TESLA MODEL 3

19,071

The best-selling electric vehicle of 2021 has been dethroned by its big brother, with the Tesla Model 3 having to settle for second place on this list. Of course, with over 25,000 people buying the Model 3 in 2021, this number was always likely to fall down slightly this year, particularly with the release of the newer Model Y.

Whilst the majority of the cars on this list will be priced in the millions, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is moderately priced in comparison, with prices starting from £142,000. It’s still a hefty sum of money, but for that, you will get a beautifully designed car that tops out at 162mph and offering 751 horsepower with launch control and 1,050NM torque. Despite these ridiculous numbers, the Taycan also offers a degree of practicality, with a range of up to 291 miles.

Despite being one of the most popular electric vehicles for a number of years, the Tesla Model 3 still offers an impressive amount of performance, with a 0-60mph time of just three seconds, and Long Range models boasting 374 miles off a single charge. Even with a growing list of models to compete with, I suspect the Tesla Model 3 will still be on this list next year.
