Toyota Prius Prime

Used 2022 Toyota Prius Prime Pug-in Hybrid
Price: $6,000.00

The Toyota Prius, which starts at about $28,000, was first released in the U.S. in 2000, and while flashier, more fuel-efficient cars may be available now, Fisher said it remains a reliable option for consumers.
"A lot of people bought the Prius because it's very green, but it's no longer the greenest car on the market," he said.
But the Prius may appeal to consumers who want to drive around town while charging the battery without having to worry about finding a charging station during a long trip.
"You can commute to work every day and not use a drop of fuel, but if you go on a trip, you don't have to worry about recharging," Fisher said.
The Prius has also recently been upgraded to give the engine an extra 75 hp, meaning it can accelerate from 0-60 mph faster, CR reports.
The Prius Prime is the plug-in hybrid version of the Prius and has a higher starting price than the Prius at $32,350.

Price: $34,340.00

According to Fisher, the Tesla Model Y starts at around $44,000 and earned its spot on the list in part thanks to Tesla's supercharger network, which makes it easier for owners to find places to power up their cars while traveling.
"It's not the best electric car you could buy - there's a lot of competition out there," he added. "The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a great car, but the magic of Tesla is access to superchargers."
