Best electrified cars 2017: Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model three and more

Electrical vehicles are becoming an increasingly practical option in everyday transport. Battery technology has evolved to the point where drivers no longer need to recharge their vehicles after brief journeys. Drivers can also take advantage of a growing network of charging stations across the country.

The majority of mainstream manufacturers are either selling electrified cars or developing one for release in the near future. Jaguar, for example, is developing its very first electrical car with the I-Pace SUV, while Nissan is looking to strengthen its Leaf by developing autonomous systems for the electrical hatchback.

Electrical motoring eliminates the cost of fuel and is tax free. What’s more, the government will give buyers up to £4,500 towards a fresh electrical vehicle.

Here are the best electrical vehicles coming out this year:

Tesla Model Three

The very first thirty examples of Tesla’s mass-production EV have left the factory, with company founder Elon Musk holding a handover party for the early pre-order customers.

The party also let critics get behind the wheel of the highly-anticipated Model three to see if it lived up to the hype.

TechCrunch calls it "a well-designed, mid-sized sedan that managed to simplify the Tesla design ethos with luxury in mind and without making it feel any less a part of the Tesla family".

It will "lightly (very lightly) exceed anything the vast majority of this car’s drivers will have ever experienced in similarly priced sedans", adds the website, while it’s electrified motor "gives you a thrill when you press the accelerator."

Bloomberg agrees, telling the EV feels "as thrilling as the fiercest roller coaster". This is particularly noticeable on the 310-mile range version, which boasts a zero to 60mph time of Five.1secs. Albeit it’s not fairly as powerful as the Model S P100D, the site says, it does cost significantly less than the range-topping saloon.

Jaguar I-Pace

Jaguar has just exposed its all-electric I-Pace and it’s expected to rival the Tesla Model X and Faraday Future FF 91.

Underneath the sleek skin of the I-Pace sit two electrified motors perched on the front and rear axles. Jaguar claims the electrical SUV has a power output of 395bhp and a zero to 60mph time of around four seconds.

The motors are paired to a 90kWh battery, which Jaguar says boasts a range of three hundred miles and can be charged in just over two hours. The claimed range is around fifty miles bashful of the Model X, albeit this may be improved closer to the car’s release through software and firmware updates.

Customers can register their interest in the I-Pace now before it goes on sale next year. Jaguar has yet to confirm prices, but if the I-Pace goes head-to-head with the Model X, expect it to cost around £60,000.

Volkswagen e-Up!

Volkswagen has refreshed its Up! range and with it comes a fresh, all-electric version of the compact city car.

Under the bonnet sits an 80bhp electrified motor coupled to an Legal.7kWh battery to suggest a claimed range of around ninety nine miles. Charging takes just 30mins from a dedicated DC charging station, albeit powering the car at home through an AC charger takes around six hours.

Autocar says the e-Up! is "spacious", "well specced" and feels "much sharper" than its petrol-powered equivalent. There are "no compromises" inwards, neither, as VW has simply interchanged the petrol motor for a battery without switching the layout of the cabin.

However, AutoExpress feels it’s "extortionately expensive" and the range "frustratingly brief". However, it does say the electrified powertrain means there’s no road tax nor fuel bills to factor in and there’s also a stationary price servicing option at £249, covering the car for three years or 30,000 miles.

The Volkswagen e-Up! is available for £25,280, with a range of paint options from £270 to £515.

Tesla Model X

Elon Musk’s electrified car company Tesla may have launched its Model X SUV in the US in 2015, but it has only just arrived on UK shores this year.

The Model X is the company’s largest car in the range and occupies its own space in the market. While some SUVs are cheaper and more luxurious, the Model X is the only SUV presently available with an electrified powertrain.

AutoExpress says that all models, ranging from the entry-level 75D to the P100D, suggest "very outstanding battery setups". Charging the batteries from an outlet at home is thought to cost only "a few pounds".

Despite its 5291lbs weight, the Model X’s treating is "right up there with the best sports SUVs", according to Top Gear. This is helped by the car’s all-wheel drive system, which permits drivers to carry speed into corners unlike other SUVs on the market.

