Once upon a time electric cars were either compact commuters that screamed “tree hugger” or slick luxury models that cost more than six figures. But those days are
over. We’re now into the third generation of some models, and we’re even seeing the
demise of some electrics, like the groundbreaking plug-in Chevy Volt. Today, there are
dozens of different EV and plug-in hybrid models available in the U.S., with plenty of startups on the horizon. Models range from button-cute all-electric coupes cars to hybrid Chrysler
Pacifica minivans to pickup trucks with electric assist. So, now there’s real competitio in electrification. Many of these models are also connected, offering support for
Apple CarPlay , Android Auto or both. Here are the best-of- breed EV, plug-in and hybrid electrics, from least to most expensive.
