EVSpec — Your Guide to Electric Vehicles

Spec sheets only tell half the story. Not all EVs are born equal. Good value? Clever with energy and materials? Or just heavy, greedy and cramped?
The EVSpec Scores give you a fresh perspective.

Segment C Electric Vehicles — Specifications & Scores

A score of 100 means this vehicle is the best on that criteria. Use the arrows in each column header to sort up and down. Learn more about the EVSpec Scores

Understanding the Scores

Each vehicle is rated with the following scores. For every score, a higher value is better.

Energy Score

How much range the car delivers for each kWh of usable battery — in other words how good is the car at using the energy poured in the battery. A measure of raw electrical efficiency.

Formula: range (WLTP) ÷ net battery capacity

Mass Score

How much range the car delivers for each kilogram of material used to build the car (the curb weight) — lighter, longer-range cars score higher, a sign of good engineering design.

Formula: range (WLTP) ÷ weight

Range Value Score

How much range you get for your money — the range delivered per unit of base price.

Formula: range (WLTP) ÷ price

15-min charge gain

How many kilometres of real-world range the car regains after a 15-minute DC fast charge from 10% battery, then cruising at 100 km/h. A much more useful indicator than the manufacturer 10-80% charging time. Charging fast is of no use if the vehicle is a hog.

Storage Min Score

How much cargo you can carry with all seats up, how far you can drive it, and how efficiently — rewards cars with generous minimum boot/trunk space (seats up) and long range, while favouring lighter cars — higher is better.

Formula: minimum storage × range (WLTP) ÷ weight

Storage Max Score

How much cargo you can carry seats down, how far you can drive it, and how efficiently — rewards cars with generous maximum boot/trunk space (seats folded) and long range, while favouring lighter cars — higher is better.

Formula: maximum storage × range (WLTP) ÷ weight

Overall Score

The average of the scores above.

Carbon footprint impact The leaf icon marks the scores that have a direct impact on the car's carbon footprint — the Energy Score (electrical efficiency) and the Mass Score (how much material goes into building the car). Better values on these scores mean a lower environmental footprint.

On the radar chart, each axis is normalized to 0-100 relative to the highest value of that score across the entire vehicle database, so the shapes are comparable both between the selected cars and against the whole fleet. The overall Score shown under each car is that car's Overall Score (see above) — the simple average of its normalized axes.

Car Segments Explained

Vehicles are grouped into European market segments, mostly based on their length and body style. Here is what each segment means.

A — City Car / Mini

Compact urban vehicles; usually under typically 2.7m to 3.7m.

B — Supermini / Small

Everyday commuters; typically 3.7m to 4.2m.

C — Compact / Small Family

"Golf-class"; balances city/highway use; 4.2m to 4.5m.

D — Large Family / Mid-size

Spacious, comfortable; typically 4.5m to 4.8m.

E — Executive

Premium/upper-medium cars; 4.8m to 5.0m.

F — Luxury

High-end luxury saloons; typically over 5.0m.

Specialized Segments

Beyond the primary A–F passenger car categories, several other letters are used to designate vehicles with specific body styles or purposes.

J — SUVs & Crossovers

One of the fastest-growing categories, encompassing vehicles with higher ground clearance and a focus on utility or off-road capability.

M — MPVs / Minivans

Multi-purpose vehicles designed for maximum seating capacity and interior flexibility.

S — Sports Cars

Vehicles that prioritize performance and handling, often categorized separately from traditional family car segments.
