Interesting seeing the increase over time. Cribbed from the article, top 3 in 2026 in terms of longest range with the lowest cost (miles per $1k) are:
Nissan Leaf - 303 mi. / $31,500 = 9.6
Chevrolet Equinox EV - 319 mi. / $36,800 = 8.7
Subaru Uncharted - 308 mi. / $36,400 = 8.5
At 250mi for the Bolt EUV, I usually don’t get range anxiety outside of road trips but having driven my relative’s Equinox EV extensively, I can say that the extra 70 miles is really nice.
In a few years, I’d just want 350+ range at a reasonable price. Everything else is just window dressing.
Yeah it’s not looking too good at the moment. Telo is another EV startup and they’re shooting for a 350mi model at $46k which would be 7.6.
Hoping battery tech advances or continues to get cheaper at scale. Ford is supposedly working on an affordable EV platform but still too early to tell.

Making up prices, but:
Slate EV- 150 mi. / $25,000 = 6
Slate long range - 240 mi. / $30,000 = 8
That’s not awesome

Otherwise, a used EV might be the way to go.
I’m still really worried about whether Telo will last. Slate at least has better financial backing.
And yeah, I hope Ford makes an EV Ranger and hopefully Maverick on their new platform.
