Edmunds: Ioniq, Bolt, Leaf give EV buyers options to Model 3

Nissan is launching a revamped version of its Leaf electric vehicle, going head-to-head with Tesla's Model 3 and beating off criticism that a limited driving range will dull its mass-market appeal. This photo provided by Tesla shows the 2017 Tesla Model 3, a compact electric sedan that offers two levels of range. The Tesla Model 3 has captured the interest of both mainstream car buyers and electric vehicle enthusiasts alike. The Model 3's combination of sleek styling, long-range and semi-autonomous driving features gives the Model 3 an "it" factor that's hard to resist. For buyers who are interested in an electric vehicle but don't want to wait around for the Model 3, several great alternatives are available now at a similar price point.
