Top 9 Electric Cars

Model Y

the Model Y Long Range needed just 4.8 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill. And despite being equipped with all-season tires, which are typically designed more for wear resistance than road grip, our test vehicle managed a very impressive stopping distance from 60 mph of just 112 feet. Both of those numbers are better than we expected and impressive for the EV segment.

Steering and handling are also laudable despite the Model Y’s weight. The steering feels light and is quick to respond to inputs, giving you a sense of control and connection through a corner. There’s minimal body roll too, especially for an SUV.

In-town drivability is excellent. Seasoned EV drivers will appreciate the adjustable regenerative braking allows you to drive nearly exclusively using just the right pedal.

Model Y is good, but I like the car on the 2nd page most, because it’s the first semi-solid battery EV with over 500 miles of range.
