As we announced at the start of the week, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Lucid Air, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Rivian R1T, and Volkswagen ID.4 are this year’s finalists for Green Car Reports’ Best Car To Buy 2022.

As we announced at the start of the week, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Lucid Air, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Rivian R1T, and Volkswagen ID.4 are this year’s finalists for Green Car Reports’ Best Car To Buy 2022.

Which new green car is the best? Each December we ask this question in earnest, first making a list of all the electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that arrive by the end of the calendar year, and you can buy early the following year. Now, that’s looking at 2022. As we’ve asserted for years, backstopped by a range of peer-reviewed... 
A Mustang as the most important new green car of the year? That might have been our reaction prior to the past few weeks. Ever since our editors started jockeying for first-drive opportunities with the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, it’s beelined to become our unanimous winner. And yet simultaneously, we all seem a bit surprised that it’s... 
The idea of applying the Mustang’s pony car heritage to Ford’s first widely available electric vehicle, the Mach-E, might seem like sacrilege to some, or the smartest product decision of the decade to others. Whether you come out on either side of that, or somewhere in the middle like us, the Mustang Mach-E takes electric cars... 
Over the past ten years, the green-car landscape has made progress in fits and starts. Since the 2011 Nissan Leaf that we named our original Best Car To Buy—rated at just 73 miles—electric cars have evolved rapidly. In 2020, Tesla rolled out range boosts for all of its models—including a 402-mile Model S. Lucid announced a model... 
Earlier this month marked the 10th anniversary of the U.S. arrival of the Nissan Leaf. The Leaf was our first pick for Best Car To Buy, in 2010 for the 2011 model year. And as we look ahead to our 11th Best Car To Buy pick, for the 2021 model year, we thought it would be worthwhile not to just sum up the previous winners but to revisit the... 
Volvo’s vehicles have for years been unified around a mantra of safety and longevity, and Scandinavian design themes that are stylish and confident but not too over-the-top. The brand’s first electric vehicle, the Volvo XC40 Recharge, is a finalist for Green Car Reports’ Best Car To Buy 2021. It shows all the signs of carrying...

Take a performance heritage, a focus on sustainability, Swedish engineering at the core, and an interface that’s all about “Hey Google,” and you’ll end up with a beeline to the Polestar 2. The Polestar 2 is probably the closest comparison to the Tesla Model 3 yet—although probably to the delight of many, it’s a... 
A series of pandemic-related delays means that we close 2020 without as many new fully electric models on the market as we anticipated at the beginning of the year. But with the Model Y, Tesla pushed on with production, into the eye of the pandemic—to much controversy—and managed both to roll out the Model Y early and ramp up its...
