The Best Electric Cars of 2019

A decade ago, electric cars were little more than a joke. But today, major automotive manufacturers are getting in on this growing, environmentally friendly market.

Here are the 12 best electric cars of the year…

Audi E-Tron 2019

You can generally trust an Audi to be a solid investment. These cars run well and require little maintenance. So the prospect of an electric SUV Audi is tantalizing, especially considering the level of care and attention that went into its creation.

The E-Tron SUV originally had a late 2018 release planned, but it was pushed back to this year to make sure the car had an extra level of polish.

Fearsome Yet Flawed

Despite having a sizeable 95 kWh battery, this car is big, bulky and heavy, and that means that it’s not quite as efficient as other, smaller electric cars. This is the price you pay for a larger, meatier SUV, and those in the market for this gorgeous vehicle know that going in.

If you’re salivating over this one, it’s probably because a chunky electric Audi is exactly what you dream about driving.

Porsche Taycan

Electric cars have a reputation for being slow both in terms of their road speed and their charging times.

The Porsche Taycan is here to shatter that illusion, boasting top speeds of up to 300 mph (depending on which version you opt for), as well as premium 800-volt charging that allows for faster refueling than the majority of other electric cars.

You Get What You Pay For

Obviously, the big sticking point for a Porsche is the price. This isn’t a car that’s designed with families in mind, and unless you’ve got a spare $100,000 at your disposal, you probably won’t be adding the Taycan to your collection. But it can still offer you hope for the future.

New tech in this luxury sports car will eventually filter down into more affordable models.
