List of affordable fuel-efficient cars

Affordable electric vehicles that don't guzzle gas or your wallet


Tesla isn't the only option for a sleek looking electric vehicle. Here's a list of electric vehicles under $30,000:


1. 2016 Ford Focus- MSRP from $17,225


With 30 MPG city and 40 MPG highway, the Focus comes with 350hp and a bang for its buck. Some of its main features are parking assist- hands free parallel parking, voice-activated technology, a rearview camera, and MyKey to help you track your keys if they have been stolen/lost. Available in sedan or hatchback style.


2. 2016 Chevrolet Spark EV- MSRP from $25,120


The Spark comes with a 19 kWh lithium-ion battery that can last up to 82 miles. It's equipped with the standard specs needed for tire pressure, air bags, etc. But it includes Hill start assist and a control system called Break assist for extra safety. 


3. 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf- MSRP from $28,995


Inheriting the excellence of its gas-powered sibling, the e-Golf zaps its way through a growing field of affordable EVs. The e-Golf utilizes a 134-hp 100-kWh electric motor powered by a 35.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. The EPA estimates 125 miles of range on a single charge; fuel economy is rated at a combined 119 MPGe. An onboard charger is standard equipment. Novel packaging of the battery components avoids reducing passenger space; options include automated emergency braking and parking assist.


4. 2017 Hyundai Ioniq EV- MSRP from $29,500


Good news California residents, the Ioniq EV is only available to you. It comes in three options- hybrid, electric, and hybrid plug-in. Ioniq comes standard with a power tilt-and-slide sunroof, heated front seats and more.
