2.BMW IX3
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
BMWS is converting its compact SUV X3 on a battery drive, leaves the all-wheel drive omitted and promptly ends up in the Efahrer SUV comparison in second place behind Elektro-Boss Tesla.The good efficiency and strong charging services of the IX3 show that BMWS engineers apparently have not forgotten everything they learned from i3 and i8.There is space as in the combustion engine and the driving performance is typical BMW - dynamic and rear -emphasized.

There are top marks for driving assistants.The assistance systems work smoothly and intuitively.If you drive in eco -mode "Eco Pro", the IX3 in combination with the navigation itself decides when it sails and when it recuperates - brilliant.
The processing of the IX3 is hardly noticeable.She does not reflect in the price either.The IX3 is not only significantly more expensive than combustion X3, but can be quickly screwed into dizzying price regions thanks to an impressive base price and expensive extras.Cheap e-car car cars from 10,000 euros: We will show you the most interesting models cheap e-cars E-cars from 10,000 euros: We will show you the most interesting models
3. Hyundai ioniq 5
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
In the electrical golf class, Hyundais was able to prevail super-efficient UR-ioniq in terms of consumption even against Teslas Model 3.The highly expected SUV successor Ioniq 5 only ties up to this success to a limited extent.Although it is still much more efficient than many competitors, the electricity-saving crown must return to Tesla.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 In the test: Koreas Tesla-Killer reveals a huge weakness
For this, the IONIQ 5 shines with many comfort features, high-quality workmanship, a variable interior and best-to-class charging capacity.The strong and clearly tailpatable all -wheel drive makes the Ioniq 5 a real driving fun machine.Only the spongy, somewhat insensitive steering does not fit.Despite its fair price, Korea's Tesla hunters are only enough for a narrow one and a good third place.

4. Skoda Enyaq
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
Skodas erstes Elektro-SUV Enyaq verfehlt im EFAHRER-SUV-Rating knapp das Siegertreppchen und die Note Eins. In den wichtigen Elektro-Disziplinen Laden, Effizienz und Reichweite sind Tesla & Co einfach stärker. IONIQ, iX3 und Model Y sind außerdem wesentlich performanter.

For this, the Enyaq shines with a good space for the occupants, processing at the premium level, a huge trunk and many clever extras such as umbrellas in the doors.The assistance system is also very good.
The basic price of the ENYAQ is cheap, but meaningful extras such as winter equipment and heat pump are expensive and often only in connection with even more expensive model lines or packages.
5. VW ID.4 Pro
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
The VW ID.4 is technically closely related to the Skoda Enyaq.Nevertheless, the German ends up just behind the Czech in the comparison test.The most important reason: In practice, the Skoda was more economical than the VW.The beautiful Id. 4 must also be beaten by the chesty Czechs when it comes to space.
Volkswagen ID.4 In the test: Does VWS first create 500 kilometers?
In terms of performance, Enyaq and Id.4 remain equally behind Tesla.For this, the VW ID.4 shines with high comfort, penile processing, the most modern driving assistants and futuristic styling.Despite its good test grade, the ID.4 ends up in the midfield of the competitors.
6. Audi Q4 e-tron
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
Audis Q4 e-tron is also technically closely related to the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4.With the VW and the Skoda, he also shares its strengths and weaknesses.The shop is making a comparatively leisurely progress with 125 kW.The Audi is also much tamer on the way the fast Tesla Model Y.
299 hp, 500 km range, all-wheel drive: This is how the Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback drives
Rang and consumption move at the level of its group brothers.But the Audi is a bit more luxurious and is already available with all -wheel drive.However, the sleek coupé look of the tested sportsback variant costs important points in the square.
7. Mercedes EQA 250
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
The EQA is a real Mercedes.It is well made and very quiet, the comfort is very good for the vehicle class.As an electric car, however, he cannot convince: the highway consumption in particular is simply too high, the resulting range is disappointing.And the space available also requires the owner compromises.
Mercedes EQA 250 in the test: How well does the cheapest electric star do?
With a base price of around 44,000 euros, the car would be a decent but very expensive second car.Mercedes-typical is the surcharge list long, our test car was around 60,000 euros.Cars on pure electric platforms such as the VW ID.3 or ID.4, the Ioniq 5 or the Tesla Model Y offer more, and are not even more expensive if the equipment is comparable.For the EQA, it is only enough for 7th place in the SUV ranking in its class.
8. Volvo XC 40 calcaries
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
The XC40 is a likeable car, under the compact SUVs it represents an interesting alternative. However, the size and range of the Volvos do not match the price.The efficiency of the electro-volvo is simply too scarce.Despite the 78 kWh battery, the XC40 calchars only achieves a mathematical range of 250 kilometers.

In addition to the chic Scandinavia design, the XC40 also shines with a special infotainment system: Android Automotive.The most important app is Google Maps, which with its ingenious integration of real-time traffic data on car data such as the current consumption and the battery level of the XC40 and thus offers excellent charging planning.
9. Aiways U5
- Vorteile
- Nachteile
The Aiways U5 would be an incredibly strong price-performance package.It makes a lot of space from the outside, has a lot of space, looks high quality, offers a considerable range and could easily play in a class where VW and others have spread, but its absolutely half-baked software spoil the use of the China SUV.

