There’s choice a plenty when it comes to electric family cars… so we got the lot together for the mother of all knockout finals. Recently we used Tesla’s newly arrived Model Y as the rallying flag, and gathered to it everything that could potentially be seen as a rival. They span a price range of £35–65 grand, or about £400 a month to £1,000 and include – deep breath – the Kia EV6, Jaguar I-Pace, Audi Q4 e-tron, BMW iX3, Polestar 2, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Skoda Enyaq IV, Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and VW ID.4.

So which EV should you buy? Let Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Marriage help you whittle them down.
