Best electric cars 2024 – the EVs to buy and those to avoid


Grand tourers need to be sleek, fast and capable of covering huge distances. And for that alone, the Audi E-tron GT lives up to its name. Officially, it can accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.1sec, but at the hands of our testers, it’s gone even faster. It can cover up to 305 miles on a charge and can accept charging speeds of up to 270kW. If you can find a charger with enough oomph, only the Porsche Taycan and Maserati GranTurismo Folgore can match it.

The E-tron GT is a little softer than the more agile Taycan, but it still drives superbly, and is far more entertaining than a Tesla Model S. It’s also nicer inside, and unlike both the Tesla and Taycan, there are physical buttons for regularly-used features. There’s no doubting the tech, which is easy to use and the screens are clear and responsive.

It’s not quite perfect, though. With a starting price of more than £80,000, it’s quite pricey even if resale values are very good. And there’s a bit of whine from the motor – but if you can overlook that, it really is a fine electric car.

“Most of the E-tron GT’s dashboard controls take the form of physical buttons, making quick adjustments really easy on the move,” – Neil Winn, Deputy Reviews Editor
