Ten Best Electric Vehicle Deals

Chevrolet Bolt EV parked

One of the new features we just released is called value score. Value aims to address the best electric vehicle deals. Our value score looks at over 40 data dimensions across seven categories to rank and determines the best deals for your money. Our information covers the following:

The closer a value score is to 100, the better deal you are getting on a specific electric vehicle model. Our value score may change depending on where you live, as electricity and insurance costs vary nationwide. For our rankings, we used California, the largest EV market. Go to Electric Driver and look up electric cars to find the best deals in your location. Also, note that we do not apply the tax credit cost to our value calculation, as not everyone may qualify.

Electric Car Best Deals Top Ten Ranking

Our top ten rankings are based on the best available model trim. So if there is a Tesla Model S and Model S Plaid, we will only show the best deal of the two trims.
