6 questions to help you find the best electric and plug-in vehicles for you

1. How many people do you need to carry, including the driver?

Sounds good. Almost all the cars here can carry at least 5 adults.

To carry 6 you need a larger SUV with three rows, or a minivan. This is a pretty popular segment of vehicles, but surprisngly there aren't so many electric or plug-in vehicles like this yet.

To carry 7 you need a larger SUV with three rows, or a minivan. This is a pretty popular segment of vehicles, but surprisngly there aren't so many electric or plug-in vehicles like this yet.

2. Can you charge at home or work?

While everyone's driving needs vary, a rule of thumb is that a fully electric vehicle needs to charge for 8 hours every 2-3 days. If you can do this at home or work, having a fully electric vehicle is best. If not, plug-in hybrids are the best bet. If you want to look at fully electric vehicles anyway, just switch this back to "Yup".

3. Do you need to take regular road trips (~150mi+) with this car?

For road trips in an electric vehicle, you will need to stop at a fast charger along the way. Most electric vehicles support some kind of fast-charging, but you still need to find chargers working and available along your route. This is possible in most electric vehicles, but only Tesla's Supercharger network is widely available nationwide and has reliable quality. You should primarily consider Teslas and plug-in hybrids. If you want to consider other electric vehicles, switch this back to "Nope".

4. How much does price factor in?

Sounds good. That limits your options, but not too much.

There aren't too many electric or plug-in options under $40K yet. The cheapest one and the best value by far is the Chevy Bolt, which also qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax incentive. It's just a little ugly :) The entry level Tesla Model 3 or Model Y would be the next step up.

5. Care what it looks like?
