Introducing Rankings on EVD2: A Smarter Way to Choose Your Next EV
Which EV is actually best for you?
What You'll Find in Rankings
The Rankings section brings together the most important ways to evaluate EVs in Canada, all in one place.
Longest Range EVs
See which vehicles go the distance, literally.
From premium models like the Lucid Air to mainstream options, this ranking shows you exactly how far each EV can travel on a single charge. Browse the full vehicle catalog to see specs for every EV tracked on EVD2.
Perfect for:
- Long-distance drivers
- Cottage trips
- Anyone with range anxiety
Most Affordable EVs
Price still matters, and this list makes it simple.
We rank the lowest MSRP EVs available (or coming soon) in Canada, before incentives.
Combine this with our incentives page and you'll quickly see how dramatically pricing changes depending on where you live.
Best Value EVs (Price per KM of Range)
This is where things get interesting.
Instead of looking at sticker price or range alone, this ranking answers a more useful question: how much are you paying for every kilometre of range?
It's one of the most practical ways to compare EVs apples to apples, and it often surfaces surprising winners.
The Standout Feature: EV vs Gas by Province
This is the feature we're most excited about.
Across Canada, the economics of driving electric vs gas aren't the same.
- Electricity costs vary by province
- Gas prices fluctuate significantly
- Incentives differ dramatically
- Driving costs change based on all of the above
That's why we built a provincial comparison map, so you can see where EVs are cheapest to operate, where gas still competes, and how your province impacts your decision.
This matters more than most people realize.
Studies consistently show that EVs already have lower total driving costs in most provinces, largely due to cheaper energy and lower maintenance. Factor in fuel savings alone and EV drivers can save thousands over time, thanks to more stable and lower electricity costs compared to gasoline.
But those savings aren't equal everywhere. That's exactly what this map is designed to surface.
Why This Matters
Buying an EV isn't just about specs anymore.
It's about:
- Cost per km
- Regional economics
- Incentives
- Real-world usage
The new Rankings section turns all of that into something simple: clear, data-driven decisions.
What's Next
This is just the beginning.
We're already working on:
- More advanced cost modeling
- Real-time pricing signals
- Personalized rankings based on your driving habits

Frequently Asked Questions
What rankings are available on EVD2? Five rankings: Longest Range EVs, Most Affordable EVs, Best Value (price per km of range), Rebate-Eligible EVs (under the $50,000 federal EVAP cap), and New EVs Coming to Canada. Each ranking pulls live data from our vehicle database and updates automatically as specs and pricing change.
How is "Best Value" calculated? We divide the MSRP in Canadian dollars by the rated range in kilometres. This gives you a cost-per-km figure that levels the playing field across price segments. A $40,000 EV with 400 km of range and a $60,000 EV with 600 km of range both cost $100/km, even though their sticker prices are very different.
Does the provincial map show real electricity and gas prices? Yes. The map uses current provincial electricity rates and gas prices to calculate what it costs to drive 100 km in an EV versus a gas vehicle. The data is updated regularly to reflect actual energy costs across all provinces and territories.
How do I know if an EV qualifies for the federal rebate? The Rebate-Eligible ranking shows all EVs with an MSRP at or below the $50,000 federal EVAP price cap. These vehicles are likely eligible for up to $5,000 in federal rebates. Visit our grants page for provincial incentives that stack on top.
Will rankings update automatically as new EVs launch? Yes. Rankings pull from the same vehicle database that powers the rest of EVD2. When a new vehicle is added or specs change, the rankings reflect that automatically. No manual curation needed.
Can I compare vehicles directly from the rankings? Not yet from within the ranking tables, but you can click through to any vehicle profile and use the comparison tool to put your top picks side by side with full spec breakdowns.
