Ranking all the electric-car frunks I’ve tested, from best to worst

• 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. 
• Lots of brands offer them, but they’re not all created equal.

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.
