Best Electric Vehicles From Consumer Reports' Tests
These EVs have impressive range and everyday practicality, and are reliable
Automakers continue to introduce electric vehicles in all shapes and body styles, from small and midsized cars to SUVs and even pickup trucks. There are entry-level models that can travel around 200 miles, ones that can go between 250 and 300 miles on a single charge, and a number of models that can achieve up to 400 miles—or more—when fully charged. And there are more planned from nearly every automaker.
But just like vehicles with an internal-combustion engine, EVs have varied results in Consumer Reports’ tests and owner surveys. Many of them have performed well in our road tests while others faltered. Some have proved reliable, as reported to us by vehicle owners in our Annual Auto Surveys. And while many come with a full complement of advanced driver assistance and safety features as standard equipment, these features are optional on a few EVs—and some automakers don’t even offer the full complement. As a result, we don’t recommend every EV that we’ve tested.
