Electric cars were, once upon a time, either labelled the “ride of the tree huggers” or slick “Back to the Future”-esque models that cost more than what one would make in a lifetime. But it’s now 2019 and electric cars are now the revolution, with brands like Tesla and Chevy even rolling out third-gen models. Today, there are numerous plug-ins and hybrid electric vehicles (EV) coming up, complete with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® support. Herein, we enlist the best of 2019’s electric cars in the market.

1. Hyundai Kona Electric
With prices starting at around $36,950, the Hyundai KONA crossover SUV offers great value, is a joy to drive, is practical and fun, and delivers efficiency without compromising style and comfort. The 2013 version of this car features an upscale cabin, agile handling, a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, comfortable interiors, and smart cruise control while being powered by a 201-horsepower electric motor with a range of 258 MPGe.

2. Chevrolet Bolt EV
The 2019 Bolt EV is a car with a host of impressive features lined up in its offering: 0 to 60 in just 6 seconds, impressive full charging in just 9 hours, a range of 238 MPGe, and one of the comfiest vehicles from the stable of Chevrolet. With a starting price of around $36,620, the Bolt might not be the most dashing of EVs out there, but it is one of the best examples of what all can be accomplished in an EV at an affordable price.

3. Nissan LEAF
Having undergone a redesign just last year, Nissan’s best-selling EV has gone on to add longer ranges and better technology. While the 2013 version of this car may be one of the most expensive models in the subcompact category, it is one of the cheapest when it comes to EVs – starting at just around $29,990. The Leaf has a range of 151 MPGe on a single charge and is equipped with a 147-horsepower electric motor. Other offerings include a 5-inch color display, Bluetooth, satellite radio, ProPilot System, and Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® connectivity.

4. Ram 1500 with eTorque
The 2019 Ram 1500 is using electric assistance very cleverly to change the impression that pickup trucks aren’t environmentally friendly. The electric assistance improves its performance and gives more mileage sans making the driver feel like they’re driving a hamstrung, whiny EV. The mild hybrid, as its package is known, features a belt-driven 48-volt generator/motor and a standard combustion V6 engine, eliminating all the tardy, clunky engine restarts, which is quite a welcome improvement.

5. Volkswagen e-Golf
Volkswagen combines a powerful electric engine with its traditional hatchback design, bringing together the best of both worlds in the much-loved e-Golf. The starting price of this EV is around $31,895, and it is equipped with a 134-horsepower electric motor with a good acceleration. The e-Golf offers a range of 119 MPGe when fully charged, which can be done in less than 6 hours. The Volkswagen e-Golf also comes with a rearview camera, satellite radio, HD radio, a USB port, Bluetooth, and a digital cockpit.
