TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric is hard to find in some U.S. markets, but it's one of the best affordable long-range electric vehicles. The 2021 Niro EV offers a roomy layout and a long driving range, but it might not add up to the stunning value elsewhere in the Kia lineup. The 2020 Nissan Leaf has outgrown its nerdy, commuter-car phase and steers now toward mainstream.
