In J.D. Power's 2025 APEAL study, Rivian achieved the highest owner satisfaction score with 896 points, though it was ineligible for an official award. Tesla followed closely with a score of 892. Officially, Porsche ranked highest among premium brands for the second consecutive year with a score of 890, followed by Land Rover and BMW. This highlights strong satisfaction with new EV brands, even as overall satisfaction with non-Tesla EVs declined.
