Electric Car Price Guide: Every 2015-2016 Plug-In Car, With Specs: UPDATED
2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV - $23,845
16 kWh battery, 62 miles (EPA), 112 MPGe, 49 kW motor
Mitsubishi's jellybean-style electric car has never been a strong seller in the U.S, but the Japanese automaker recently slashed its pricing, making it the cheapest electric vehicle on the market. You're still saddled with low performance and those unusual looks, but some owners could drive from a dealership having paid less than $16,000 for their i-MiEV, if they're able to maximize their use of incentives.
2015 Nissan Leaf - $29,860
24 kWh battery, 84 miles (EPA), 114 MPGe, 80 kW motor
The Leaf is one of the better-known electric cars. While sales haven't matched Nissan's expectations and there have been issues with battery degradation in hot weather, the Leaf is still one of the most usable electric cars on the market. 2013's price drop made the Leaf one of the more affordable electric cars on the market.
2015 Chevrolet Volt - $35,170
17.1 kWh battery, 38 miles (EPA), 98 MPGe, 111 kW motor
The first-generation Chevrolet Volt is on its way out as Chevy prepares to launch an all-new 2016 model in the second half of this year. Production is set to wind down soon in anticipation of the new model, but the current Volt has still been one of the best-selling plug-in cars in the U.S. over the past four years.
Most of us do not drive more than 50 miles a day, and most of us own two or more vehicles. So here is a bit of what Tesla has started. They are not super fast luxury sedans, but how many of us drive one of those, in any case.
