La gama de vehículos eléctricos (EV) se extiende desde los hatchbacks de menor precio hasta los lujosos SUV. Aquí, presentamos 8 vehículos eléctricos que evaluamos recientemente y divididos en dos grupos de precios: por debajo de $60,000 y por encima de $60,000.

Vehículos eléctricos por encima de $60,000

La categoría de vehículos eléctricos de lujo fue lanzada por Tesla, que todavía domina este rango de precios. Sin embargo, ahora Jaguar también ofrece un modelo, y otros están listos para unirse al campo. Aquí presentamos los 3 carros que CR ha calificado, clasificados por puntaje general.

Quick Take

2019 Tesla Model S

Price Range: $68,500 - $92,975

The Model S has lightning-quick acceleration and excellent handling, and its long driving range and nationwide Supercharger network let drivers embark on lengthy, worry-free trips. But it takes a while to recharge, its controls are frustrating to use, and its reliability is below average.

Quick Take

2019 Jaguar I-Pace

Price Range: $46,300 - $50,700

Owner Satisfaction

The I-Pace is agile in corners and quick off the line, making it fun to drive. But despite the luxurious interior, its controls are fussy and distracting. Like all EVs, running costs are low, but the I-Pace doesn’t benefit from Tesla’s fast-charging network. Jaguar’s below-par brand reliability takes a toll on its Overall Score.

Quick Take

2019 Tesla Model X

Price Range: $83,000 - $95,825

Owner Satisfaction

The Model X is a big, heavy SUV, but it accelerates and handles like a much smaller vehicle. However, its overwrought technology—particularly the falcon-wing doors—has caused reliability headaches, and its ride and wind noise can make it tiring to drive.

Vehículos eléctricos de menos de $60,000

El campo de los EV con precios más razonables está creciendo. Estos son los 5 modelos de vehículos eléctricos de menos de $60,000 que CR ha calificado, clasificados por puntaje general.

Quick Take

The Kona Electric is one of the best among the affordable EVs, with a robust range of 258 miles and the practicality of a small SUV. It’s much quicker and quieter than the regular Kona, and it’s enjoyable to drive. 

Quick Take

2019 Chevrolet Bolt

Price Range: $24,425 - $26,500

The Bolt’s long range, nimble handling, and quick acceleration make it a solid choice among EVs. We wish that Chevrolet would shorten the charge time, and improve the front seats and ride comfort.

Quick Take

2019 BMW i3

Price Range: $28,850 - $35,200

The i3 stands out because it handles well and is very reliable. Otherwise, this diminutive EV has a short driving range, it’s hard for rear passengers to get in and out, and it has very limited cargo space.

Quick Take

2019 Tesla Model 3

Price Range: $42,725 - $59,025

The Model 3 is agile and fun to drive, and has comfortable front seats and a long driving range. However, its stiff ride and distracting controls hurt the overall experience. Tesla also has low brand reliability.

Quick Take

2019 Nissan Leaf

Price Range: $23,575 - $30,625

Local Cars for Sale

The Leaf has a quiet interior, and it's easy to get in and out, plus it has standard automatic emergency braking. But some versions have a short driving range. Its handling is a bit clumsy, and the driving position is awkward.
