THESE five stylish EVs are the perfect way to rid yourself of your electric vehicle preconceptions.

It's easy to turn your nose up at the new-age motors but some of them are just too good to ignore.

EVs have had their fare share of criticism when it comes to range, charging times, and longevity, while there have also been concerns over their priorities when it comes to style.

These five models, however, prove that is certainly no longer the case.

An ever-present in British luxury automobiles since its inception in 2003, Rolls-Royce is perhaps one of the last cars you'd expect to go electric.

But that all changed with the Rolls-Royce Spectre, a motor that delivers everything the most discerning owner could want, according to Slash Gear.

Boasting the same exquisite attention to detail and laundry list of bespoke options as other models in the brand's lineup, the Spectre also manages to look good in a wide variety of colours.

Pininfarina B95

One of the more recent EV models, the Pininfarina B95 possesses a remarkable 1,900 horsepower power output and has an eye-watering starting price of around £3.7million.

A follow-up to the Italian design house's Battista hypercar, with which it shares many of the same underpinnings, just ten models of the B95 were made - and no two are the same.

A car like no other, it also has no roof, windows, or windshield.

Audi RS E-Tron GT

Whether it's gas-powered cars of EVs, Audi rarely misses and a great example of that is the German giants E-Tron GT.

The priciest and most powerful variant of the E-Tron GT range, it comes with more than 600 horsepower on offer and can achieve 0-60 mph time in around three seconds.

Perhaps the GT's biggest advantage is how it manages to look distinctly new while still gelling comfortably with the rest of Audi's current electric and gas-powered lineup.

Maserati GranTurismo Folgore

The original Maserati GranTurismo is one of the most iconic cars of the 21st century and barely changed for the first two decades of its life - until an all-electric form was made.

The GranTurismo Folgore has an acceleration that far exceeds what even the most potent gas-powered GranTurismo could offer without sacrificing it's long-distance cruising comfort.

Those behind the wheel of a Folgore can expect to travel as far as up to 280 miles on just one full battery charge.

Officially the most expensive Lotus ever built, the Evija model is one of the most striking EVs you could ever lay your eyes upon.

Its cut-out bodywork might be one of the most striking things about the vehicle but what's beneath the exterior is also something to behold.

Its roughly 2,000 hp output was unprecedented for an EV when it was first shown to the public and, while some have come close to matching its horsepower, none have definitively exceeded it since.
