As is customary, a jury of motoring journalists from across Europe decided the outcome. However, at the last moment, contest organisers excluded all votes from the Russian delegates because of that country’s invasion of Ukraine. Incidentally, doing so changed neither the eventual winner nor the overall rankings.

The points scores and points shares for the seven finalists were:

1. Kia EV6 – 279 (18.9%)
2. Renault Mégane E-Tech – 265 (18.0%)
3. Hyundai Ioniq 5 – 261 (17.7%)
4. Peugeot 308 – 191 (12.9%)
5. Škoda Enyaq iV – 185 (12.5%)
6. Ford Mustang Mach-E – 150 (10.2%)
7. Cupra Born – 144 (9.8%)
