- Porsche Taycan: Charges faster than almost anything and goes less far per charge than most. Depreciation has been savage.
- BMW 7 Series: Depreciates like nothing else here, which is exactly why the used ones are tempting and risky.
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class: The most comfortable car here by some margin, and the most ruinous to run out of warranty.
- Lexus IS: Built to last and pleasant to drive, with an ancient infotainment system and no boot.
