However, it is not only cheap electric cars that have impressed in the past year, but there is a whole range of impressive vehicles.
Below are some of our favorites that we tested in 2024, in alphabetical order.
Alfa Romeo Junior
Alfa Romeo’s first electric car is spelled Junior, after it was forced to change its name from Milan. It is an SUV that focuses wholeheartedly on driving pleasure and on really feeling like an Alfa Romeo.

Alpine A290/Renault 5
One of the electric car year’s long-awaited novelties is the Renault 5 and its more fun-to-drive sibling the Alpine A290. Both cars have certainly lived up to expectations and offered some of the most memorable driving experiences.

BMW i5 Touring
Another trend in the electric car year of 2024 was hatchbacks. Among these is the very impressive BMW i5 Touring, a car that combines practicality, driving pleasure and a decidedly sensible overall package.

Citroën ë-C3
One of the market’s cheapest electric cars is spelled Citroën ë-C3 and combines a cheap price tag with solid build quality and a high level of comfort. Despite its size, the ë-C3 is perceived as decidedly mature.

Kia EV3
With its sights set on the Volvo EX30, the EV3 comes with an overall package that appears significantly more attractive. Good range, good packaging and a sensible price tag are all attractive features.

Mercedes-Benz eSprinter
Our first test drive this year began behind the wheel of the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter. In addition to being an incredibly convincing transporter, it also manages to be one of the best Mercedes cars we’ve driven in a long time.

Porsche Macan
The new Porsche Macan is an all-electric story that may not be a revolution, but one of the most well-made electric SUVs on the market. Solid build quality, elegant design and practical features make it attractive.

Rolls-Royce Spectre
An electric Rolls-Royce is among the most rational things you can imagine. The reason is simple – the electric motors bring the silence and performance of the brand’s previous V12 engines. In combination with copious amounts of sound insulation and a price tag of north of six million kroner, the Rolls-Royce Specter is one of the most comfortable and luxurious cars in history.

Skoda Elroq
Makes sense, makes more sense, makes the most sense. This is roughly how you can summarize Škoda’s cars, something that also pervades their latest electric car – the Elroq. Although it is not the most fun-loving car in the segment, it offers a very attractive overall package.

Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer
Another station wagon on the list is spelled Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer and is based on the German brand’s most convincing electric car to date – the ID.7. Although Volkswagen had problems with their early electric cars, they have managed to spare the ID.7 from a lot of childhood ailments. Otherwise, the ID.7 Tourer is extremely practical, quiet, comfortable and pleasant to drive.
