New electric vehicles are heading to the market as fast as automakers can create them. The next five years should be extremely interesting as most models offered will include all-electric alternatives. Brands without ICE alternatives will offer electric vehicles built on entirely new platforms. These are five of the top-rated electric vehicles offered. Those that made the top five have something in common; let’s find out what that is.
