Presenting the Cars.com Best Electric Vehicle of 2022 Award nominees.

<v Narrator>The Cars.com Best of 2022 Awards highlight our editor's picks for the best cars of the year. The nominees for the Cars.com Best Electric Vehicle of 2022 Award are the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Tesla Model Y, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge.

In addition to overall excellence, we pay extra attention to aspects with which many EVs stumble, such as ride quality and charging speed. Drawing inspiration from an iconic name plate, the Ford Mustang Mach-E is a five-seat, four-door SUV with ample interior space that strikes at the heart of the booming EV SUV market. The Tesla Model Y combines a long driving range with impressive performance, and jumps ahead of many competitors thanks to Tesla's massive headstart. The Volvo XC40 Recharge builds off the original gas-only version of the XC40, and it does one thing many other EVs don't, it rides well. Find out which car takes home the Best Electric Vehicle of 2022 Award on February 21st.
