Deepal G318 would be the better choice of all of them. Would recommend to get the air suspension if you prefer comfort... Deepal is REEV and the others are not. So you get pure EV kind drive always. It will be better driving experience than the others. IMO it will be easy to maintain and have less issues compared to others as it lacks some components (for good) when compared to others like transmission, gearbox etc.
Would highly recommend the Deepal G318. I own one and has been amazing so far with really good efficiency.
If you have a place to charge at home, Deepal 100%. Tank is great, but thirsty.
I booked the car same day, got it delivered the next week and absolutely enjoy the car. I have owned it for a month now and have driven 2,700 kms. So far, pretty good ... Comfort : very very comfortable. ... Power : in sports mode, the car just wants to fly! ... Sound : At full volume, I can still hear the small notes!! Its crazy! ... Quiet Cabin
Got my G318 on the old pricing, the High spec with air suspension 😀

AI summary — not a quote
The Toyota Prius is widely regarded as the gold standard for reliability and fuel efficiency, frequently recommended for high-mileage commuters and those seeking the lowest possible ownership costs. While it is praised for its longevity—with many users citing examples reaching 300,000 to 400,000 miles—the driving experience is frequently described as unexciting or boring.
Pros
- Exceptional long-term reliability with many reports of 300k+ miles on original batteries.
- Extremely low operating and fuel costs.
- Excellent battery thermal management, particularly in PHEV models.
- Proven durability in high-stress environments like taxi and ride-share duty.
Cons
- Unengaging and 'boring' driving experience.
- Low rolling resistance tires can lead to reduced traction and slightly longer braking distances.
- Limited interior headroom and fit for very tall drivers (e.g., 200cm) in newer generations.
- Rear visibility is considered only average by modern standards.

I’d trust a Prius to go that long too
Having driven a few different Priuses, I'd say the visibility is OK by modern standards. One issue is that because they are set up for economy, they usually run tires that have low rolling resistance, but not the greatest traction. Which means it can skid a little earlier than many other cars might. Braking distances seemed a little bit longer than other cars, but not dangerously so.
For example the Prius and RAV4 PHEVs have excellent battery thermal management, have buffers at both ends so you are effectively charging them in the 20-80% range, and the fact that they are only being charged with L1 or L2 charging means they never undergo the stress that DCFC causes.
I’ve seen plenty prius’s go past 300k on the original battery.
I eventually traded it in for a Prius but it was a good little car.
