Top 10 mass-market electric cars ranked by J.D. Power in 2024

Electric vehicle sales were stronger than ever last year, but automakers have work to do before they’re out of the woods with the relatively new propulsion technology. J.D. Power found that charging remains a significant issue for EV owners and noted that the experience is getting worse. Its 2024 Electric Vehicle Experience Ownership Study also ranked the premium and mass-market electric vehicles with the best experience, rating the Mini Cooper Electric (note that a new version is right around the corner) as its top choice among mainstream vehicles.

J.D. Power says "the overall EVX ownership index score measures electric vehicle owner satisfaction" and "includes 10 factors (in alphabetical order): accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability."
