It features a numb, floaty ride along with a pretty bland interior. For buyers though, it makes things middle-of-the-road all-around. That probably makes things cheaper from Hyundai’s corporate viewpoint. With three powertrain options, buyers can choose from traditional hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric versions. The Hyundai Ioniq gets props for innovation. 2021 Hyundai Ioniq (Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, & EV) That’s closer to competitors like the Chevy Bolt but still a little behind (granted at a lower price point). Because of that limitation, even the longer ranger “Plus” trims only max out around 226 miles according to the EPA. But its compact size can hold only so big of a battery. That makes it a true EV for the masses (sorry, Tesla). The 2021 Nissan Leaf is one of the most affordable fully electric vehicles on the market. It’s just a better all-around car-even though it’s a traditional hybrid and uses gasoline. But if you anticipate using gas often, we suggest opting for the Honda Insight instead. That’s one of the longest ranges of any PHEV on the market. The plug-in hybrid version of the Clarity can travel 48 miles on electricity alone before the gasoline engine kicks in. The latter is only available for lease in certain states.
There are two different versions offered: a plug-in and a fuel cell version. 2021 Honda Clarity (Plug-In & Fuel Cell)Īlso at the bottom of the heap is the 2021 Honda Clarity. While the original Prius is a traditional hybrid electric vehicle, the newer Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid version. But we do appreciate the available AWD, something that helps it stand out in the segment. On the inside, we like our cars to look like…well, cars. Its styling has always been an acquired taste. Then again, that’s always been the case with the Prius. The sharp, angular lines of the exterior design aren’t for everyone. The Toyota Prius is the granddaddy of environmentally friendly cars, but it’s beginning to show its age.
Other competitors offer more roominess for passengers and cargo, also. The price is also very affordable! However, the range is simply paltry 110 miles just won’t cut it.

Plus the instant torque of an electric motor really gives it some speed off the line. It has the fun driving dynamics and sportiness of a gas Mini Cooper. Mini’s first stab at an all-electric car does have some good things going for it. But that uses gasoline and…kind of defeats the purpose, right? That is unless you spring for the range extender which turns it into a plug-in hybrid. The i3 only goes 153 miles according to the EPA. However, buyers can find all-electric alternatives at a lower price point that still have some luxury features but travel a much longer distance. The 2021 BMW i3 has great safety ratings and shows off BMW’s impeccable build quality. We rank 18 hybrid and electric cars from best to worst by combining their ratings on driving performance, standard features, design, and value. If you’re unclear about the differences between each type, head on over to our lovely electric vehicle explainer to clear things up for you. While 2020 electric vehicle sales were flat (for obvious reasons), cars with batteries are on the up and up.įor this listing, we’ve combined HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs all onto one list. But in certain regions of the country, like the Western U.S.’s 5% EV market share, their numbers are growing larger every day. Nationally, electric vehicles still only comprise just shy of 2% of all cars sold. Over a million EVs are now on the road in the U.S.
