October is a busy month for the electric vehicle market, with the Paris Motor Show taking place from October 12 to 18, 2026, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The team Survoltés has tested many models in recent weeks and selected the three that impressed the most last month: a small SUV, a city car, and a sporty city car.
The Skoda Epiq is a compact SUV with a relatively conservative design. Its construction is reassuring, and the Epiq can suit a wide range of profiles. The SUV's interior is generous for all passengers, with a trunk capacity of 475 liters. The 55 kWh version of the Epiq features a 55 kWh battery (51.7 kWh usable) and a permanent magnet synchronous motor of 155 kW (211 horsepower). The model's road behavior is neutral with a very reassuring handling. This version has a WLTP range of 441 km. The average mixed consumption is 13.7 to 14.1 kWh per 100 km. The battery charges from 10 to 80% in 24 minutes. The Skoda Epiq starts at 26,470 euros with its 35 kWh battery.
The Volkswagen ID. Polo is a more faithful proposition to what the German manufacturer did with its thermal models. Volkswagen regulars will immediately recognize their usual layout. Inside, the design is decidedly modern, and the materials are of good quality. The trunk has a capacity of 441 liters, which is 90 liters more than the petrol version of the Polo. The minimal package of the car includes a 37 kWh LFP battery, offering a range of 331 km with a consumption of 13.7 kWh per 100 km. The battery charges from 10 to 80% in 23 minutes. The car starts at 24,995 euros, excluding the CEE grant.
The Peugeot e-208 GTi is an electric city car that draws on the heritage of thermal GTi models, starting with the 205 GTi. This is immediately evident in its design, which has greatly impressed the team, with a touch of aggressiveness. Inside, the sport seats confirm this rebellious spirit. The interior is elegant with plenty of space for each passenger. The motor produces 281 horsepower and 345 Nm of torque. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration takes 5.5 seconds. The handling is excellent, even on wet roads during the test. The lithium-ion battery is 54 kWh with a WLTP range of 352 km. The entry price is 42,900 euros.
