The EV revolution is now well underway, and more manufacturers than ever are entering the fray. EVs come in all shapes and sizes, but one particularly competitive and still emerging field is the electric SUV. Currently, SUVs are some of the most popular cars on the market, taking double-digit percentages of market share off traditional body styles such as the sedan.

So, if manufacturers want a shot at the big bucks, it's imperative that they get their electric SUV offerings right. Many more models are planned to arrive in the near future, but even when buying a 2021 model, there's still plenty of choice in the sector. Let's round up ten of the best EV options currently out there, from budget SUVs right up to the luxury models that can cost over $100,000.

10 Tesla Model Y

The Model Y is the newest of Tesla's models, and it's their smaller SUV that sits below the Model X. Despite having some worrying initial quality issues, the Model Y is generally a very good car, with the usual blistering Tesla performance on higher trims.

Starting around $42,000 for the Standard Range, the car comes with a lot of tech features for the money, plus there's access to Tesla's Supercharger network for more convenient long-range driving than rival SUVs. Tesla may still be a fairly new player in the auto industry, but they've proved themselves to be a serious contender even now that many traditional automakers are launching their electric cars.

9 Jaguar I-Pace

Although they're in the midst of a big lineup reshuffle, Jaguar still have a solid range of cars out right now. Their electric SUV offering is the I-Pace, a uniquely-designed car with rapid acceleration and a deceptively large cabin. Originally launching in 2018, it was one of the first real rivals to Tesla's SUVs, even if it didn't draw the attention or sales figures of Elon Musk's offerings.

Prices start around $70,000, which is a bit steep, especially considering the Tesla Model Y now starts nearly $30,000 cheaper. Also, several reviewers have tested the car's range and found it to be significantly less than the 246 miles that Jaguar claims. Still, overall the I-Pace is a solid contender and one that deserves more attention than it gets.

8 Kia Niro

It's great having a car with impressive performance, but many buyers with tighter budgets aren't going to be able to afford the $50,000+ it costs for a new sporty EV. That's where the Kia Niro comes in: it starts at just $25,865, although it's often possible to negotiate a discount off the MSRP.

That means, with the right dealer incentives, a new Niro can be bought for under $25k, which opens up a whole new demographic of buyers to the electric SUV sector. Sure, it's not the most exciting car to drive or even to look at, but for the price it doesn't need to be.

7 Volvo XC40 Recharge

A brand as safety conscious as Volvo was always going to engineer some extra protection into its new products, and true to form the XC40 electric SUV has the full suite of drivers assists and features. It's a fairly small SUV by class standards, so buyers will lose out on interior space compared to other rivals.

It does handle well however, and the upgraded powertrains feel brisk, if never quite fast. Instead, the XC40 is best for those who want a safe, refined EV with an understated presence. A 4 year or 50,000 mile warranty is also included with a purchase for peace of mind. The car starts at $34,795, but the more powerful trims will add on a significant extra cost.

6 Chevrolet Bolt EUV

Simple, straightforward and proud of it, the Chevy Bolt EUV focuses on just getting the job done. The EUV is a reworking of the old Bolt's shape for buyers who prefer the upright position and higher ride height of an SUV, and there's now more room in the back too.

Its fast charging feature allows it to replenish around 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes, which is more than enough for most commutes. The main downside with the Bolt is that it's quite pricey, getting close to $40,000 despite looking very much like, well, a boring Chevy crossover.

5 Hyundai Kona

Another cheap SUV from the Kia-Hyundai stable, the Kona is one of the best handling SUVs in the budget EV sector. Much like the Kia Niro, its performance isn't very inspiring, but it gets the job done and it's even cheaper than many standard ICE cars.

The newly-redesigned exterior looks better than the old generation, although the weird headlight setup will still likely put some buyers off. Top-spec models actually come with 204 hp, which means although the Kona won't be fast, it'll be quick enough to keep up with most everyday vehicles both on the highway and off it.

4 Audi e-tron

It might have slipped under the radar of most buyers, but the e-tron is a premium EV that's as luxurious and stylish as the rest of Audi's range. It starts at $66,695, which puts it in the middle price bracket for a luxury SUV.

The cabin is a real selling point for the e-tron, with the smart design and premium materials that buyers expect from the German brand. The car also posts some of the best fast charging times in the segment, although overall range is slightly shorter than many rivals at just 218 miles. Reports suggest real-world mileage is even lower than that, perhaps up to 30% less.

3 Tesla Model X

It's probably the most well-known electric SUV, and it's a sales success too, as anyone living in the more affluent parts of California can attest. The Model X draws a lot of attention to itself, in part due to its impressive performance numbers and also thanks to its striking gullwing doors.

It is expensive, with prices starting at around $90,000 and going up to $145,000 for a fully-loaded Plaid spec car. But, for those with the money to spend, it's hard to argue with the Model X as an option. Just watch those fancy doors on low roofs and side walls.

2 VW ID.4

VW's focus has been to produce an EV that will be able to drive big sales numbers, and given the market at the moment, the only way to do that is to make an SUV. The result is the ID.4, which is based on the brand's new modular EV structure. A lot of expectation has been placed on the launch of the new ID range, with some even calling it as important as the launch of the original Beetle.

Whether that's true is up for debate, but even so the ID line is critical to VW maintaining its status as one of the world's biggest manufacturers. On first impressions, it seems like they've done a good job, as the ID.4 is an all-round very competent car, even if it lacks the headline-grabbing gimmicks of some of its rivals. Whether that sensibility and restraint translates to big sales numbers for the ID.4 remains to be seen.

1 Ford Mustang Mach-E

While the idea of slapping a Mustang badge on an electric SUV was unfathomable for some when it was first announced, most enthusiasts have made their peace with the idea. The Mach-E does indeed continue the performance ethos of the Mustang, even if it's in a significantly different way to what car fans are used to seeing from the nameplate.

It's fast for an SUV, with a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 13.4 seconds in top trim. That puts it almost on par with the 2.3L regular Mustang, which beats it to 60 by just 0.1 seconds. The Mach-E might continue to infuriate purists who hate the idea of a pony badge on an SUV, but the truth is, love it or loathe it, the Mach-E is seemingly here to stay.
