Since they don't have engines, electric cars often offer bonus cargo room under their hoods.
That extra cubby is known as a front trunk, or frunk.
Electric vehicles are great because they're quick, packed with technology, and sip cheap electrons instead of guzzling fuel. Plus, who doesn't want a front trunk?
Are frunks strictly necessary? Not at all. Should they be a dealbreaker when you're shopping around for an electric car? Probably not. But are they a pretty neat use of the space that's normally taken up by a gas engine? Heck yeah.
I've checked out a variety of different frunks over the years in electric cars I've tested. Here's all of them ranked from most to least useful.
