With the Government’s newly announced tax break for electric cars, more Kiwis than ever are likely to make the switch away from petrol, but which vehicle will get you where you need to be the fastest?

Comedian Ben Hurley headed to the race track to test two middle-of-the-road cars with some help from a racing pro.

The pair both did a lap of Hampton Downs race track in a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle and a petrol-powered Mazda Demio.

The final results in the video above may surprise you.
