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 · 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.

Profile · Single Motor Extended Range (2024)

Volvo EX30

Compact electric SUV on the SEA platform (shared with Smart #1). WLTP 476 km with the 64 kWh pack (Extended Range, NMC). Strong point is the acceleration; point of attention is the modest boot (318 l) for the class. Owners report in practice 15-25% less range in cold weather (public forums, not measured by us).
