The 21 worst electric cars you can buy right now

A ranked bottom-of-the-pile list from a full EV market sweep is more useful than it might first appear — it tells you where the compromises are genuinely unacceptable, not just imperfect. The models that land here aren't necessarily cheap or obscure; some carry real brand names, which makes the result a useful corrective to marketing noise. Reading it alongside the top performers gives you a clearer map of where the EV market actually stands versus where manufacturers claim it does. If you're in the market, this is the shortlist to avoid before you build your shortlist to consider.
