TCC’s Bottom Line

Eclipsed by the Chevrolet Bolt EV's 200-mile-plus range, the Nissan Leaf is best enjoyed with the substantial discounts dealers are eager to offer.

The 2017 Toyota Mirai sedan has polarizing styling, seats only four, has little acceleration at highway speeds, and can be fueled only in limited regions; while Toyota says it's the future, potential buyers may want to wait and see.

TCC Likes

Big discounts easy to find
Distinctively designed
Silent operation

Water is only emission
Quiet electric power
Longer range than electric cars

TCC Dislikes

Poor safety scores
Range falls notably in cold weather
Chevrolet Bolt EV is only slightly pricier but offers far better range

Frankly, it's ugly
Limited fueling stations
Sold only in California