The range kicks off with the 75D at £75,400, while the range-topping P100D offers a sub three-second and longer battery life for £135,600. There’s also a mid-range P90D that costs £84,000.

Faraday Future FF 91

Faraday Future is on course to launch its very first production car next year.

The FF ninety one SUV, which had its debut at the Consumer Electronics Showcase in January, is set to challenge with the Tesla Model X and be one of the fastest accelerating cars on the market, which a claimed zero to 60mph time of Two.39secs making it around 0.5secs swifter than Elon Musk’s creation.

It’s packed with the latest automotive technology, including onboard cameras that scan the user’s face to give access to the vehicle. Owners will also be able to customise and control their car using the FFCTRL companion app, which will be available on most smartphones closer to the car’s release.

Faraday Future has yet to expose prices for the FF ninety one SUV, but buyers can place a fully refundable deposit of $Five,000 (£4,077) now. Very first deliveries are expected to reach customers next year.

Hyundai Ioniq

Hyundai has announced its very first all-electric car, the Ioniq, which is set to take on the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model Trio.

The Ioniq is powered by an electrified motor coupled to a 28kWh lithium-ion battery, which combined produce 120bhp and 218lb ft torque. In sport mode, the Ioniq can go from zero to 62mph in 9.9secs and on to a top speed of 103mph.

Its battery has a range of up to one hundred seventy four miles, which is around twenty miles more than the Nissan Leaf hatchback. It can be charged using a traditional household electrical socket.

Prices commence from £24,495. Metallic and pearlescent paint options are an extra £565.

Nissan Leaf

Nissan looks set to introduce a fresh version of its Leaf electrical hatchback at the end of the year.

A fan questioned the Japanese car giant on a release date for prices on Twitter and was told the refreshed electrified vehicle "will be unveiled" in September.

Hi Dan, the fresh LEAF will be unveiled in Sept. We have no further information at this time. Thanks, ^ML

— Nissan Electrified UK (@NissanEV_UK) five June 2017

The Leaf "will get a more aggressive design" derived from the company’s Micra city car, according to Autocar. It’s expected the bod will have "more angular lines and firmer edges", which would be a totally different design to the current "soft-looking" styling.

"Nissan’s next-gen zero-emissions electrified hatchback will also have an improved electrified drivetrain," adds the magazine. It’s expected to have a range of three hundred forty miles – more than one hundred more than the upcoming Tesla Model Trio.

Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Nissan Renault Group, exposed at the Consumer Electronics Display (CES) in January that the fresh Leaf will be fitted with the rock hard’s Propilot autonomous system and feature Microsoft’s Cortana voiceover service.

More details are expected closer to the unveiling in September.

Jaguar I-Pace

Jaguar has just exposed its all-electric I-Pace and it’s expected to rival the Tesla Model X and Faraday Future FF 91.

Underneath the sleek skin of the I-Pace sit two electrical motors perched on the front and rear axles. Jaguar claims the electrical SUV has a power output of 395bhp and a zero to 60mph time of around four seconds.

The motors are paired to a 90kWh battery, which Jaguar says boasts a range of three hundred miles and can be charged in just over two hours. The claimed range is around fifty miles bashful of the Model X, albeit this may be improved closer to the car’s release through software and firmware updates.

Customers can register their interest in the I-Pace now before it goes on sale next year. Jaguar has yet to confirm prices, but if the I-Pace goes head-to-head with the Model X, expect it to cost around £60,000.

Volkswagen e-Up!

Volkswagen has refreshed its Up! range and with it comes a fresh, all-electric version of the compact city car.

Under the bonnet sits an 80bhp electrical motor coupled to an Legal.7kWh battery to suggest a claimed range of around ninety nine miles. Charging takes just 30mins from a dedicated DC charging station, albeit powering the car at home through an AC charger takes around six hours.

Autocar says the e-Up! is "spacious", "well specced" and feels "much sharper" than its petrol-powered equivalent. There are "no compromises" inwards, neither, as VW has simply interchanged the petrol motor for a battery without switching the layout of the cabin.

