WINNERS & FINALISTS
THE BEST E-CARS OF 2025
electricar , the magazine for the mobility of tomorrow, in cooperation with the Institute for New Mobility, already awarded the best e-models in all categories last year – BEST IN CLASS 2025 .
Ten models were nominated based on hard facts in 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 pioneers of the mobility transition).
A jury of renowned experts selected and evaluated all electric cars offered in Germany based on their specifications. Efficiency and sustainability were just as important in the evaluation process as driving performance, comfort, and quality. After the jury had selected five finalists per category, the winners of each class were chosen from the remaining candidates. The winners of each individual category – with the exception of the "Pioneer of the Mobility Transition" category – were also chosen.
Voted "Best E-Car 2025".
