Electric vehicles keep getting more affordable as more accessible federal tax credits, increased model variety and competition from ever-cheaper used EVs put them within reach of more people than ever before. Some budget-minded shoppers prefer the peace of mind of a new car, though, where they know exactly how old the battery is, how the car has been used and even whose cup had a leak in the passenger-side cupholder. (It wasn’t me!) That’s why we compiled this list: to show that you don’t have to option a car up to the nines to get a usable range.

The average list price of a new EV on Cars.com in September 2024 was $62,290, which seems stiff compared to the $49,154 overall new-car average. That figure can be misleading, though, as there is a higher proportion of expensive luxury cars among EVs than there is with gas-powered models. Moreover, list prices don’t take into account federal tax credits, which range from $3,750 to $7,500 and can now be applied toward the price of a new EV at the time of purchase.

We put together this chart to show the wide variety of EVs on sale today, which range from commuter hatchbacks like the $29,280 Nissan Leaf to performance luxury sedans like the $148,595 Audi RS E-Tron GT. You can sort this chart by body style to compare entry-level versions of the type of vehicle you’re considering.

All prices in the chart include both MSRP and destination fees. Range estimates are per the EPA unless otherwise noted.

This list only shows the range of the least expensive version of each car, but it goes to show that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a usable range. You can upgrade some of these cars with a larger battery for more range and still keep it affordable, but for many drivers, the base trim level is more than enough to at least cover daily commuting.

Some of the most expensive cars on this list have shorter ranges than far more affordable fare. Multiple-motor all-wheel-drive EVs often use more power than single-motor front- or rear-wheel-drive models, and many pricier EVs are tuned more for performance than efficiency. Sometimes the longest-range version turns out to be a single-motor base trim.
