TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Chevrolet Volt is an accomplished and refined extended-range electric car that makes an ideal everyday commuter.

With a plug-in hybrid joining hybrid and electric versions, the 2018 Hyundai Ioniq normalizes green powertrains: it’s relatively fun to drive, and doesn’t look strange.

TCC Likes

53 mile electric range
Silent and smooth operation
Blends in with the crowd

Hybrid, electric, now plug-in hybrid too
Restrained, “normal” design
Excellent, intuitive controls

TCC Dislikes

Blends in with the crowd
Five seats? No way
3.6-kw charger is slow

Not as roomy as Leaf or Prius
Battery cuts cargo space in EV model
Volt has twice the plug-in range
