- BMW 7 Series: Depreciates like nothing else here, which is exactly why the used ones are tempting and risky.
- Porsche Taycan: Charges faster than almost anything and goes less far per charge than most. Depreciation has been savage.
- BMW M3: A four-door that will embarrass sports cars, and it eats tyres and brakes at that rate.
- Dodge Charger: A big, loud, thirsty saloon with a huge back seat. Insurers have noticed.