However, AutoExpress feels it’s "extortionately expensive" and the range "frustratingly brief". However, it does say the electrical powertrain means there’s no road tax nor fuel bills to factor in and there’s also a immovable price servicing option at £249, covering the car for three years or 30,000 miles.

The Volkswagen e-Up! is available for £25,280, with a range of paint options from £270 to £515.

Tesla Model X

Elon Musk’s electrified car company Tesla may have launched its Model X SUV in the US in 2015, but it has only just arrived on UK shores this year.

The Model X is the company’s largest car in the range and occupies its own space in the market. While some SUVs are cheaper and more luxurious, the Model X is the only SUV presently available with an electrified powertrain.

AutoExpress says that all models, ranging from the entry-level 75D to the P100D, suggest "very awesome battery setups". Charging the batteries from an outlet at home is thought to cost only "a few pounds".

Despite its 5291lbs weight, the Model X’s treating is "right up there with the best sports SUVs", according to Top Gear. This is helped by the car’s all-wheel drive system, which permits drivers to carry speed into corners unlike other SUVs on the market.

The range kicks off with the 75D at £75,400, while the range-topping P100D offers a sub three-second and longer battery life for £135,600. There’s also a mid-range P90D that costs £84,000.

The Ioniq is powered by an electrified motor coupled to a 28kWh lithium-ion battery, which combined produce 120bhp and 218lb ft torque. In sport mode, the Ioniq can go from zero to 62mph in 9.9secs and on to a top speed of 103mph.

Its battery has a range of up to one hundred seventy four miles, which is around twenty miles more than the Nissan Leaf hatchback. It can be charged using a traditional household electrified socket.

Prices commence from £24,495. Metallic and pearlescent paint options are an extra £565.

Nissan Leaf

Nissan looks set to introduce a fresh version of its Leaf electrical hatchback at the end of the year.

A fan questioned the Japanese car giant on a release date for prices on Twitter and was told the refreshed electrified vehicle "will be unveiled" in September.

Hi Dan, the fresh LEAF will be unveiled in Sept. We have no further information at this time. Thanks, ^ML

The Leaf "will get a more aggressive design" derived from the company’s Micra city car, according to Autocar. It’s expected the assets will have "more angular lines and tighter edges", which would be a totally different design to the current "soft-looking" styling.

"Nissan’s next-gen zero-emissions electrical hatchback will also have an improved electrical drivetrain," adds the magazine. It’s expected to have a range of three hundred forty miles – more than one hundred more than the upcoming Tesla Model Trio.

Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Nissan Renault Group, exposed at the Consumer Electronics Display (CES) in January that the fresh Leaf will be fitted with the rigid’s Propilot autonomous system and feature Microsoft’s Cortana voiceover service.

Best electrified cars 2017: Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model three and more

Electrified vehicles are becoming an increasingly practical option in everyday transport. Battery technology has evolved to the point where drivers no longer need to recharge their vehicles after brief journeys. Drivers can also take advantage of a growing network of charging stations across the country.

The majority of mainstream manufacturers are either selling electrical cars or developing one for release in the near future. Jaguar, for example, is developing its very first electrical car with the I-Pace SUV, while Nissan is looking to strengthen its Leaf by developing autonomous systems for the electrical hatchback.

Electrical motoring eliminates the cost of fuel and is tax free. What’s more, the government will give buyers up to £4,500 towards a fresh electrical vehicle.

Here are the best electrical vehicles coming out this year:

Tesla Model Three

The very first thirty examples of Tesla’s mass-production EV have left the factory, with company founder Elon Musk holding a handover party for the early pre-order customers.

The party also let critics get behind the wheel of the highly-anticipated Model three to see if it lived up to the hype.

TechCrunch calls it "a well-designed, mid-sized sedan that managed to simplify the Tesla design ethos with luxury in mind and without making it feel any less a part of the Tesla family".

Customers can register their interest in the I-Pace now before it goes on sale next year. Jaguar has yet to confirm prices, but if the I-Pace goes head-to-head with the Model X, expect it to cost around £60,000.

