  Price £77,980-£92,980Range 367-379 miles
  Charging time: 6h (16.5kW wallbox), 38 min (10-80%, 200kW)
  Rating: 4.5/5The Model S was arguably the first all-electric car that you could easily use in place of a combustion-engined equivalent when it launched eight years ago. Today, it’s still one of the best EVs around. 
  The 2020 line-up comprises two high-end, ultra long-range models. But if you’re a potential Mercedes S-Class or Porsche Panamera buyer, then the Model S st

  Charging time: 8h-11h 45 min (wallbox), 22 min (10-80%, 250kW)
  Rating: 5/5The Model 3 was the electric car many had been waiting for. It’s a compact executive saloon rivalling the likes of the Mercedes C-Class and BMW 3 Series – a market with broad mainstream appeal – and it’s also one of the most convincing electric cars that money can buy.

  Rating: 4/5In a similar situation to Audi, Mercedes was desperate to get a pure-electric model to market – and the EQC is the result. Eventually there will be a full range of bespoke electric EQ Mercedes, but in this case, the first model to wear the badge is an SUV that shares much with the mid-sized GLC range.

  The range starts with the e-Niro ‘2’ at around £29,595 after factoring in the government’s plug-in car grant - although the range is limited to 180 miles. Using the same electric powertrain as the Hyundai Kona
