Top 3 EV Models For 2023

EV models are getting better than ever in terms of range, affordability, and power. Many buyers will be out looking for their first electric vehicle. Gone are the days when you only had a few EV models to choose from. Now, you can choose from a wide variety of EVs, including trucks, SUVs, and cars. Let’s take a look at three top choices to consider for 2023.

Kia EV6

The Kia EV6 is a small SUV with a long driving range, lively handling, an upscale interior, and many active safety features. Engine options on the EV6 make between 167 and 320 horsepower, and the driving range is up to 310 miles with a full charge. The EV6 also offers fast recharging, so you won’t be down for long when you run out of range. Despite being a small SUV, the EV6 has seating for five in relative comfort. The starting price for the EV6 is $40,900, which is higher than the average gas-powered small SUV.

Most EV6 models come with a RWD layout, but AWD is available and makes the EV6 much more surefooted. The EV6 has a sporty exterior design and it backs that up with genuinely lively driving dynamics. It feels stable and agile through turns and in passing situations.

GMC Hummer EV Pickup

As you might expect from an electric Hummer pickup, this model has a pretty high price tag. But the good news is that it’s also a genuinely impressive EV truck. It’s incredibly fast off the line, handles great both on and off-road, the interior is amazingly spacious and comfortable, and its range is 300 miles on a full charge.

When it comes to purely impressive performance, it’s hard to beat the Hummer EV pickup. However, you can certainly argue that it’s not the most practical EV out there, and rivals can haul/tow more.

Chevrolet Bolt

Check out your local Chevrolet dealer for a look at the Chevy Bolt EV. This is one of the most affordable EV options out there. It’s incredibly spacious for a small car and has a good driving range of 260 miles on a single charge. There are only two trims of the Bolt, but both are under $30,000, which makes this EV a good alternative to more expensive rivals like the Tesla Model
3 and Hyundai Kona Electric.

The Bolt makes 200 horsepower with its electric motor and this is plenty to move the compact Bolt around town and at highway speeds. Inside, you’ll find an upscale cabin with many soft-touch surfaces and a modern, fully digital gauge cluster.

Even though these are some of the best EV models available in their respective categories, the EV market is on the increase. As with any other vehicle, it’s important to know what your primary need is and to test-drive any vehicle you’re interested in.
