Best Electric Cars for 2020

From 2008, a renaissance in electric vehicle manufacturing occurred due to advances in batteries, and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve urban air quality.

Tesla Model 3 was the world’s best selling EV from 2018 to 2019 and had a maximum electric range of 500 km (310 miles) according to the EPA. It’s ahead of the competition in terms of powertrain technology, infotainment technology, and semi-autonomous driving features.

Electric vehicles are the future but it’s not a future you have to wait for; there’s no better time to switch to an EV, especially given the variety of EVs on roads today.

Our list of the best EVs will help you find the electric car that’s right for you.
