The electric car revolution is picking up speed. As car manufacturers pledge to kick their petrol habit entirely, they have launched dozens of electric models — and dozens more will be rolled out by the end of 2024. Bloomberg Green’s EV ratings dashboard catalogues the models currently available in the UK — the ones actually being made and delivered at the moment, not just marketed.
Along with prices, range estimates and other critical car specs, we also have come up with a Green rating for each model, based on how efficiently the cars travel once on the road and the resources needed to manufacture the batteries in those cars. It’s one criteria that’s missing from most auto listings and, we think, a critical one for those consumers (and companies) weighing a cleaner, greener choice.
The Green rating for each car is a weighted score of its ( range ÷ curb weight ) + battery size , on a scale from 0–100 (100 is the highest/best rating). See full methodology →
Longer-range electric cars tend to be more expensive, but more expensive EVs don’t always have a longer range — some are just fancier models. The longest-range EV in the UK is the Mercedes EQS at 452 miles and with a starting price around £105,610. Other long-range models include the Tesla Model S, the Polestar 2 and the BMW i7.
