New issue out now: Top Gear's Electric Awards 2025

The latest issue of Top Gear magazine is out right now, and it’s time for our annual Electric Awards. Yep, we’ve sifted through a whole heap of the latest EVs to confirm which ones are actually worth your attention… and quite possibly your hard-earned cash.

Of course, you’ll need to be fairly well-heeled to buy our best EV hypercar – the £2m plus tax Lotus Evija. Still, with 2,011bhp on tap it can claim to be the most powerful production car in history, so there’s your conversation starter. To fully put the Evija to the test, we sent Jethro Bovingdon to Anglesey to see how it’d stack up on track, before Jason Barlow recreated an old Lotus test driver jaunt from the factory down to the south of France. This is consumer testing at its finest.

Elsewhere in the issue we also crossed the Australian Outback in a dinky Kia EV3, headed for the Arctic Circle to herd some reindeer (all in the name of testing some special edition Polestars) and put the Lotus Emeya 900 up against the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT at Dunsfold. Because there’s no place like home.
