The Hyundai Ioniq 5 charges faster than anything else we rent and has the most interesting interior. Its 800-volt architecture takes it from 10 to 80 per cent in about 18 minutes, the wheelbase is longer than a large SUV's so rear legroom is enormous, and the centre console slides back and forth so front passengers can move between seats. The front seats recline almost flat for waiting while charging.

Any minor damage is deducted from the deposit and the balance returned. We photograph every panel, the interior, the fuel or charge level and the odometer at handover, and you get those timestamped photos with your digital contract - so there is a record to compare against rather than an argument.
Families who want space and speed of charging, and anyone combining island driving with mainland trips. The rear legroom is the best of any five-seat car in the fleet.
The flat floor and long wheelbase make this the most spacious-feeling car in the fleet for its footprint, which is genuinely useful with children and beach gear. Vehicle-to-load will run a cool box or a laptop at a beach with no power. And the 18-minute charging matters on the mainland: ferry to Don Sak, one short stop, and you are at Khao Sok. On the island itself you will mostly charge overnight and forget about it.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and its Kia EV6 sibling, both using an 800-volt system that takes them from 10 to 80 per cent in about 18 minutes on a suitable DC charger.
Its wheelbase is three metres - longer than most large SUVs - because the electric platform puts no engine or transmission in the way. The floor is completely flat, so the middle rear seat is genuinely usable too.
The vehicle-to-load system provides mains power from the car's battery, enough for a cool box, laptops, camera gear or a small appliance. Useful at Samui beaches and viewpoints with no power supply.
