The availability of fully electric models has gone up drastically in recent years. Where there were once only a few choices, mainly from Tesla, there are now many choices from many different automakers. Let’s take a look at some of the best SUVs that have embraced electricity as their sole power source.

The Honda Prologue is somewhat Honda in name only as it’s built on a GM platform, but it features a comfortable ride and a quiet cabin. The Prologue comes in three trim levels and can seat five passengers in two rows of seats. The most popular trim is the Touring AWD, which is estimated to get 101 MPGe in the city and 88 MPGe on the highway.
