The Tesla Model 3 is the most popular EV on TikTok with more than 136,400 posts under its hashtag.

Novated Lease analysed about 40 of the most popular EV brands on TikTok, counting the total number of videos under each brand’s hashtag to reveal those capturing Gen-Z’s attention and enthusiasm.

One of the biggest attractions is the Model 3’s range (more than 560km) and charging capabilities, combined with Tesla’s status as an EV pioneer, the Model 3’s affordability makes it an attractive entry point for younger buyers seeking to invest in sustainable tech, says Novated Lease.
