BMW i3
• Fuel (or energy) efficiency: 118 MPGe
The i3 and its sportier but less fuel efficient i3s may be the most eye-catching of the small electric cars, with their carbon fiber trim and sleek, minimalist interiors.
Chevrolet Bolt EV
• Fuel (or energy) efficiency: 119 MPGe
The vehicle has received positive reviews for its handling and spaciousness, as well as its 238-mile range on a fully charged battery. In USA, Bolt costs less than the BMW i3 but more than a roomier but less fuel efficient Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid.
Volkswagen e-Golf
• Fuel (or energy) efficiency: 119 MPGe
Car & Driver magazine described the e-Golf as a “handsome little package” that has all of the pep of the regular Volkswagen Golf. However, e-Golf lags on driving range compared to comparable models like the Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Model 3 at just 125 miles.
Tesla Model 3 Long Range
• Fuel (or energy) efficiency: 130 MPGe
Model 3 is currently the lowest priced new Tesla, however, buyers have to drop another $10,000 on top of the base price for the long-range battery to reach 130 MPGe and an industry-leading range of 325 miles per full battery charge.
Hyundai Ioniq Electric
• Fuel (or energy) efficiency: 136 MPGe
The Ioniq has an unremarkable maximum 124-mile range. Cost-conscious buyers might be better off sacrificing some fuel economy for the lower-cost Ioniq plug-in hybrid that can travel up to 29 miles on battery power alone.
