Best EVs Under $40,000

Every electric vehicle under $40k MSRP, ranked by review score.

This ranking is generated from the EV Lineup database and refreshed periodically rather than hand-written, so it keeps up with the 87 models on file instead of going stale. Every electric vehicle under $40k MSRP, ranked by review score. As listed, prices on this list run from $8,720 to $37,750 and EPA range runs from 47 to 361 miles.

Every row links to the full spec sheet for that model, where you can see each trim's own price, range and performance. Prices are manufacturer starting prices (MSRP) in US dollars before taxes, fees and incentives; range is the EPA rating where one has been published. Confirm the final figures with the manufacturer or dealer.
