What is the most reliable electric car?

I’m looking at the 2021 Tesla Model 3, the 2021 Nissan Leaf, and the 2021 Chevy Bolt. Reliability is a huge priority for me, as I commute far for work and my last car broke down way more often than I’d prefer. Can you help me narrow down my choices and help me choose the most reliable electric car?

Oh, man! No one wants to start out their workday dealing with car issues. I’m so glad you’re looking at these awesome choices for an electric car! It definitely looks like you’ve done your research, as the 2021
Chevy Bolt
EV was rated most reliable by our friends over at Consumer Reports. Here’s what we know about the most reliable electric car:
  • Drivers get to enjoy that hatchback life with a spacious cabin and cargo room for days.
  • Almost instant acceleration (we love some instant EV torque) and an impressive driving range of 259 miles.
  • Before federal tax credits, the base price starts at around $40,000.
  • Drivers get quick, accurate steering and firm brakes that connect to a sustainable regenerative braking system.
Though it may not be the coolest looking car, the 2021 Chevy Bolt is an EV you can count on. The electric hatchback also offers a slew of safety features and driver-assistance technologies to keep drivers out of harm’s way on the road.
Now that you’re on your way to owning an EV with high owner satisfaction, make sure you’re also satisfied with your car insurance coverage. Most of us are_ shocked_ when we discover how much we’re overpaying for our policy each month!
