Best Electric cars

Mainstream electric cars are the entry point for many EV shoppers, providing a driving range of anywhere from about 100 miles to well over 200. Expect spirited acceleration, too.

1^st

Introduced in 2017

Chevrolet Bolt EV

Edmunds Rating: 8.0_/10

The Chevrolet Bolt boasts quick acceleration, a very approachable price and 278 miles of range when driven on Edmunds real-world EV range loop. Even with more competitors now, the Bolt is certainly worth checking out if you're in the market for an affordable EV. Read full review

Nissan LEAF

Edmunds Rating: 7.9_/10

3^rd

Redesigned in 2017

MINI Hardtop 2 Door

Edmunds Rating: 7.3_/10

The Mini Cooper SE is an electric version of the regular Hardtop 2 Door. This means less cargo room and rear seat space compared to other EVs, but also some classic Mini benefits such as quick acceleration and nimble handling. Range is more modest than most, however, traveling 150 miles in Edmunds' real-world range test. Read full review

Best All-wheel-drive electric cars

Mainstream brands typically reserve all-wheel drive for SUVs, but AWD electric cars are appealing because they promise better efficiency, range and acceleration than equivalent SUVs.

Hyundai IONIQ 6

Edmunds Rating: 8.2_/10

The Ioniq 6 looks like nothing else on the road and has plenty of range. It's fun to drive, too. Tight rear headroom is its main drawback. Read full review

Best Electric SUVs

The line between SUV and hatchback gets blurry in this segment, but you can count on versatile cargo space and an elevated driving position.

1^st

Redesigned in 2023

Kia Niro EV

Edmunds Rating: 8.2_/10

The Niro EV isn't the best in any one particular area, but it does a lot of things very well. It's comfortable, packed with in-car tech, and has impressive real-world range. It's not the cheapest EV out there, but Kia's long list of standard features and excellent warranty help offset that. Read full review

2^nd

Introduced in 2022

Chevrolet Bolt EUV

Edmunds Rating: 8.0_/10

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is the iPhone MAX version of the Bolt. In this slightly larger package you get slightly more space, comfort and amenities. The EUV trades a marginal amount of speed and nimbleness for its gains, and it also costs a bit more, but we think its worth it. Read full review

Introduced in 2021

Volkswagen ID.4

Edmunds Rating: 7.9_/10

The ID.4 was one of the first all-electric compact SUVs to hit the market, offering loads of standard features and a genuinely spacious cabin. It pushes the envelope with some neat technology and traveled 287 miles on a single charge in Edmunds' real-world range test. There's a lot to get excited about here. Read full review

Best All-wheel-drive electric SUVs

In the EV world, all-wheel drive typically means a lot more power, since it requires adding another motor. You get all-weather traction, too, but range will suffer relative to single-motor setups.

1^st

Introduced in 2024

Kia EV9 GT-Line

Edmunds Rating: 8.6_/10

The Kia EV9 delivers a luxuriously quiet drive and high-quality features that elevate every commute or jaunt alike. It's an appealing choice for families ready to transition into the electric realm, without compromising on much of anything. Read full review

Introduced in 2022

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD

Edmunds Rating: 8.3_/10

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 springs out of the gate with retro-themed styling and the latest in electric vehicle design. It's also comfortable, practical and generously equipped. While it can't quite match the range of the equivalent Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E models, there's still plenty to love about this all-new all-electric SUV. Read full review

Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range AWD

Edmunds Rating: 8.2_/10

Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum

Edmunds Rating: 8.4_/10

The F-150 Lightning is at once both futuristic and familiar. It has loads of modern technology features and yet it might be one of the most practical and job site-friendly trucks on sale today. But the Lighting's full-size truck credentials come into question when you want to tow due to modest limits and a severely restricted range. Read full review

Best Electric vans

SUVs tend to get all the press, but electric vans quietly get the job done. A van gives you the most practical shape for hauling people and cargo alike.

Not enough vehicles yet to rank

Introduced in 2022

Ford E-Transit Cargo Van

Edmunds Rating: 7.6_/10

The E-Transit is an interesting alternative to its gas-powered sibling. Its EPA-estimated range of 126 miles isn't stellar and that limits this van to use in cities. If you own a flower shop, a catering business, or make multiple trips on a usual workday in urban environments, the E-Transit makes a lot of sense. Read full review

Best Luxury electric cars

Luxury electric cars tend to cost a lot more than mainstream models, but you also get a lot more, typically including sports-car acceleration and the latest interior tech.

1^st

Introduced in 2024

BMW i5 eDrive40

Edmunds Rating: 8.4_/10

The BMW i5 is a great pick for an electric luxury sedan thanks to its classy design, comfortable and quiet cabin, and extensive collection of helpful technology features. In fact, we think the i5 is better than the regular 5 Series and one of the best EVs on the road today. Read full review

Best Luxury all-wheel-drive electric cars

Do you need all-wheel drive in a luxury electric car? The enhanced winter traction is certainly a plus, as is the dramatic power boost, but keep in mind that you'll lose some range in the bargain.

1^st

Introduced in 2017

Tesla Model 3 Long Range

Edmunds Rating: 8.1_/10

The Tesla Model 3 offers an enticing combination of performance, comfort and range, and its price continues to undercut the competition.

FAQ

What are the best electric vehicles on the market?

Our top rated mainstream electric vehicle is the Mercedes-Benz EQS for its excellent range, drivability, and practicality. Buyers looking for something with more performance and premium features should take a look at the BMW iX, our top-rated luxury electric SUV, or the Porsche Taycan, our top-rated luxury electric car. Learn more

What is the top-rated electric vehicle for 2019?

2019 saw the introduction of the Kia Niro EV, which jumped immediately to the top of our EV rankings. A long-range electric car with a roomy and practical cabin, the Niro EV is a good choice for small families. For luxury buyers, the Audi e-tron launched in 2019, providing an all-electric alternative to a two-row luxury SUV. The e-tron tied the Tesla Model 3 for first place in our luxury EV rankings. Learn more

What is the top-rated electric vehicle for 2018?

In 2018 the Tesla Model 3 had little competition in the EV space, offering plenty of range, performance, and technology. For more budget-minded EV buyers, the Chevrolet Bolt delivered zippy acceleration and multi-day range in a commuter friendly package, while the second-generation Nissan Leaf launched with a budget-friendly base model and longer-range Leaf Plus model. Learn more

What are the best used electric vehicles to buy?

Used electric vehicles can be an excellent value because of steeper-than-average devaluation in the first few years. Look for "CPO" or certified pre-owned vehicles if you're shopping for used EVs, and check how long the warranty on the vehicle's battery pack has left (a high-cost item should maintenance be required). Unless you've researched the pros and cons, we recommend against buying an older or higher-mileage used EV, as aging battery technology creates unique challenges. Learn more
