This article will look at the Top 5 electric cars in 2023. There are plenty of vehicles to look forward to through the remainder of 2022. But manufacturers are working on their models for years ahead, and we know what we can expect to see in the coming years.
It’s not surprising that electric vehicles comprise a substantial portion of this list, with many companies looking to increase their offerings in the field of electric vehicles, such as Hyundai by introducing their Ioniq range and Renault offering two fresh tribute models to the iconic cars of the past. If you’re only a petrolhead, you’re not in the wrong since there are V8 models on the list.
Top 5 Best electric cars in 2023
Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV
What makes it stand apart: Two body styles to pick from, an enticing drive, and spacious back seating in EUV. The design could be improved: Limited cargo space in both.
We’ve put the updated Bolt Electric and the updated 2022 Bolt EUV in this article to make sure that they’re identical cars if the photos above aren’t convincing enough. The EUV is significantly larger in back seat space, has an eerily SUV-like shape, subtle differences in styling, and eight miles less range.
Both are so similar, and even in terms of cost ($31,995 as opposed to $33,995), We’re left wondering why Chevy has bothered to revise and stayed on with the Bolt EV in the first place.
Whatever the case, and more importantly, both are fantastic electric vehicles, made even better due to the common interior, comfort, and content enhancements (including Super Cruise for the EUV).
They come with a range of 250 and 258 miles, respectively, which can help ease range anxiety. The added dual-level charge cord lets you charge your car at home without needing a separate 240-volt charge unit (GM will even pay for installing a basic outlet that is 240 volts within your garage home).
From a vehicle perspective, they’re spacious and well-equipped. They are also quick to accelerate and perform better than our two low-cost electric vehicle options.
It’s also important to note that GM is finally putting the cars back on sale following an extended stop-sale triggered by the need to replace recalled batteries. The recall will not deter anyone from purchasing one.
- Range of Electricity:258 miles (EV) or 250 miles (EUV)
- Base cost: $27,590 (EV) or $29,190 (EUV)
- Are you eligible for Federal tax credits of $7,500? : No
Hyundai Kona Electric
What makes it stand apart:Â Attractive price with tax rebate; enjoyable to drive and easy to use tech
Could be more effective:Â Small back seat; small cargo space
While it’s barely below our $35,000 mark as one of the most affordable electric vehicles we’ve tested, Kona Electric is among the most affordable.
Kona Electric is the one that is to be a bit more aggressive on the fashion front and ensures that you’re having some fun driving. Although it’s strange (kinda like the scene in which Neo is missing his mouth from the movie “The Matrix”), when racing against the Nissan Leaf, the bar is set to an easy-to-reach level.
Similar to that of the Chevrolet Bolt EV (which we’d love to feature in this list, but the ongoing recall of its battery hinder its sales), The Kona Electric has a range of 258 miles, which is more than a lot of the more expensive (though larger and more robust) options which are discussed below.
Contrary to that, the Bolt EV is eligible for federal tax credits, which means it’s less expensive than the price tag might suggest. We love the standard Kona, so opting for the Electric will also earn us approval.
The range of electric power:258 miles
Base cost:$35,345
Nissan Leaf
It stands out because Driver assistance features are well-executed at a low cost with the base battery; numerous range options.
Perhaps better: It’s not very interesting to drive; it doesn’t have the same range as other EVs.
Indeed, the Nissan Leaf was the first electric car with a price that didn’t have a body shared with an internal combustion vehicle. With its new generation, the Leaf is a bit more typical in appearance, and with the addition of Leaf Plus, the Leaf Plus model can exceed the 200-mile threshold that is believed to be the point at which the fear of range starts to diminish.
The basic Leaf, however, remains for those who don’t want to travel a lot at any given moment and prefer not to be paying for a distance they don’t require.
When you consider credits for federal taxes, the base Leaf’s cost is only $20,875, which may be less when you reside in California or other states that offer additional tax rebates or credits.
The Plus price is just in the mid-20s when incentives and credit are taken into the price, thanks to a significant price cut in 2022. For either, it comes with Nissan’s user-friendly information technology and well-designed driver assistance features, along with the spacey well-appointed, and practical four-door hatchback design. This isn’t claimed for other less expensive EVs such as Mini Cooper SE or Mazda CX-30. Mini Cooper SE and Mazda CX-30.
- Electric range: 150 miles (base); 226 miles (Plus)
- Base cost base price: $28,375 (base) and $33,375 (Plus)
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Its distinctive style, impressive performance, user-friendly technology, and premium cabin stand out. It could be improved: The back seat is positioned quite low, and the cabin’s interior design is unassuming.
A popular and highly talked-about (and controversial) new car is one of the most electric vehicles you can purchase. This isn’t “the new Mustang.”
It’s a new thing, not a replacement, that effectively makes “Mustang” a Ford sub-brand by creating an electric crossover with styling cues and a performance-oriented driving character inspired by the still-very-much-on-sale Mustang coupe and convertible that are still powered by gasoline.
This is a major part of Mach-E’s appeal. It’s cooler looking and runs better due to being an original Mustang. Given how dull low-cost electric cars have been, it’s great news.
In addition, its crossover body design allows for a comfortable backseat space and storage space, and its massive touchscreen, Sync 4A, has impressed our reviewers with its simple design and the wide range of battery and drivetrain combinations is what makes Ford’s first Electric from scratch vehicle open to a vast selection of tastes and requirements. While other hybrids have a crossover design for around the same amount, the Mach-E is still a staple on our list of top picks.
The range of electric power:Â 211-300 miles depending on the drivetrain (RWD or AWD) and battery pack (68 kWh vs. the 88 kWh)
Price base:Â $44,995
Hyundai Ioniq 5
It stands out because the cabin is spacious and airy with incredible infotainment and security technology; it is enjoyable to drive.
The Sci-Fi hatchback design won’t suit everyone. It’s initially only available in a handful of states; not as fast as Tesla Model 3
We’re not quite sure if it’s true that the Ioniq 5 looks like it is from the future or if it’s the “Back to the Future II”-style image shortly. But regardless, it’s distinctive.
While it appears to be an incredibly compact hatchback, it’s much longer than the surprisingly large 2022 Hyundai Tucson and has an extended wheelbase than the huge Hyundai Palisade.
It’s not particularly tall or over the ground. However, inside, its deceivingly large dimensions create a spacious, comfortable, and spacious cabin. We also like the user-friendly and well-executed tech for safety and infotainment and its minimalist, clean design, which retains some physical controls.
It’s not an attack on Tesla. Each Ioniq 5 features the same 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack (though there’s a 58-kWh battery pack in the future), and, like other EVs, it can power the rear wheels or all four with an additional motor on to the front.
This leads to various performances and range numbers; however, the difference in performance is much larger (7.3 seconds with RWD as opposed to 5.1 for AWD).
In addition, each Ioniq 5 features an electrical 800-volt structure, which allows it to charge up to 10 percent with 350 kW in 18 minutes. It will speed up the charging process on smaller chargers, too.
The range of electricity:Â 303 miles (RWD) or 256 miles (AWD)
Basis price $44,875
