The 15 Cheapest EVs You Can Buy in the U.S.

Base Range: 232 miles

The EV6 is the only car on our list that cracks the $50,000 mark when you include inflation. That means there are currently 14 EVs for sale that cost less than $50K. Not too shabby, folks. Not too shabby.

Base Range: 246 miles

The Mach-E is a real bargain if you’re super into pissing offer boomers who don’t think this is a real Mustang. (It is).

Base Range: 228 miles

Want an EV but also like Patagonia and dogs? The Solterra is the vehicle for you. Standard all-wheel drive means you can keep going even when the going gets nasty.

Base Range: 272 miles

With its latest price cut, the Model 3 has actually become something of a deal. However, options will quickly add up if you spring for them.

Base Range: 216 miles

The Ariya is cool, but what I really wish Nissan did was put out an EV version of the 2004 Nissan Murano in that sick-ass copper color. That would be the coolest thing ever, man.

Base Range: 252 miles

Silly name, silly plastic cladding, decent range.

Base Range: 220 miles

I just love the way the Ioniq 5 looks so much. If you compare it to its platform sibling, the EV6, it’s a bit of a deal as well. For about $7,500 less, you get a similar car with a little less range.

Base Range: 253 miles

The Niro has recently been redesigned, and it looks absolutely fantastic to me. It’s probably not for everyone, but in my eyes it just works.

Base Range: 209 miles

This isn’t a bad value if you can look past the not-very-good infotainment system. Other than that, the ID.4 is solid all round.

Base Range: 100 miles

You would have to be very committed to the Mazda bit if you buy a MX-30 over a different car on this list.

Base Range: 114 miles

Despite the fact the Cooper SE has fewer doors than every vehicle on this list, it is not the cheapest. Strange.

Base Range: 258 miles

Here we have the cheapest car on this list that isn’t on a dedicated EV platform. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but ya should knw.

Base Range: 149 miles

The Leaf was really at the forefront of the first generation of EVs all those years ago. Today, it’s still quite a deal.

Base Range: 247 miles

The Bolt EUV is a neat little package. I just wish its name made more sense, but hey. I’ll take what I can get.

Base Range: 259 miles

If you want an EV and you’re on a budget, there’s really no way to go wrong with the Bolt EV. It’s bringing electric power to the masses, and for that we salute it.
