm seriously impressed at how much kit Hyundai has crammed into the Inster – a feat that's made all the more impressive when you remember that this is also one of the cheapest electric cars around." – Dan Jones, Senior Reviewer
