The EVs of today look nothing like the ones of the past. Today, they offer everything from a stylish design to high-tech features that might even outperform many of the gas-powered vehicles on the market. Some EVs are even based on gas-car platforms, such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV, which makes them user friendly and familiar from the get-go. Besides, over time, electric vehicles are cheaper to own thanks to reasonable prices for electricity, minimal maintenance, and better efficiency overall.
We’ve got a line up of some of the best value-for-money electric cars you should consider buying without burning a hole in your wallet.
2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E
Just on the market, the all-electric Mustang Mach-E crossover is more than capable of taking on the brand-new Tesla Model Y head-on. Backing up its top looks are vital features that say it will travel up to 300 miles on a single charge. It’s affordable $44,995 price point is nothing to be laughed at either. Set to arrive by the end of 2020, we’ll still have a bit of waiting in line for the less expensive variant that should be available by 2021.
2021 Mazda MX-30
Mazda’s first all-electric vehicle is a small crossover based on the all-new CX-30. Scheduled to come in around the end of the year, it has a compact battery, delivers little horsepower, and only goes 130 miles at best. Experts peg the pricing around the $35,000 mark making it something to look forward to if you are in the market for a cheap alternatively powered crossover.
2021 Nissan Ariya
With big plans for its first fully-electric crossover, Nissan packs in quite a few features into its standard list. At the starting price of $40,000, this small SUV is slated to run for close to 300 miles and should be here soon enough.
2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge
Similar to the gas-powered XC40, this fully electric XC40 Recharge can be pre-ordered for a fully refundable $1,000 deposit. With a max range of about 250 miles, it is slated to be about $50,000 and give you all the convenience and comfort of a luxury subcompact SUV class vehicle.