Volkswagen e-Up!

Volkswagen has refreshed its Up! range and with it comes a fresh, all-electric version of the compact city car.

Under the bonnet sits an 80bhp electrified motor coupled to an Legitimate.7kWh battery to suggest a claimed range of around ninety nine miles. Charging takes just 30mins from a dedicated DC charging station, albeit powering the car at home through an AC charger takes around six hours.

Autocar says the e-Up! is "spacious", "well specced" and feels "much sharper" than its petrol-powered equivalent. There are "no compromises" inwards, neither, as VW has simply exchanged the petrol motor for a battery without switching the layout of the cabin.

However, AutoExpress feels it’s "extortionately expensive" and the range "frustratingly brief". However, it does say the electrified powertrain means there’s no road tax nor fuel bills to factor in and there’s also a motionless price servicing option at £249, covering the car for three years or 30,000 miles.

The Volkswagen e-Up! is available for £25,280, with a range of paint options from £270 to £515.

Tesla Model X

Elon Musk’s electrified car company Tesla may have launched its Model X SUV in the US in 2015, but it has only just arrived on UK shores this year.

The Model X is the company’s largest car in the range and occupies its own space in the market. While some SUVs are cheaper and more luxurious, the Model X is the only SUV presently available with an electrical powertrain.

AutoExpress says that all models, ranging from the entry-level 75D to the P100D, suggest "very extraordinaire battery setups". Charging the batteries from an outlet at home is thought to cost only "a few pounds".

Despite its 5291lbs weight, the Model X’s treating is "right up there with the best sports SUVs", according to Top Gear. This is helped by the car’s all-wheel drive system, which permits drivers to carry speed into corners unlike other SUVs on the market.

The range kicks off with the 75D at £75,400, while the range-topping P100D offers a sub three-second and longer battery life for £135,600. There’s also a mid-range P90D that costs £84,000.

Nissan Leaf

Nissan looks set to introduce a fresh version of its Leaf electrical hatchback at the end of the year.

A fan questioned the Japanese car giant on a release date for prices on Twitter and was told the refreshed electrical vehicle "will be unveiled" in September.

Hi Dan, the fresh LEAF will be unveiled in Sept. We have no further information at this time. Thanks, ^ML

The Leaf "will get a more aggressive design" derived from the company’s Micra city car, according to Autocar. It’s expected the figure will have "more angular lines and stiffer edges", which would be a entirely different design to the current "soft-looking" styling.

"Nissan’s next-gen zero-emissions electrical hatchback will also have an improved electrical drivetrain," adds the magazine. It’s expected to have a range of three hundred forty miles – more than one hundred more than the upcoming Tesla Model Trio.

Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Nissan Renault Group, exposed at the Consumer Electronics Demonstrate (CES) in January that the fresh Leaf will be fitted with the stiff’s Propilot autonomous system and feature Microsoft’s Cortana voiceover service.

Best electrified cars 2017: Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model three and more

Electrified vehicles are becoming an increasingly practical option in everyday transport. Battery technology has evolved to the point where drivers no longer need to recharge their vehicles after brief journeys. Drivers can also take advantage of a growing network of charging stations across the country.

The majority of mainstream manufacturers are either selling electrified cars or developing one for release in the near future. Jaguar, for example, is developing its very first electrical car with the I-Pace SUV, while Nissan is looking to strengthen its Leaf by developing autonomous systems for the electrified hatchback.

Electrified motoring eliminates the cost of fuel and is tax free. What’s more, the government will give buyers up to £4,500 towards a fresh electrical vehicle.

Here are the best electrified vehicles coming out this year:

Tesla Model Three

The very first thirty examples of Tesla’s mass-production EV have left the factory, with company founder Elon Musk holding a handover party for the early pre-order customers.

The party also let critics get behind the wheel of the highly-anticipated Model three to see if it lived up to the hype.

TechCrunch calls it "a well-designed, mid-sized sedan that managed to simplify the Tesla design ethos with luxury in mind and without making it feel any less a part of the Tesla family".

