How we rank the offers
The order of the offers on EVL is set by the EVL-Score — a number from 0 to 100 that you control. You choose which parameters matter most to you, and the order you put them in decides how heavily each one weighs. This page shows which parameters are used, what they cover, and what the ranking does not tell you.
How your priorities are weighted
You rank the parameters yourself in the preferences panel. It is a weighting, not a filter: every offer is still there, it is just in a different order.
Your first priority weighs about twice as much as your second, and the weight tapers off down the list. The lowest priorities fine-tune the order, but they rarely decide it.
Some parameters measure much the same thing. On lease offers: Monthly cost, Total cost / month, Total lease cost. On purchase offers: Cash price, Monthly financing payment, APR. If you put several of them high, the highest-placed one counts in full and the rest count for considerably less. Otherwise the same consideration — price — would be counted several times over.
If you have not chosen an order yourself, we use a preselected one. You can change it at any time, and the ranking updates immediately.
Every parameter used in the ranking
Lease offers and purchase offers are ranked by separate lists, because the information available about them is not the same. The names below are the same ones you see in the preferences panel.
Lease offers
| Parameter | What it covers | What counts as better |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo space | How much you can fit in the trunk | Higher is better |
| Range | How far the car can drive on a charge | Higher is better |
| Efficiency | Energy consumption in Wh per km | Lower is better |
| Fast charge | Time to fast charge - from 10% to 80% | Lower is better |
| Monthly costCounted together with the other price parameters | Recurring, monthly lease cost | Lower is better |
| Total cost / monthCounted together with the other price parameters | True monthly cost incl. down payment and EV tax | Lower is better |
| Total lease costCounted together with the other price parameters | Total cost over the full lease period | Lower is better |
| Max speed | How fast the vehicle can drive at max speed | Higher is better |
| Horsepower | How powerful the engine is | Higher is better |
| Safety (Euro NCAP) | The car's Euro NCAP star rating. Cars without a valid rating get no safety score. | More stars is better |
Purchase offers
| Parameter | What it covers | What counts as better |
|---|---|---|
| Cash priceCounted together with the other price parameters | The car's cash price at the dealer | Lower is better |
| Monthly financing paymentCounted together with the other price parameters | Monthly payment if you finance the car through the dealer's offer | Lower is better |
| APRCounted together with the other price parameters | Annual percentage rate on the dealer's financing offer | Lower is better |
| Range | How far the car can drive on a charge | Higher is better |
| Cargo space | How much you can fit in the trunk | Higher is better |
| Efficiency | Energy consumption in Wh per km | Lower is better |
| Fast charge | Time to fast charge - from 10% to 80% | Lower is better |
| Max speed | How fast the vehicle can drive at max speed | Higher is better |
| Horsepower | How powerful the engine is | Higher is better |
| Safety (Euro NCAP) | The car's Euro NCAP star rating. Cars without a valid rating get no safety score. | More stars is better |
What the ranking does not cover
The ranking covers only the offers that are on EVL. It says something about the order of those offers — not about how they compare with the whole market. There are offers we do not have.
If we are missing a figure for a car, we do not skip the parameter: the car scores zero on that parameter. If you have put it high, that pushes the car down the order — even when the car in fact does well on it. Worth keeping in mind if a car sits lower than you expected.
Cars without a valid Euro NCAP rating cannot be ranked on safety and are therefore placed last when you prioritise safety. This does not mean they scored badly in a test.
