Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · Hatchback 81,4 kWh (EU-spec 2025+, E-GMP 400V)

Kia EV4

Compact electric hatchback from Kia on the E-GMP platform in 400V architecture (no 800V fast charging like the EV6 or EV9). World premiere on 17 February 2025; the European hatchback has been built in Žilina, Slovakia, since August 2025, the first Kia EV built in Europe. The tested 81.4 kWh version reaches around 625 km WLTP with 78 kWh usable and 150 kW (204 hp). DC charging peaks around 135 kW, boot 435 litres (1,415 l with seats folded). 1,000 kg braked towing capacity. Indicative from-price for the Netherlands; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · Highland (2024)

Tesla Model 3

The Highland update (2024) brought a quieter cabin, longer-travel suspension and a revised interior. Strong on charging speed and software updates. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
