The 25 Best Electric Cars of 2023

The future is here, and as much as we’d like to say that traditional cars still have a fighting chance, they appear to be battling an unstoppable force which is slowly yet surely picking up speed, squandering the competition with each new release on the market.

What is this future that we speak of? Obviously, we’re talking about the “going green” initiative, also known as the electric car craze that has been on the rise ever since the first model hit the scene.

Leaving aside anyone’s opinion on this trend and whatnot, the truth is that it appears as though electric cars are the future, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Luckily however, the future is looking brighter than ever before because of how amazing the new electric cars are.

We were a bit skeptical at first but things are definitely looking up, and we’re here to showcase this fact by displaying to you the 25 best electric cars out there as of 2022.

So, let’s not waste anymore time and just jump right into our number 25 spot of the day:

25. Mini Cooper Electric

The Mini Cooper is one of those cars that you either love with all your heart or are just sick of seeing it everywhere. Regardless, you have to admit it that the mere thought of making an electric version of it is appealing to say the least.

But, did they do a good job with it? From our honest opinion, they absolutely nailed it.

24. Chevrolet Bolt EV

This right here is one of the most popular electric cars on the market and for good reason too.

Despite its relatively high price tag, it managed to do the impossible, Chevrolet managing to make an even more sporty looking car than most other manufacturers out there have been doing for so long now.

23. Opel Corsa-E

Opel are known for making some incredible budget friendly cars but they finally decided to give in and completely outdo their competition by bringing in this incredible zero-emissions all-electric vehicle that has completely taken the world by storm.

22. Volkswagen ID.4

We couldn’t talk about the best electric cars out there without also mentioning the winner of the 2021 Car of the Year Award now, couldn’t we?

21. Seat Cupra Born

The plan was simple for Seat, they wanted to get into the electric car industry but they had no platform to stand on to get to it. This is why they decided to borrow VW’s ID.3 platform and work off of that.

In the process they managed to make an even more powerful car than VW could in the past, and they didn’t stop there as they also brought in a ton of extra features that we wish more cars had nowadays.

20. NIO ET7

The ET7 instantly hits everyone with that “futuristic look” that so many of us wish we could drive around in nowadays.

They promised to offer 1,080hp and a 2,950ft-lb power output, going from 0 to 60mph in under 2.5 seconds and that’s without even mentioning the incredible top speed of up to 170mph in total.

18. Karma GS-6

Karma have already managed to change up the game as we know it after releasing the insane SC2 Hypercar, the fastest electric car of all time.

But, with this new release they decided to change things around slightly by going for a more affordable and useful car that can still look like a hypercar despite not actually being one. Did they succeed? You decide.

17. Mercedes EQS

So, what was already one of the top tier cars of all time and one of Ford’s bestsellers up to date has now been adapted for the electric car market, who could ask for more?

15. Lotus Evija

Sure, most electric cars out there are pretty sluggish and slow, but not this one, the Lotus Evija is so powerful in fact that it can even rival some of the titans in the industry that have stepped up the bar so high up over the years and that’s a fact.

It’s all thanks to the hybrid powertrains that this car has got that really allowed it to keep its power so high up while also going for an all-electric build.

It’s also extremely stylish, with its butterfly doors and its overly muscular curves and aerodynamic design choice.

11. Jaguar I-Pace

While we definitely love the typical electric car look, we do have to say that it can get old quite fast seeing the same modern look to every car out there.

But, how do you actually make a useful vehicle in this day and age? Simple, you make it a pickup truck.

It looks modern, it looks powerful, and it’s full of strange upgrades that we have always wanted on our car but we never got around to it.

We’re talking about that slick sporty silhouette, that beautifully quiet engine and of course, can’t forget about those butterfly doors that always get people going.

7. Tesla Cybertruck

While definitely quite strange to say the least, the Cybertruck is one powerful machine that can really turn heads around when you’re driving past them.

It’s by far the strangest and most futuristic car we’ve ever seen, and while it has the properties of an ordinary pickup truck, people will never associate it with that simply because of how it looks.

But don’t worry because it’s not just all talk either, it’s one of the toughest cars you’ll ever see on the market and on top of that it also offers a driving range of over 500 miles making this one of the most useful cars on this list.

It can go from 0-60mph in just 3 seconds, and considering its incredible 700 horsepower, you won’t be getting stuck in the mud anytime soon using this beauty.

5. Tesla Model X

Size does matter, as Elon Musk demonstrated time and time again with his incredible lineup of cars. He stated that while electric cars can be pretty fast even without the size to match up for it, sometimes we’re specifically looking for a four-wheel monster that can make us feel like giants on the road and this model more than made up for it.

It is a very powerful car and also one of their largest up to date, just look at how massive it is in comparison to old Elon right there.

4. BMW iX3

While size definitely matters, we’re not here to discriminate against anyone that prefers a smaller car. Which is why for our fourth place we have in store for you this model right here, one that we would argue is the best midsize electric car out there as of 2022.

On top of that this is obviously meant to be a luxury car and that’s pretty apparent after seeing just a picture or two of one out there.

3. BMW i4

But hey, sometimes what you’re looking for isn’t a large nor a mid-size car but a small vehicle that you can easily drive around with around town and find a parking spot in no time.

Well, if that sounds like a good idea for you then BMW have got you covered as this is by far their slimmest and most compact electric car up to date.

2. Tesla Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S has been arguably one of the most talked about electric cars of all time simply because it incorporates everything that we could ever ask for from an electric car and more.

It is powerful, quite a lot more powerful than most vehicles out there electric or not, and on top of that it also has an insanely good acceleration speed which makes it able to go from 0-60mph in less than 2 seconds.

Perfection is an understatement when it comes to this beast, it has an 800-V system attached to it and an incredible acceleration capable of going from 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds.

On top of that it can reach 162mph or 260kmph, so you can easily travel long distances with this without fearing that you won’t get to your destination in time.
