The ongoing consumer adoration of SUVs continued in 2019, according to auto-industry watchers.

The slideshow above reveals the top-selling electric cars in 2020, according to InsideEVs.com, a news site that monitors and promotes such high-efficiency automobiles. Electric vehicles (EVs) also are growing in popularity because their options have expanded and because EV charging stations are becoming increasingly common along U.S. highways and byways. It helps that insurance for electric vehicles has begun to come down as more auto shops are becoming trained and accustomed to servicing them.
