Top 9 Electric Cars of 2017

Automakers are frequently introducing new models of all-electric vehicles making the list of cars longer. The same can be said for electric cars as well. The good news is that prices are decreasing as well. Here is a list of the best electric cars available in the market today, although some of them may not be available in all states.

2017 Fiat 500e –  Range: 84 miles

This particular model comes in a lot of different fun colors and has quite a personality. The all-electric version is faster than its gasoline counterpart surely due to the instant torque of the car’s 111-horsepower motor.

The Nissan Leaf is one of the best-selling all-electric cars. The compact car with 107-horsepower comes with a 30kWh battery which enables it to travel 107 miles on a charge. It may be a compact car, but it has impressive cargo and passenger space giving a tough competition to some midsize cars.

The Leaf offers a comfortable and smooth ride but at highway speeds, it feels underpowered.

2017 BMW i3 – Range: 81–114 miles

The carbon fiber body makes the BMW i3 an exceptionally light car with 170 horsepower. The car is well in line with how a BMW should perform with nimble handling and brisk acceleration. Some parts of the car’s futuristic interior are made using renewal and recycled materials. While the base i3 can travel up to 81 miles on one charge, you can choose to upgrade to the model with a bigger battery which you give you 114 miles per charge.

2017 Ford Focus Electric – Range: 115 miles

The Ford Focus Electric now comes with a new 33.5 kWh battery which means an improved mileage at 115 miles on a single charge. The battery upgrade does not increase its price, and thus it is still cheaper than the outgoing one. It offers 143 horsepower. It could be peppy off the line but does not allow that much power at higher speeds. The car has got an athletic handling and quality interior just like its gas model.

2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric – Range: 124 miles
You can get the Hyundai Ioniq in three varieties—an electric model, a traditional hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. This car is highly efficient with an upscale interior including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an intuitive 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system.

2017 Volkswagen e-Golf – Range: 125 miles

2017 Chevrolet Bolt – Range: 238 miles

The Chevrolet Bolt is the first mass-market affordable long-range all-EV. You would go 238 miles on one charge. The General Motors calls it a crossover, but the EPA calls it a wagon since it is a 5-seat compact hatchback. Apart from plenty of passenger and cargo space, it comes equipped with an array of tech features like the Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and 10.2-inch touch-screen infotainment system.

2017 Kia Soul EV – Range: 93 miles

2017 Tesla Model X – Range: 237–295 miles

The Tesla Model X is in its own league for being a long-range all-electric midsize SUV with a seating capacity of seven people. It has also got some unique features which include the largest touch-screen, enormous panoramic windshield, summon and autopilot modes, over-the-air software updates, and access to the exclusive Supercharger network of Tesla. The Model X not only can tow up to 5,000 pounds but is able to travel 295 miles on one charge in its 100D configuration. The P100D is the quickest SUV in the world as it gets zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and with the latest over-the-air Ludicrous Plus update from Tesla, it got even faster.
