The 2020 Bolt has made it possible to go 259 miles on a single charge in a car costing under $38,000 before any state or local incentives.
In the case of the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV, I can provide five days of recent experience plus three years of personal history.
The 2020 Hyundai Kona EV Ultimate hits all the sweet spots for anyone looking for versatility, style and a 250+ mile electric driving range.
This year Nissan offers two versions of the Leaf. The standard model, which was all-new in 2018, has a 150-mile all-electric driving range; new for 2019, the Leaf Plus can go up to 226 miles.
Even with the limitations versus its competitors–not having the most driving range, fastest charging or largest interior–the 2019 Fiat 500e shines as a city car. It is zippy and fun to drive and does this carrying two adults comfortably up front.
The 2019 Toyota Mirai uses a fuel cell with a battery. You can view on a screen where the energy comes from and where it’s going as it switches back and forth between them.
The 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV is not alone in the market, but can hold its own against most of the competitors out there in range and price.
It wasn’t until the 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus arrived that the Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Tesla and other EVs got real competition.
The 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus is the Leaf that we have all been waiting for. It’s a compelling balance of range, quality, reliability, value, features, and cost.
