Ranked by base MSRP from lowest to highest
The most affordable electric cars on sale in 2026, ranked by their base price. Range, power, and battery figures are included so you can see what you actually get for the money.
Base MSRP is only the starting point. The cheapest trim of a car is often stripped of options like a bigger battery, a heat pump, or a driver-assist package that pricier trims include as standard — so compare the specific configuration, not just the badge on the price list.
Entry-level EVs also tend to have smaller batteries, and therefore shorter range, slower DC charging, and less power than costlier trims of the same model. Before buying on price alone, check whether the range and charging speed still fit how you actually drive.
