In comparison, just two all-electric vehicles received awards at the 2020 event. This year saw numerous electric winners in a wide variety of categories. Starting off, the [Pininfarina Battista](https://insideevs.com/automobili-pininfarina/) was TG’s Hyper GT Of The Year. “Ballistically fast and ballistically luxurious” according to Top Gear the Battista excels at going very fast and (thanks to its 300-mile range) very far too. Moving on, the [BMW i4](https://insideevs.com/bmw/i4/) picked up Saloon Of The Year. Offering all the benefits of a traditionally powered 4-Series, the i4 adds extra pace and power. The [Renault Megane E-Tech](https://insideevs.com/features/546819/renault-megane-ev-first-reviews/) won Family Hatch Of The Year. Offering all the practicality of the traditional Megane this new half-crossover, half-hatch version adds electric power and all the latest technology. Meanwhile, the [Mercedes EQS](https://insideevs.com/mercedes-benz/eqs/) scooped up Luxury Car Of The Year. Quiet, tech-laden and comfortable – what more could you want? More desirable exterior looks perhaps, but then you wouldn’t get a 400+ mile range as the EQS’s remarkably low drag coefficient would be impacted. Family Car Of The Year was given to the [Ford Mustang Mach-E](https://insideevs.com/ford/mach-e/). Practical yet also fun, it adds a bit of excitement to the rather mundane crossover segment. Meanwhile, Concept Of The Year was given to the [Porsche Mission R](https://insideevs.com/news/537300/porsche-missionr-under-the-skin/). A glimmer of hope for motorsport enthusiasts, the Mission R also previews the next-gen 718 Cayman and Boxster EVs. Finally, Crossover Of The Year was given to the stylish and statistically brilliant [Kia EV6](https://insideevs.com/kia/ev6/). Top Gear noted they weren’t giving all these awards to EVs for the sake of it, but rather because electric cars are some of the best-executed vehicles currently on sale. Recognition like this is a promising sign as the industry as a whole transitions to BEVs, and it proves a wide variety of excellent electric cars are now here.  Tags: [Industry News](https://www.ok2charge.com/blog/tag/industry-news) [Back to Blog](https://www.ok2charge.com/blog) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## Ready to get started?
