The i3 is an all-electric car with a range of up to 160 miles. It’s powered by a 170-horsepower electric motor and has a top speed of 93 mph. The i3 starts at $44,500.

The car was designed for urban areas, so it has a very short range and charges quickly—between four to eight hours with a 240-volt charger. The battery can be swapped out for up to $1,000 if you’re ready to upgrade. BMW also offers an optional range extender that runs on gasoline and powers an electric generator to extend your i3’s range by up to 80 miles. As an all-electric vehicle, there are no tailpipe emissions, which is good news for people who live in areas with high smog levels.

i-Miev – Mitsubishi

With a low purchase price and efficient design, this car could become one of the best options for people looking to save money on their commute.  In addition, this model comes with an eight-year warranty! The Hyundai Ioniq EV is definitely worth waiting for. It’s affordable, has a long battery life, and has a great range. Plus, it doesn’t sacrifice style or performance! With all these benefits, it’s easy to see why the Hyundai Ioniq EV tops our list of affordable electric cars you can expect in 2022.

Ford Focus Electric – Ford:

If you’re looking for something more traditional than an SUV or crossover utility vehicle, but still want access to the great range and quick charging capabilities then the Ford Focus Electric may be right up your alley. It’s no surprise that this car is one of the most affordable on our list at $30,000 MSRP before incentives.

The Focus Electric is surprisingly spacious inside with seating for five adults comfortably and cargo space capable of holding about as much as a Kia Soul. However, it’s not without its flaws–the Focus’ charge capacity maxes out at just 22 kWh so you’ll need to stop every other day if you drive a lot. It also lacks features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity which could really make things difficult when using GPS navigation apps that rely on these connections for traffic updates etcetera. Other than those minor shortcomings, this electric car offers a decent value proposition at $30k with enough range and charger speeds to suit most drivers’ needs.
