Other rankings
Cars on sale in the US with EPA-rated range, newest model year only, each model once under its best trim for this list. Chinese- and European-market cars rated on CLTC or WLTP are left out because those tests aren't comparable. Prices and charging times are estimates; check with the manufacturer before buying.