It will "lightly (very lightly) exceed anything the vast majority of this car’s drivers will have ever experienced in similarly priced sedans", adds the website, while it’s electrified motor "gives you a thrill when you press the accelerator."

Bloomberg agrees, telling the EV feels "as thrilling as the fiercest roller coaster". This is particularly noticeable on the 310-mile range version, which boasts a zero to 60mph time of Five.1secs. Albeit it’s not fairly as powerful as the Model S P100D, the site says, it does cost significantly less than the range-topping saloon.

However, it does say the electrical powertrain means there’s no road tax nor fuel bills to factor in and there’s also a immobile price servicing option at £249, covering the car for three years or 30,000 miles.

The Volkswagen e-Up! is available for £25,280, with a range of paint options from £270 to £515.

Tesla Model X

Elon Musk’s electrified car company Tesla may have launched its Model X SUV in the US in 2015, but it has only just arrived on UK shores this year.

The Model X is the company’s largest car in the range and occupies its own space in the market. While some SUVs are cheaper and more luxurious, the Model X is the only SUV presently available with an electrical powertrain.

AutoExpress says that all models, ranging from the entry-level 75D to the P100D, suggest "very epic battery setups". Charging the batteries from an outlet at home is thought to cost only "a few pounds".

Despite its 5291lbs weight, the Model X’s treating is "right up there with the best sports SUVs", according to Top Gear. This is helped by the car’s all-wheel drive system, which permits drivers to carry speed into corners unlike other SUVs on the market.

The range kicks off with the 75D at £75,400, while the range-topping P100D offers a sub three-second and longer battery life for £135,600. There’s also a mid-range P90D that costs £84,000.

Faraday Future FF 91

Faraday Future is on course to launch its very first production car next year.

The FF ninety one SUV, which had its debut at the Consumer Electronics Showcase in January, is set to contest with the Tesla Model X and be one of the fastest accelerating cars on the market, which a claimed zero to 60mph time of Two.39secs making it around 0.5secs swifter than Elon Musk’s creation.

It’s packed with the latest automotive technology, including onboard cameras that scan the user’s face to give access to the vehicle. Owners will also be able to customise and control their car using the FFCTRL companion app, which will be available on most smartphones closer to the car’s release.

Faraday Future has yet to expose prices for the FF ninety one SUV, but buyers can place a fully refundable deposit of $Five,000 (£4,077) now. Very first deliveries are expected to reach customers next year.

Hyundai Ioniq

Hyundai has announced its very first all-electric car, the Ioniq, which is set to take on the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model Three.

The Ioniq is powered by an electrified motor coupled to a 28kWh lithium-ion battery, which combined produce 120bhp and 218lb ft torque. In sport mode, the Ioniq can go from zero to 62mph in 9.9secs and on to a top speed of 103mph.

Its battery has a range of up to one hundred seventy four miles, which is around twenty miles more than the Nissan Leaf hatchback. It can be charged using a traditional household electrical socket.

Prices commence from £24,495. Metallic and pearlescent paint options are an extra £565.

Nissan Leaf

Nissan looks set to introduce a fresh version of its Leaf electrified hatchback at the end of the year.

A fan questioned the Japanese car giant on a release date for prices on Twitter and was told the refreshed electrical vehicle "will be unveiled" in September.

Hi Dan, the fresh LEAF will be unveiled in Sept. We have no further information at this time. Thanks, ^ML

— Nissan Electrical UK (@NissanEV_UK) five June 2017

The Leaf "will get a more aggressive design" derived from the company’s Micra city car, according to Autocar. It’s expected the bod will have "more angular lines and tighter edges", which would be a fully different design to the current "soft-looking" styling.

"Nissan’s next-gen zero-emissions electrified hatchback will also have an improved electrified drivetrain," adds the magazine. It’s expected to have a range of three hundred forty miles – more than one hundred more than the upcoming Tesla Model Three.

Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Nissan Renault Group, exposed at the Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) in January that the fresh Leaf will be fitted with the rock hard’s Propilot autonomous system and feature Microsoft’s Cortana voiceover service.

