Bloomberg Green’s Electric Car Ratings

The Right EV for you
US ratings UK ratings

Published: | Updated:

The electric car revolution is picking up speed. As automakers pledge to kick their gasoline habit entirely, they have launched dozens of electric models — and dozens more will be rolled out by the end of 2025. Bloomberg Green’s EV ratings dashboard catalogues the models currently available in the US. Along with car specs, we also have come up with a Green rating for each model, based on how efficiently the cars travel once on the road and the resources needed to manufacture the batteries in those cars.

Who’s got the most green power?

The Green rating for each car is a weighted score of its ( range ÷ curb weight ) + battery size , on a scale from 0–100 (100 is the highest/best rating). See full methodology

Comparison shopping: Do more expensive electric cars have a longer range?

Longer-range electric cars tend to be more expensive, but more expensive EVs don’t always have a longer range — some are just fancier models. The longest-range EV in the US is the Lucid Air, which maxes out at 516 miles and $179,000. Other long-range models include the Hyundai Ioniq 6, the Mercedes EQS and the GMC Hummer.
