Rivian R1S
Although there are a number of electric SUVs on sale today, there are only a few such models available with three rows of seating. The Rivian R1S is one such option. No, it’s not quite as efficient as, say, the Tesla Model X, but with a starting sum just a little north of $75,000, the R1S undercuts the base price of the big Tesla SUV by approximately $5000.

Rivian R1T
Complementing the Rivian R1S SUV is the company’s R1T pickup truck. Like its SUV counterpart, the R1T comes standard with a 135.0-kWh battery pack. A larger capacity 149.0-kWh battery pack nets north of 400 miles of estimated range, but adds close to $20,000 to the bill.

- EPA combined range: 352 miles*

Rolls-Royce Spectre
Rolls-Royce breaks into the EV set with the massive and lavish Spectre coupe. Power comes courtesy of a pair of electric motors that are good for a combined 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, sums that help the large two-door reach 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Inside, it’s as opulent and quiet as you’d expect of a car with the Spirit of Ecstasy perched on its hood.
- Base price: $422,750
- EPA fuel economy, combined/city/highway: 81/77/86 MPGe
- EPA combined range: 291 miles
Subaru Solterra
Subaru’s entry into the EV space is the Solterra SUV, a vehicle that Subaru developed jointly with Toyota (Toyota’s version of this vehicle is called the bZ4X). The Solterra looks appropriately rugged with bulging plastic wheel arches. All-wheel drive is standard, but unlike other all-wheel-drive EVs, the Solterra isn’t particularly quick. It’s also not particularly generous with driving range either, with the EPA rating it at up to 227 miles per charge.
