3 of the Cheapest EVs to Own

Cheap EVs can be good ones, too, it’s not all about Tesla.

There are tons of EVs to choose from nowadays, some expensive, some cheap, some amazing, and some not so much. It is hard to choose when virtually every automaker in the world is working on manufacturing an EV for the public. Tesla, Ford, Hyundai, and even Mazda have produced electric vehicles. While some have seen more success than others–cough, cough, Mazda–it’s nice to know that you, the consumer have a lot of options. More options mean better competition between companies. And more competition drives the price for these kinds of cars down. Companies like Chevrolet have designed EVs specifically to be affordable for consumers. Not everyone wants to break the bank on a Tesla, even if they are great EVs.

Buying a sustainable car shouldn’t mean spending all the money you have. Here are the 3 cheapest EVs on the market right now.

The Most Important Aspect

The most important aspect of an electric vehicle is its range. Sure, price, size, and design are important, but that does not matter if your EV can’t get you where you need to go. Teslas are known for their respectable range. The Hyundai Ioniq is also known for its range, but these two cars do not make the ‘cheapest EVs’ list.

Chevrolet Bolt

The Chevrolet Bolt offers everything you might need out of an EV and boasts an affordable price. The starting price for a Bolt is $27,495, which is considerably good. The Bolt gets an estimated 247-259 miles of range, which isn’t the best, but it is going to get you where you need to go. The Bolt has amazing consumer reviews for its acceleration and its interior technology. If this is something you think you want, you’ll want to visit your Chevy dealer soon because GM has recently announced the discontinuation of the Chevy Bolt.

Nissan Leaf

The Nissan Leaf is another cheap EV, but it doesn’t quite measure up to the Bolt. The Leaf, typically, costs more than the Bolt, and it doesn’t even get more range. With a range estimated at 149-212 miles, you’ll be pushing it on those extra-long drives. While it’s not nearly as good as the Bolt, the Leaf has been praised for its comfortable interior and handling.

Mazda MX-30

Coming in at last place we have the Mazda MX-30. This car looks like its cousin, the Mazda CX-30, but features an all-electric build that is overwhelmingly disappointing. The MX-30 costs $35,485, which is not too bad, but its range is abysmal. With only 100 miles of range, this car won’t be taking any long drives. It might be a good commuter car, but your money is better spent on something that will take you further. The only plus about the MX-30 is that it is an SUV and has a bit more versatility compared to the other cars on this list.
