Over the past few years, electric cars have come a long way, and you are no longer restricted to a hatchback or electric sedan. However, the traditional three-box body style remains one of the most efficient and reliable. Sedans are cheap in comparison to SUVs or pickups, and their lower weight means they boast some of the best all-electric ranges. However, with luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW getting serious about their own EV models, this may be the future of performance vehicles, too. Here is our ranking of the best electric sedans of 2024.

Characteristics of Electric Sedans

Each type of car has its own inherent qualities that can work for or against its appeal. The best electric sedan should have more strengths than weaknesses, but these are the characteristics you can expect to find when you start looking to buy one.

What to Consider Before Buying an EV Sedan

Though there may be a wide range of electric sedans in 2022, many shoppers will still hesitate to buy them over a traditional ICE car or even a hybrid. This is because it takes several years to realize true savings on your monthly fuel fill over the higher initial price. Here are the pros and cons of buying/owning an electric sedan so that you can see if it’s the right choice for you right now.

Pros

Cons

FAQs

Is an electric sedan really worth it?

While EVs are becoming more affordable, they are still significantly more expensive than their gasoline-powered counterparts. That said, they are definitely worth it if you have the money. This is especially true if you take frequent short trips around town and have time to recharge in-between. Even a relatively cheap electric vehicle should have a range of around 300 miles to a full charge, while expensive models like the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and Lucid Air Dream can approach or exceed 500 miles Over the course of their life, though, they will save you a great deal in fuel costs.

What is the most reliable EV sedan car?

Electric vehicles may be more advanced, technologically speaking, but they are actually simpler machines than cars with an ICE. Since there are fewer moving parts, there are fewer things that can go wrong. That means that EVs are generally more reliable, but some models that top the list include the:- Nissan Leaf
- Kia Niro EV
- Chevrolet Bolt
- Tesla Model S

Is an electric sedan safer?

In the general sense of safety, EVs are no different front internal combustion vehicles. They are built in much the same way, which means structural integrity is almost identical. They may even be safer since they are often a little heavier than a regular car. This added weight leads to less internal force in the event of a crash. The fact that most electric vehicles get a veritable slew of advanced driver assists, even in their base configurations, is just an added bonus.
