team has come up with 5 electric vehicles that are our finalists or nominees for this year’s award, but voters —— get to choose the winner. Before we get to the models and voting, though, let’s run through the rules.
The main aim is to pick the the vehicle that we expect to have the largest net positive impact on the world. That can mean the electric vehicle that is expected to get the most sales and thus replace the most fossil fueled vehicles, or it can mean that we think the vehicle is transformative and will influence the auto industry beyond simply sales. It’s your call to decide which of the finalists you think will have the most impact.
In terms of candidates, the models have to arrive on the market in the last two quarters of the previous year or the first two quarters of the award year .The Chevy Bolt EV has long been on the market, but the Chevy Bolt EUV brings that all-popular small-SUV/crossover appeal. It’s also one of the most affordable long-range electric cars on the market. It has a starting MSRP of just $27,200! That’s with an EPA-estimated driving range of 247 miles .
How is there no Teslas there ?
