Volkswagen ID.4

The Volkswagen ID.4 emerges as Europe's top-selling EV and gains momentum in the U.S. after gaining access to Tesla Superchargers, a feature still absent from rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E (#5). Over-the-air software updates keep the system fresh, while the $39,000 starting price undercuts the typical EV crossover by 8%. This combination of practicality, price, and expanding charging access makes the ID.4 a smart mass-market choice.
