Most popular and reliable electric cars for sale
Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y
The Tesla Model 3 is the bestseller, the pioneering EV model to surpass one million sales, that genuinely introduced Tesla's innovation. It's a swift, spacious, and stylish 5-passenger sedan. This EV is available in three distinct versions:
- The RWD Standard Range Plus offers a range of 272 miles per charge.
- The AWD Long Range boasts an impressive 405-mile power reserve.
- The AWD Performance delivers a maximum of 387 miles per charge.
The Tesla Model Y is a sleek and versatile twin of the Tesla Model 3 in an SUV body. The Model Y can accommodate 5-7 passengers, depending on the equipment. Both models offer an impressive electric range that can last a week or take you on a long journey with fewer stops to recharge.
As Tesla vehicles, these models use the Supercharger network, the country's largest and most dependable DC fast charging points.
Among all the EVs available today, Tesla's Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV have the best balance and broadest appeal.

The Tesla Model S, a premium liftback, stands out as an exceptional electric vehicle that can cover a distance of 405 miles on a single charge. Beyond its impressive range, the Model S offers constant Internet connectivity. This innovative vehicle has adaptive headlights for superior visibility and an Autopilot for enhanced safety and driving assistance. It also offers a medical-grade air filtration system for a clean and healthy cabin atmosphere.
Tesla Model X
This full-size compact SUV comes with an all-electric powertrain that delivers an impressive range of about 350 miles on a single charge. The Model X combines exceptional performance with practicality.
Going from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.4 seconds and with a top speed of 155 mph, the Model X delivers an exhilarating driving experience. The interior can fit up to seven passengers, and you can arrange the seating in a "2+2+2" or "2+3+2" setup. The Model X also features signature falcon wing doors for unique styling and improved accessibility.
Chevrolet Bolt EV
The Chevrolet Bolt EV is one of the most budget-friendly electric cars on the US market. This eco-friendly EV is powered by a 65 kWh battery, delivering 200 hp.
The Bolt EV accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. A convenient feature allows you to engage in single-pedal drive mode at the touch of a button, enhancing regenerative braking for improved efficiency. Standard safety systems include:
- Automatic emergency braking;
- Lane-keeping assist to help stay on course;
- Automatic high beams that adapt to driving conditions.
Jaguar I-PACE
The Jaguar I-Pace is the culmination of the global EV industry and boasts an impressive range of 292 miles. Underneath the chassis, there's a strong battery that powers all four wheels through front and rear electric motors, providing a total of 395 hp. This remarkable power is backed by a 90 kWh battery pack that guarantees exceptional acceleration and dynamics. The interior of the I-Pace reflects this commitment to excellence, offering a luxurious driving experience.
Ford F-150 Lightning
The F-150 Lightning is a modern full-size electric pickup truck. It has a range of 320 miles and up to 450 hp! The Lightning is even more practical thanks to its electric powertrain and a robust Pro Power Onboard system, offering ample space and mobile power capabilities. But what really makes the F-150 Lightning so good is how much it feels like a regular Ford F-150. This model retained the successful formula that made the F-Series the best-selling car in America by a wide margin.
