Best EV: Ultimate Comparison of 24 Electric Cars | Chasing Cars

There’s a proliferation of electric vehicles in Australia now, and they come in all shapes, sizes, and price brackets.

While EVs are not viable for everyone yet, it’s fair to say those who are considering the jump from combustion cars to electrics are spoilt for choice.

So, which EVs are the best? Chasing Cars has the answers after gathering 24 battery vehicles and grouping them into three brackets: Under $60,000, $60-80,000, and $80,000 up to the LCT (Luxury Car Tax) threshold.

Our comprehensive testing incorporated urban road loops, dynamic ‘country road’ drives at a special private facility, and testing of acceleration, braking, battery efficiencies and ranges, and recharging capabilities.