More details are expected closer to the unveiling in September.

Best electrical cars 2017: Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model three and more

Electrified vehicles are becoming an increasingly practical option in everyday transport. Battery technology has evolved to the point where drivers no longer need to recharge their vehicles after brief journeys. Drivers can also take advantage of a growing network of charging stations across the country.

The majority of mainstream manufacturers are either selling electrified cars or developing one for release in the near future. Jaguar, for example, is developing its very first electrical car with the I-Pace SUV, while Nissan is looking to strengthen its Leaf by developing autonomous systems for the electrical hatchback.

Electrified motoring eliminates the cost of fuel and is tax free. What’s more, the government will give buyers up to £4,500 towards a fresh electrified vehicle.

Here are the best electrified vehicles coming out this year:

Tesla Model Trio

The very first thirty examples of Tesla’s mass-production EV have left the factory, with company founder Elon Musk holding a handover party for the early pre-order customers.

The party also let critics get behind the wheel of the highly-anticipated Model three to see if it lived up to the hype.

TechCrunch calls it "a well-designed, mid-sized sedan that managed to simplify the Tesla design ethos with luxury in mind and without making it feel any less a part of the Tesla family".

It will "lightly (very lightly) exceed anything the vast majority of this car’s drivers will have ever experienced in similarly priced sedans", adds the website, while it’s electrical motor "gives you a thrill when you press the accelerator."

Bloomberg agrees, telling the EV feels "as thrilling as the fiercest roller coaster". This is particularly noticeable on the 310-mile range version, which boasts a zero to 60mph time of Five.1secs. Albeit it’s not fairly as powerful as the Model S P100D, the site says, it does cost significantly less than the range-topping saloon.

Jaguar I-Pace

Jaguar has just exposed its all-electric I-Pace and it’s expected to rival the Tesla Model X and Faraday Future FF 91.

Underneath the sleek skin of the I-Pace sit two electrical motors perched on the front and rear axles. Jaguar claims the electrical SUV has a power output of 395bhp and a zero to 60mph time of around four seconds.

The motors are paired to a 90kWh battery, which Jaguar says boasts a range of three hundred miles and can be charged in just over two hours. The claimed range is around fifty miles timid of the Model X, albeit this may be improved closer to the car’s release through software and firmware updates.

Customers can register their interest in the I-Pace now before it goes on sale next year. Jaguar has yet to confirm prices, but if the I-Pace goes head-to-head with the Model X, expect it to cost around £60,000.

Volkswagen e-Up!

Volkswagen has refreshed its Up! range and with it comes a fresh, all-electric version of the compact city car.

Under the bonnet sits an 80bhp electrical motor coupled to an Legal.7kWh battery to suggest a claimed range of around ninety nine miles. Charging takes just 30mins from a dedicated DC charging station, albeit powering the car at home through an AC charger takes around six hours.

Autocar says the e-Up! is "spacious", "well specced" and feels "much sharper" than its petrol-powered equivalent. There are "no compromises" inwards, neither, as VW has simply exchanged the petrol motor for a battery without switching the layout of the cabin.

Despite its 5291lbs weight, the Model X’s treating is "right up there with the best sports SUVs", according to Top Gear. This is helped by the car’s all-wheel drive system, which permits drivers to carry speed into corners unlike other SUVs on the market.

The range kicks off with the 75D at £75,400, while the range-topping P100D offers a sub three-second and longer battery life for £135,600. There’s also a mid-range P90D that costs £84,000.

The Leaf "will get a more aggressive design" derived from the company’s Micra city car, according to Autocar. It’s expected the figure will have "more angular lines and stiffer edges", which would be a entirely different design to the current "soft-looking" styling.

"Nissan’s next-gen zero-emissions electrical hatchback will also have an improved electrified drivetrain," adds the magazine. It’s expected to have a range of three hundred forty miles – more than one hundred more than the upcoming Tesla Model Trio.

Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Nissan Renault Group, exposed at the Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) in January that the fresh Leaf will be fitted with the rock-hard’s Propilot autonomous system and feature Microsoft’s Cortana voiceover service.

More details are expected closer to the unveiling in September.

Best electrified cars 2017: Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model three and more

Electrical vehicles are becoming an increasingly practical option in everyday transport. Battery technology has evolved to the point where drivers no longer need to recharge their vehicles after brief journeys. Drivers can also take advantage of a growing network of charging stations across the country.

The majority of mainstream manufacturers are either selling electrical cars or developing one for release in the near future. Jaguar, for example, is developing its very first electrified car with the I-Pace SUV, while Nissan is looking to strengthen its Leaf by developing autonomous systems for the electrical hatchback.

Electrified motoring eliminates the cost of fuel and is tax free. What’s more, the government will give buyers up to £4,500 towards a fresh electrified vehicle.

Here are the best electrical vehicles coming out this year:

Tesla Model Trio

The very first thirty examples of Tesla’s mass-production EV have left the factory, with company founder Elon Musk holding a handover party for the early pre-order customers.

The party also let critics get behind the wheel of the highly-anticipated Model three to see if it lived up to the hype.

TechCrunch calls it "a well-designed, mid-sized sedan that managed to simplify the Tesla design ethos with luxury in mind and without making it feel any less a part of the Tesla family".

It will "lightly (very lightly) exceed anything the vast majority of this car’s drivers will have ever experienced in similarly priced sedans", adds the website, while it’s electrified motor "gives you a thrill when you press the accelerator."

Bloomberg agrees, telling the EV feels "as thrilling as the fiercest roller coaster". This is particularly noticeable on the 310-mile range version, which boasts a zero to 60mph time of Five.1secs. Albeit it’s not fairly as powerful as the Model S P100D, the site says, it does cost significantly less than the range-topping saloon.

Jaguar I-Pace

Jaguar has just exposed its all-electric I-Pace and it’s expected to rival the Tesla Model X and Faraday Future FF 91.

Underneath the sleek skin of the I-Pace sit two electrified motors perched on the front and rear axles. Jaguar claims the electrified SUV has a power output of 395bhp and a zero to 60mph time of around four seconds.

The motors are paired to a 90kWh battery, which Jaguar says boasts a range of three hundred miles and can be charged in just over two hours. The claimed range is around fifty miles timid of the Model X, albeit this may be improved closer to the car’s release through software and firmware updates.

Customers can register their interest in the I-Pace now before it goes on sale next year. Jaguar has yet to confirm prices, but if the I-Pace goes head-to-head with the Model X, expect it to cost around £60,000.

Volkswagen e-Up!

Volkswagen has refreshed its Up! range and with it comes a fresh, all-electric version of the compact city car.

Under the bonnet sits an 80bhp electrified motor coupled to an Eighteen.7kWh battery to suggest a claimed range of around ninety nine miles. Charging takes just 30mins from a dedicated DC charging station, albeit powering the car at home through an AC charger takes around six hours.

Autocar says the e-Up! is "spacious", "well specced" and feels "much sharper" than its petrol-powered equivalent. There are "no compromises" inwards, neither, as VW has simply exchanged the petrol motor for a battery without switching the layout of the cabin.

However, AutoExpress feels it’s "extortionately expensive" and the range "frustratingly brief". However, it does say the electrified powertrain means there’s no road tax nor fuel bills to factor in and there’s also a immovable price servicing option at £249, covering the car for three years or 30,000 miles.

The Volkswagen e-Up! is available for £25,280, with a range of paint options from £270 to £515.

Tesla Model X

Elon Musk’s electrical car company Tesla may have launched its Model X SUV in the US in 2015, but it has only just arrived on UK shores this year.

The Model X is the company’s largest car in the range and occupies its own space in the market. While some SUVs are cheaper and more luxurious, the Model X is the only SUV presently available with an electrified powertrain.

AutoExpress says that all models, ranging from the entry-level 75D to the P100D, suggest "very exceptional battery setups". Charging the batteries from an outlet at home is thought to cost only "a few pounds".
