Popular Battery Electric Vehicles
It can feel quite intimidating looking at the huge range of BEVs available from both old and new auto manufacturers. One way to start your search is with the most popular cars. With these cars you know they are being produced in substantial volumes and actually selling to customers. Our full list of battery electric vehicles follows below these top 16 sales leaders.

Vehicle base prices and specs were as of about February 1, 2023. Since then prices have changed drastically, and prices and specs vary greatly with trim levels and options, so these prices should only be used as a very rough guideline. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to banks quite a lot (to slow down the economy and thereby lower inflation), which has driven up auto loan interest rates, so that's bad for getting a new car. On the other hand, supplies of EVs have increased and manufacturers have been forced to drop prices to move inventory, sometimes by over $10,000, so that's good for getting a new car.
The Inflation Reduction Act has made most North American made EVs eligible for a $3,750 or $7,500 tax credit (depending on qualifications, check details), and Oregon has rebates ranging from $2,500 to $7,500 (again depending on qualifications, check details).
EVs are getting better and more affordable than ever!
