EV Buying Guide are:
- Family EV — 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is
a compact SUV with much more space inside than meets the eye —
there's room to carry a family and haul all the stuff that comes
with them. Inside, parents will appreciate the storage nooks,
perfect for stashing snacks or devices. For those with kids in car
seats, the Ioniq 5's backseat easily accommodates two car seats
thanks to its abundant legroom and no-nonsense Latch anchors for
easy connection. With a competitive EPA-estimated maximum range of
220-303 miles, depending on configuration, this family vehicle is
ready for short and long road trips.
- Value EV — 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV: The Chevy Bolt
EV hatchback is a well-equipped all-electric vehicle with an
EPA-estimated maximum range of 259 miles that starts at less than
$30,000 before any applicable tax
incentives. Featuring a 10.2-inch touchscreen multimedia system
with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone
connectivity, automatic climate control, automatic emergency
braking and lane departure steering assist, this hatch delivers
more than enough to satisfy budget-conscious car shoppers.
- Luxury EV — 2023 Genesis Electrified G80: The Genesis
Electrified G80 is a gorgeous, electrified luxury sedan with an
opulent interior that outshines the competition. The multimedia
system is simple to use, easy to decipher and elegant. In addition,
this luxury EV elevates the driving experience to one where there
is practically no powertrain noise at all — unless you want there
to be.
- Commuter EV — 2023 Kia Niro EV: The Kia Niro EV is a fun
and dynamic four-door compact hatchback with a comfortable ride and
pleasant cabin — perfect for long commutes or traffic jams. With an
estimated maximum range of 253 miles, owners shouldn't need to plug
in every night, plus the hatchback body packs a respectable amount
of cargo and passenger space within a tidy, easy-to-park exterior
dimension.
