Just because electric vehicles (EV) aren't mainstream yet, that doesn't mean it's just a fad. This technology has been brewing for a while now and it's here to stay. It's only a matter of time before everyone trades their archaic petrol fueled cars and trucks for something a little more friendly on the wallet. So what is the right electric car for you? Do you want a Tesla or Audi? What about something a little more affordable? There is an electric car for everyone so let's dig in and take a look. HYUNDAI IONIC EV Hyundai is one of a unique EVs.

However, this comes with a downside as there is a monthly charge to rent the battery. Still, there are a lot of good possibilities here as it's tiny, silence and has a 150-mile range. TESLA MODEL S EV We're finally here. The car everyone is talking about. The Tesla Model S is the shining example of what every electric car should be. Audi, Hyundai, BMW, they are all just trying to catch up to Tesla. Is it cheap? No, but the Tesla Model S still has a loyal following. Not only is it extremely efficient, going 300 miles per battery charge, but its Ludicrous Mode gets you 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds. TESLA MODEL X SUV EV Yeah, we're still not done with Tesla yet. If you're here for Audi, then you'll have to wait a little while. Once again, this Model X SUV is not cheap but darn does it look good. Since it's an SUV, you can expect loads of room in the back and in the passenger area. The Tesla Model X seats up to seven and it also has that "supernatural" performance like the Tesla Model S. To put it this way, if a Tesla, Audi and Porche Cayenne Turbo all had a race, this Tesla would smoke the competition. BMW i3 HATCHBACK …show more content…
The i3 is far from typical but try to peel your eyes away from it for a second. Like all BMW's, the build quality is excellent and they claim to go 195 miles on a single charge. Much like Audi, the BMW is above average in price but you'll earn that back with its efficiency. NISSAN LEAF HATCHBACK EV Before you judge, don't be ashamed to drive a car called "The Leaf." Sure, a Nissan is not a Tesla or Audi but it's played a huge role in making electric cars affordable. For the tree huggers out there, this one is one of the most environmentally friendly. VOLKSWAGEN HATCHBACK EV We almost have all the best German automakers in this list. Still waiting for Audi though. While we wait for Audi, let's talk about the Volkswagen for a second. This electric car goes 130-miles on a single charge but other than that this is a simple car. For those looking for a low key, no-frills approach to electric driving, this is the one for you. KIA SOUL EV HATCHBACK Welcome to the list, South Korea. Somehow, you even managed to beat out Audi. In price, the Kia Soul certainly beats most of the competition in price, clocking in at around $30,000. surprisingly, the interior of the car has an upmarket vibe to it. It's tiny, it's hip and it gets you 132 miles between charges. SMART FOR TWO
