EV Reviews

Here at Drive Green, we have made it our goal to try to have a review for every EV available, we think that doing this gives you more help deciding which EV is right for you. We are not there just yet but we are adding reviews as fast as we can.

Unlike typical motoring journalists, at Drive Green, we don’t just have an EV for a few days, after which we are expected to pass judgment and present an informed review to consumers.  We live with these cars all the time and understand them in much greater detail from our years with them. We also uniquely understand them from the point of view of our thousands of customers.

It really has been the milestone for its competitors for which there are increasingly more of, so it was only a matter of time before we were graced with a newer one. The New 2021 Jaguar I-Pace is actually much like the old, in that it's brilliant. When you have such a solid base it can often be difficult to improve on, but Jaguar have done just that.

A Fun and Characterful EV

The Kia Soul EV was initially launched in 2014 and it offered something a little different to other EVs at the time. An interesting new look and an all-around more fun package. With features not offered by its competitors, it really did win the hearts of a different kind of EV buyer and it has been performing very well ever since.

Most Valuable Premium EV?

With the popularity of the Tesla Model 3 going from strength to strength, it has us wondering if the Tesla Model S is still relevant? The Tesla Model S arguably kickstarted the EV space along with the Nissan Leaf, only it offered staggering performance and range which neither were a real feature of the early Leafs! The Tesla Model S quickly became the drag racing king with incredible acceleration and straight-line performance, but also with the Tesla supercharger network, it took its crown as the long-distance EV. The Tesla Model S range was unrivalled for so long.
