Top Electric Cars

10. Chevrolet Spark EV

The Chevrolet Spark EV improves on the standard gasoline powered Spark. The electric motor and 1-speed direct-drive transmission make a great pair, producing 141 horsepower and an EPA estimated 128 mpge. The range of the Chevrolet Spark EV is estimated at 82 miles for a full charge. The battery packs are well hidden due to Chevy redesigning the structure of the vehicle, so no cargo space is lost to battery packs taking up room in the trunk. Recalibrated springs, dampers, and suspension components strive to make good on Chevy’s promise that the Spark EV is “fun to drive,”which it is. The handling is balanced and responsive, with the steering a little better than its gas powered cousin. The Chevrolet Spark EV is definitely one of the best examples of a gasoline model converted to an EV, and other car manufacturers could learn from Chevy’s success.
