WhichEV

If you are trying to decide if an EV is right for you, or are not sure what kind of EV to choose, here are some guidelines.

The first thing to do is to determine how far you really drive each day. It's easy to do but most people greatly overestimate how far they drive. If your car has a trip meter then just set it before starting out in the morning then check how far you have driven when you get home at night. If your car doesn't have a trip meter just note the mileage from the odometer. Do this for a week or so and look at the maximum mileage that you did. That will give you a good idea of the reliable range your EV will need.

Below is a table of vehicles that are described on this web site. First look up the range in the vehicle summary column to see if that vehicle will fit your needs. Check the status in the availability column to make sure the car is currently being sold then check flags in the Where sold column will tell you if the car is being sold in your country. To get more information about the vehicle, and to find dealer information just click on the picture.

At the bottom of this page is summary table that might give you some pointers to get you started.

Please note this page is under construction and I would love to get some feedback so please email evfinder and tell what you think about this page.

I have tried to be somewhat conservative on the numbers above because there are many factors that effect EV range such as driving in hilly areas, the ambient temperature, or the way that you drive. The numbers above should be taken as a guideline. I believe these ranges will give a more reliable idea for daily operation than relying on the often overblown range claims of the various manufacturers.

I attempt to keep the information here as current as possible but I would appreciate being notified of any inaccuracies you may find. The appearance of a vehicle on this site does not imply any endorsement of that vehicle, or any implication that the vehicle will be suitable for your needs. As always you should investigate the vehicle and the seller before shelling out your hard earned money.
