The levels advertised by brands for their electric cars can differ wildly from the distance they can achieve in real life, according to CR testing. For example, some electric vehicles have fallen as much as 50 miles below their EPA-estimated diversity; others have actually outgrown them. in our real-world road diversity ratings at 70 mph. Therefore, to choose the most productive electric cars each year, CR adds EV-specific criteria to its unique battery of automotive tests.
Every year, automakers continue to introduce electric cars, also known as electric cars or electric cars, in all frame shapes and styles, from small and medium-sized cars to SUVs and even pickup trucks. There are basic models that can travel around 300 kilometers. , the maximum can be between 250 and 350 miles on a single charge, and a limited number of models can reach up to 400 miles (or more) when fully charged.
But we don’t feature each and every EV we’ve checked. Like internal combustion engine cars, electric cars score a variety of scores on Consumer Reports checks and owner surveys. Many of them performed well in our checks, while others failed.
Some are reliable, as vehicle owners indicated in our annual automotive surveys, but many are not, especially for their first year of design. And while many are popular with a full suite of complex protection and driver-assistance features, those features are optional in some electric cars, and some automakers don’t even offer the full package.
Below, we’ve provided the most productive electric cars we’ve tested, ranked in order of overall rating, taking into account test driving performance, expected reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety, starting with the highest-rated electric vehicle. Please note that overall scores are replaced over time as new data becomes available, such as trustworthiness knowledge we gather through our proprietary surveys. The car style pages reflect our evaluations of Lacheck.
