Today, more and more people are making a conscious effort to reduce their carbon footprint by going green. And to meet their demands with an effort to match global expectations, car manufacturers are coming up with newer, efficient, and affordable electric vehicles (EV). Many of these stylish, sporty, and utility options meet EPA standards set for a non-polluting vehicle. And best of all, you enjoy premium features for an affordable price to drive most of the best electric cars in the market.
Here is our pick of 2020’s best electric cars.
Tesla Model 3
Nothing beats Tesla when it comes to electric vehicles, and the Model 3 is proof of this claim as it is sitting pretty at the top spot of our best electric cars list. The sporty vehicle runs just as well as it looks leaving behind a negligible carbon footprint. The all-wheel-drive motor can propel from 0-60 in just under 3.2 seconds, running purely on batteries. That’s pretty impressive! The latest 2020 version comes with major interior upgrades and is one of the top-selling models in the EV segment. Tesla Model 3 offers a reasonable 250-322 range on a single charge (depending on driving conditions).
Hyundai Kona Electric
The latest entrant in the 2020 EV segment is Hyundai’s compact Kona electric variant. Its high utility is one of the main reasons this five-passenger SUV stands to compete well against the likes of Tesla variants. The environment friendly SUV can run for a good 258 miles on a single charge, with a flexible passenger and payload capacity. The interior is designed to accommodate both passenger and cargo in every possible way, comfortably adjusting for floor and seating space. However, at the moment, the Kona Electric has been made available only in a limited number of states so you might have to consider alternatives.
Chevrolet Bolt
Chevrolet offers yet another affordable alternative and this time, you get an electric vehicle for the price of a gas guzzler. So why pay full price for a petrol or diesel option when you can eliminate your carbon footprint with one of the best electric cars available under $38,000. 2020 Chevrolet Bolt offers a great EV range of 259 miles on one charge, making it one of the few non-Tesla variants to achieve the mileage.
Jaguar I Pace
When it comes to luxury and style, Jaguar is among the few names that come to your mind. And taking the competition head to head with EV Giants like Tesla is the new Jaguar I Pace. Priced slightly on the premium end, the all-electric 2020 I-Pace SUV is powered by an electric motor that is capable of producing 512lbs of torque. Even though it may run on batteries, the vehicle handling is nothing short of what one would experience driving a regular gas-powered roadster hurtling down the asphalt. With the I-Pace, you get a driving range of 234 miles with an efficient battery pack before you need to power down and recharge.
