Best in Class Award 2025:
the finalists of all twelve categories
The Best in Class Award was launched by electricar in cooperation with the Institute for New Mobility (INM). Ten models were nominated based on hard facts in each of seven categories (small cars to luxury cars, as well as SUVs and light vehicles). Companies were also able to submit their own entries in five additional categories (design, city car, family car, fleet vehicle, and pioneer of the mobility transition).
From the nominees, the jury finally selected five finalists per category, from which the winner of each class was then chosen.
And from the winners of each individual category (with the exception of the "Pioneer of the Mobility Transition" category), the "Best E-Car 2025" will be determined.
Here we provide links to the finalists in the twelve categories. Typically, there are five finalists per category, but for the Pioneers of the Mobility Transition category, we agreed to allow ten finalists.
