If there’s one thing you can do to help reduce your carbon footprint, it’s going electric. Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions, and they also get great mileage compared with gasoline-powered vehicles. But there are differences between the different kinds of EVs, especially in regard to range and charging time. What’s more, EVs are also more expensive than traditional cars, which means you need to put a lot more thought into your buying decision. Below, we’ve listed the top EVs in the market.
Hyundai Ioniq 5
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is our favorite electric SUV, with room to seat five adults comfortably and enough luggage space to bring everything you need on your drive. The inside of the car is refined and elegant and has tons of features. There are also plenty of hooks and cubbies throughout the cabin that are great for keeping bags secure while you’re driving. This compact SUV is definitely worth a look if you need an electric car that goes way beyond the norm.
Volkswagen ID.4
The Volkswagen ID.4 is a spacious, comfortable electric SUV with enough range to travel 250 miles between charges. The ID.4 has seating for a total of five, its cabin is quite roomy, comfortable, and well-finished, and it looks great. For this year, the base rear-wheel-drive ID.4 has been built to travel an estimated 280 miles; the all-wheel-drive versions can go up to 251 miles on just a single charge. That’s pretty impressive, especially if you’re looking for a daily-use car.
Lucid Air
The all-new Lucid Air is a dream EV. It has an incredible amount of cargo space, handles like an athletic sedan, and delivers mind-melting acceleration while still being comfortable on long trips. With 1,111 horsepower and 1,025 pounds-feet of torque to power through the most frenetic traffic or over open tarmac, it’s both a daily driver and a true sports car that won’t break your bank. If you’ve been looking to purchase a luxury sedan and are used to uncompromising performance and standards, this car is a great purchase.
