As more drivers make the switch from fossil fuel to electric, it’s family cars that are proving the most popular. 

With their more generous proportions, these do-it-all machines can accommodate a larger battery for a better range without impacting practicality. Which means you can avoid feeling stressed about journey distances and remaining charge levels each time you climb aboard.

Moreover, as the cost of EV technology continues to fall, it’s these family-friendly cars that benefit the most, because their higher production volumes allow manufacturers to really sharpen their pencils when it comes to pricing.

Perhaps even more importantly, for people like us at least, manufacturers are starting to inject some genuine driver appeal into these cars beyond the exciting but short-lived thrill of their instant, and often savage, acceleration.

So here’s our list of the best full-size family EVs you can currently buy. Our top pick is the BMW iX, which impresses with a winning combination of comfort, technology and good all-around driving dynamics.
