If you have opportunity to try some EVs from BYD and Xiaomi, you will find a lot more BEST EVs.

I drove an MG4 and a BYD Seal before finally choosing a Kia EV3. The Chinese cars appear to be very good value for money (or at the very least have attractively low cost of entry - I don’t have the data for total cost of ownership) but the Kias and Hyundais were nicer cars. The MG in particular is one of the cheapest full BEVs in my market but that low price was very apparent in the product.
