These are strange times, perhaps the strangest of times. Life as we know it has come to an almost complete standstill. The world as we know it now feels much like an apocalyptic event so never has there been a better time to simply sit and reflect on life's mysteries and ponder some of the deepest unanswered questions. Such as, which is the best EV to own to survive a zombie apocalypse?
Picture this, a deadly virus has swept across the earth. Oh, hang on, that's much of a new story! But let's take it up a notch, the deadly virus turns all its victims into zombies and they are taking over the earth. You need to travel to the "safe zone" which is a mega journey to make, so which EV will you do it in?
Of course, we are living in a world which is heading totally electric and as with all post-nuclear zombie films, the petrol stations are all on fire, blowing black smoke into the atmosphere. Luckily for you, all EV's run from renewable technology which is readily available to help you survive and keep your vehicles charged. Eco smart chargers such as the zappi, will be sure that you never run out of charge.
Meet The Contenders
We have narrowed our selection down to eight vehicles to represent a varied mix in both size, USP, manufacturer and price point. Though, we certainly welcome your views and opinions as to which electric vehicles you feel would be best equipped to survive a zombie apocalypse.
The seven main areas we'll be grading are;
vehicle range, to escape infested cities and travel further
vehicle speed and acceleration, to be able to escape danger quickly
habitability scored out of 10, in case you need to set up camp and hide in the vehicle for long extended periods
stealthiness scored out of 10, based on your ability to escape and drive off the beaten track, staying hidden and out of sight.
We'll also factor in the vehicles defence capabilities, in terms of shell, armour and protective features as well as, vehicle modes and special features which might help to keep you alive both physically and mentally during a particularly challenging period in history, scored out of 10. Finally the vehicle's special unique power.

Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 7/10
Contender Number 2 - Harley Davidson Livewire, Electric Bike
The Harley Davidson Livewire has a reasonable range and is the choice of vehicle for
LiveWire comes with four pre-programmed modes: sport, road, range, and rain, along with three ride modes the rider can customise; 'and let's face it', it's always raining in zombie movies, so what better than a rain mode to improve your handling! Reflex Defensive Rider Systems; that title alone has certainly convinced us that this electric motorbike certainly packs a punch in the fight against zombies. However, as far as a protective shell; any bike would leave little in the way of defence against a zombie attack, so make sure you have a good helmet. However, the idea of riding a
Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 4/10
Contender Number 3 - Honda E
Why is the Honda E in the mix I hear you ask? For no other reason than this vehicle looks super cool! Admittedly this is a subjective opinion, it's as though this car entered a portal sometime in the mid-'80s and has been circling in an evolutionary abyss ever since, only to reappear amid a global pandemic, in the year 2020. The Honda E has almost been designed with one eye on the movie screens and almost defines the nature of the phrase, 'back to the future'. If you do find a moment to relax, the Honda E has its own built-in digital aquarium! Okay, it's pretty middle of the road in terms of whether you'd survive a zombie apocalypse owning this vehicle but national treasure
Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 5/10
Contender Number 4 - Smart EQ Fortwo
You would certainly never see Hobbs & Shaw in a manic speed chase, smashing up a couple of souped-up Smart EQ Fortwo's, though stranger things have happened. Equally, trying to visualise a swarm of zombies chasing this vehicle through the streets of
Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 3/10
Contender Number 5 -
The MINI stands in good stead and has good genes in terms of a car that has seen its fair share of high-speed action. MINI is an automotive legend, a British born and built icon and will forever be associated with the classic scenes in The Italian Job and
Frankly, there isn't a great deal of cool stuff in the MINI to keep you blissfully unaware of the danger and doom surrounding you at every corner. Though, if needs must; like escaping a 5-star police scene of chaos and carnage on GTA 5, we would still drive the nippy little number whilst imagining the voice of
Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 5/10
Contender Number 6 - Rivian R1T Pickup Truck
Now we are getting serious, and who doesn't love a pickup truck!
Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 9/10
Contender Number 7 - Aspark Owl
The second Japanese contender in our list is the Aspark Owl, which is not only the fastest contender in our list but currently the fastest full-electric hypercar in the world, at 0 - 60 in less than 1.7 seconds! The range isn't too shabby either at 280 miles. It's also the closest car in the list to resemble batman's batmobile! However, we are starting to think the zombies would be the least of the danger, with the temptation to let loose and go crazy in this car through the abandoned city streets. There is currently very little information about the full capabilities of this vehicle, and other than pure speed, we are struggling to find how this vehicle might help you survive in the event of a zombie apocalypse. However, faced with that situation we wouldn't blame anybody for choosing this vehicle for the pure fun factor!

Contender Number 8 - The
It's as though Elon had designed this car, purely for a zombie apocalypse. The tri-motor all-wheel-drive
This vehicle is surely the ultimate zombie destroying, apocalyptic surviving, monster machine!
