Tesla's quiet and comfortable Model S saloon is as capable as it is desirable, offering staggering performance and an impressive range. It’s practical, too, while almost all of the car’s controls are accessed via a massive 17in touchscreen that's easy to personalise and updates wirelessly to bring new features.

Audi E-tron

The Audi E-tron doesn’t feel as sporty to drive as the rival Jaguar I-Pace, and it has a shorter range. However, it’s the classier of the two inside and the quieter cruiser. In a first for a production car, buyers can improve the aerodynamics by opting to remove the E-tron’s door mirrors and replace them with cameras that feed into small screens inside.

Hyundai Kona Electric 64kWh

The powerful 64kWh Kona Electric blasts range anxiety out of the water with a real-world range of around 259 miles between charges – the best performance of any car we've had on our Real Range test. Even the less powerful 39kWh version manages a respectable 158 miles, which should be plenty for most commutes. Add in the fact that the Kona Electric is reasonably priced and has great acceleration, and it’s no surprise we rate it as one of the best electric cars on the market.
