The rather fuel-efficient SUV, the Nissan Rogue can go 450 kilometres on a single fill up. Of course some of the smaller EV’s such as the Nissan Leaf, only has half the range than a SUV. Of course, a smaller car will be cheaper, but don’t have high hopes for your mini EV to get you to your cottage. However, there are still some EV’s with a higher range per charge, but the range is sub-par to the range of a gas powered car. These high range cars are about the same price as a sd powered car, but the price is steadily dropping. An example is the Tesla Model 3. Everything except the range of this car are almost identical to any gas powered 4-door car. The Model 3 can hit 100km/h in about 6 seconds, has seating for 5 people, has a 5 star safety …show more content…

However, Tesla has made a balancing factor by giving this car various autopilot features such as automatic autosteer, automatic lane change, and automatic autopark. The government will even give EV owners incentives and rebates if they buy EV’s. Certain owners can earn up to 13,000$ in incentives, but the average is 5,000$. So if you really think about it, the Model 3 goes for 35,000$, but with the incentives, it comes to 30,000. Although I mainly focused on the Tesla Model 3, there are many different EV’s just like, or even better than the Model 3. Also, at the rate electric cars are being advanced, the range of the average EV is set to go even higher. We know this because the range of the electric has only increased since they were released in 2012, and plans have been released to increase the range of EV’s and lower their cost. Now some people might ask, what about those who want a faster car, only hybrid and gas powered cars can deliver performance. This is not true. An example of this is the Tesla Model S. The Model S has 434 kilometres of range, can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, and it has a top speed of 250
