The Future of Driving: Exploring Top EV Options in 2023

Electric vehicles (EVs) have come a long way in recent years. They're no longer the clunky, slow, and impractical vehicles of the past. In fact, they're fast, sleek, and becoming more practical every day. Tesla has been the dominant player in the EV market, but there are other options out there for people who want an electric car but don't want a Tesla. Here are the top 5 EV options for those who don't want a Tesla.

Chevrolet Bolt EUV

First on the list is the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt. The Bolt is the cheapest EV you can buy in America, but there is a caveat. The federal $7,500 EV tax credit makes it cheaper than the Nissan Leaf, which does not qualify for the tax credit. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV, the larger crossover version of the Bolt, is my favorite in the cheap EV segment. It starts at $27,800 and has nearly 57 cubic feet of cargo space, making it a practical option for families or those who need to transport large items. The Bolt EUV also has more than enough range for most American commuters, with 247 miles on a full charge.

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has a lot of other features that make it a great choice for those in the market for an EV. The car is appointed nicely with comfortable seats and nice techs like dual digital displays and wireless CarPlay. Going up a trim level to premier gives you GM's highly touted SuperCruise highway hands-free assistance tech and nice cabin materials like leather seats. Thanks to its low center of gravity, the car handles nicely in and around town with adequate power and agility.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

Another option on the list is the Ford Mustang Mach-E. This electric crossover is not only practical but also fun to drive. The Ford Mustang Mach-E has a range of up to 300 miles on a full charge and can go from 0-60 in under 4 seconds. The car also has a spacious interior with room for five and a lot of cargo space. It's a great option for those who want an electric vehicle but still want the power and style of a Mustang.

Hyundai Kona Electric

The Hyundai Kona Electric is another practical and affordable option for those in the market for an EV. With a range of up to 258 miles on a full charge, the Kona Electric can easily handle most daily commutes. It's also a practical choice for families with a spacious interior and cargo area. The Hyundai Kona Electric also comes with a lot of tech features, including a large touchscreen display, smartphone integration, and advanced safety features.
