Here are the top electric and hybrid cars of 2024

Sales of electric vehicles have been making huge strides since 2020.

Last year alone, sales of electric vehicles rose by 60% year-on-year, according to MarketWatch data.

And as more companies meet the demand for environmentally friendly vehicles, some electric and hybrid vehicles are standing out among the rest.

US News and World Report – the recognized authority on standards and consumer advice – came out with its list of the best hybrid and electric cars for 2024.

For the third year in a row, the 2024 Lucid Air took first place for best electric luxury car.

Best non-luxury electric car went to the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6.

Hyundai led with the most awards, also winning best electric SUV, with the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and best hybrid SUV, with the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.

Best hybrid car went to the 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid, and the 2024 Lexus NX Hybrid was crowned best luxury hybrid.

Notably absent from the list of winners was Tesla, which is interesting due to its popularity in the United States

Tesla made up more than half of the electric vehicle market share in the United States between January and October last year, with 56.3%, according to MarketWatch. Hyundai, on the other hand, made up only 4.8% of the electric vehicle market share.

For its rankings, US News evaluated 96 luxury and affordable electric and hybrid cars, trucks and SUVs for quality, efficiency and value.