At this price you are certainly ready to compromise like a missing navigation system.In the mass, however, it is too much that the U5 cannot or do wrong.
How we test
Efahrer.com tests hydrogen cars, plug-in hybrids and electric cars themselves. The test procedures are based on what is really interested in the driver: How far does an electric car drive?How long does the charging take?How well does the car drive?What equipment is up to date today?Does the industry really solve its advertising promises?
In each vehicle class there are various electric car models, various versions, performance levels, sizes and usage scenarios.Since the overview is not so easy.In order not to have to shear all cars over a comb, Efahrer.com divides electric cars into different categories: cheap small cars such as the VW E-up!, Small cars such as the Renault Zoe, compact electricity such as the Tesla Model 3, compact SUV like thatTesla Model Y, larger electric SUV such as the Audi E-Tron, family cars such as the Nissan Evalia E-NV200 and expensive electrical sports cars such as the Porsche Taycan.
While cheap electric small cars like the VW e-up!There are particularly cheap everyday cars for the city and surrounding area, one wants to go for frequent long -distance trips with large batteries with lots of electricity for high ranges and with fast charging capabilities - which are then correspondingly more expensive.
The efahrer measurements are based where possible on recognized test methods or ISO standards-and are as accurate as you have to be in order to make a really practical statement.For example, the Efahrer testers not only read the consumption of electric cars and hybrids on the on-board display, but also measure real consumption on the calibrated 22 kW wall box or the petrol pump.
For new car categories, engineers and experts in weeks of work design tailor-made tests and coordinate the evaluation criteria closely with the Efahrer editors-after all, the test results are the basis for all editorial reporting in the area of test and purchase advice.E -drivers also constantly develops established test procedures and thus ensure that the results always meet the current requirements of the users.
Efahrer.com evaluates the five most important aspects of electric cars: range, consumption, loading, performance, assistance systems, space and comfort.In each of these partial ratings, the best e-car receives the grade 1.0-the others correspondingly worse notes.The various test results are then evaluated and weighted arithmetically and form the basis for the Efahrer.com test judgment in school grades and e-car ranking.These are the efahrer test criteria:
With the electric car, practical consumption and thus the range not only depend on technology, driving style and speed, but also from the outside temperature.The Efahrer range computer shows how far you can drive with an electric car under everyday conditions.
This test for the cheapest, available electric cars is based on data from the Efahrer electric car finder.The electric car is a constantly neat database that lists over a hundred common electric cars and filters according to meaningful categories:

Are electric cars cheaper?
Electric cars can already be cheaper than comparable cars with combustion engine.This is suggested by a new study by the Berlin Eco Denkfabrik "Forum ecological-social market economy" (FÖS).The price advantage would result from the much cheaper running costs of electric cars.Petrol and diesel are still cheaper in the purchase.The FÖS results coincide with the test results of efahrer.com
The price advantage of the Stromer also comes about through government funding in the form of the environmental bonus of 6000 euros.However, the decisive advantages of the electric vehicles lie in the much lower fixed, operating and workshop costs, according to the FöS study.
Information from the ADAC database was used as the basis for the study.This enabled six vehicle types to be compared, which are similar in size, equipment and performance.An annual mileage of 15,000 kilometers was used as the basis and a service life of five years.E-cars have turned out to be more cost-effective for each vehicle pairing.Even in the premium segment, in which electric vehicles do not receive an environmental bonus, the Stromer was cheaper.
With the absolute cost advantage over five years, the Tesla Model 3 long -distance route with AWD is cheaper than the comparable combustion vehicle.Even the electrical upper class elimouse Tesla Model S is still 5,760 euros and the e-Golf 6,360 euros cheaper than the comparable combustion engines.
The conclusion of the FÖS study: “The analysis shows that electric cars among the current funding conditions can already keep up with comparable combustion engines for all vehicle classes and are often cheaper if the total costs for acquisition, operation and maintenance are taken into account.
The Efahrer.com cost calculator shows when an electric car pays off financially compared to a comparable combustion engine.Values such as annual mileage, electricity and gasoline costs can be individually adjusted. "With the right car, electromobility means low operating costs, great drive comfort and real driving pleasure," says Reitberger.
What are the best electric cars?
In each vehicle class there are various electric car models, various versions, performance levels, sizes and usage scenarios.Citing a winner of all classes is almost impossible.
While cheap electric small cars like the VW e-up!There are particularly cheap everyday cars for the city and surrounding area, one wants to go for frequent long -distance trips with large batteries with lots of electricity for high ranges and with fast charging capabilities - which are then correspondingly more expensive.
In order not to have to shear all cars over a comb, efahrer.com divides electric cars into different categories and determines the best car there.Cheap small cars such as the VW e-up!, Small cars such as the Renault Zoe, compact electricity such as the Tesla Model 3, compact SUV such as the Tesla Model Y, larger electro SUV such as the Audi E-Tron, family cars such as the Nissan Evalia E-NV200And expensive electrical sports cars like the Porsche Taycan.
