Here are the top EVs eligible for government rebates in 2020

Hyundai IONIQ Electric

For those of you who don't know it yet, the Korean automaker has a three-tiered strategy for its little IONIQ, producing it as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full-on EV. In this case, the IONIQ Electric is the one that commands the highest purchase price, but it's also the only one that doesn't release any toxic fumes into the atmosphere thanks to its exclusively electric powertrain.

While it's true that Hyundai's representative in this niche doesn't give its users as much range as some rivals, it's worth noting that Hyundai improved this element of the car in 2020 with 274 km of range, That represents a generous increase over the 2019 model, which was limited to 200 km. But then, the base price also increased in 2020!

Base price without fees or taxes and before applicable government discounts: $41,499
