Car & Driver’s list of the 10 Best Cars for 2017 only includes one electric vehicle, and that’s the Chevrolet Bolt.
The Bolt isn’t an excuse-free electric car, but it earns its place on the 10Best list by being the one that comes closest to rebutting two of the biggest criticisms that have been levied against the genre: expense and range.
In the article on Car and Driver it’s noted that Tesla refused to supply them with a Model S to compare the cars to.
In regards to range, Car & Driver says they pretty much ‘whaled on it’ and could still expect 180 miles from each e-tank.
There is also a 93 mph speed limiter.
Here’s the other 10 cars on the list:
- 2017 BMW M240i
- 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
- 2017 Chevrolet Camaro
- 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 / GT350R
- 2017 Honda Accord
- 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata
- 2017 Mazda 3
- 2017 Porsche Boxster / Cayman
- 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
