The new BMW iX3 has changed the numbers that define an electric car — and I break down who pays the price.

I count down seven electric cars affected by its range, charging speed and price, from the old BMW iX3 and Tesla Model Y to the Audi Q6 e-tron, Polestar 3, Mercedes EQE SUV, Porsche Macan Electric and Volkswagen ID.4. I also look at real owner examples, used values and what this means for buyers in Britain.

I cover the iX3’s official figures, real motorway range, charging limits, reliability risks and the reasons you might still choose an older electric car. If you own one, lease one or are considering a new EV, this is what to check before you buy or sell.
