Best Electric Cars
These reliable electric vehicles demonstrate impressive range and everyday practicality
Every year, automakers continue to introduce electric cars—also known as electric vehicles, or EVs—in all shapes and body styles, from small and midsized cars to SUVs and even pickup trucks. There are entry-level models that can travel around 200 miles, ones that can go between 250 and 300 miles on a single charge, and a number of models that can achieve up to 400 miles—or more—when fully charged. (See our test results for range.)
But we don’t recommend every EV we’ve tested. Just like vehicles with an internal combustion engine, EVs have varied results in Consumer Reports’ tests and owner surveys. Many of them have performed well in our road tests while others faltered.
