I've driven 15 different electric cars. These are my 13 favorite features, from the F-150's frunk to Rivian's camping kitchen.

• I've driven more than a dozen electric models from BMW, Tesla, Ford, and more.

• Tons of EVs boast interesting designs and capabilities, but only the coolest features cut through the noise.

• Rivian's R1T offers a one-of-a-kind gear tunnel, while Porsche's Taycan can charge incredibly quickly.

Slowly but surely, car companies are going electric. More buyers than ever are considering the switch from fossil fuels.

What's great for early adopters is that automakers are using cutting-edge electric models as a testing ground for new and interesting designs and capabilities.

I've driven more than a dozen electric cars from Ford, Tesla, Porsche, and others and experienced plenty of cool features, but a handful stand out.

California upstart Rivian is looking to become the Tesla of rugged pickup trucks and SUVs.

Its vehicles are jam-packed with interesting features, but the coolest part of the R1T truck has to be its Gear Tunnel.

It's a bonus, one-of-a-kind storage area running between R1T's back seats and bed.

Plus, buyers can add on a slide-out Camp Kitchen complete with a sink, cutting board, utensils, and induction cooktop.

The Gear Tunnel opens from both sides. Both doors house extra goodies like a first aid kit.

Simply point the seven-seat SUV at a deep creek, steep incline, or mass of boulders, and step on the accelerator. Its four powerful motors, adjustable air suspension, and advanced all-wheel-drive system handle the rest.

In Tesla's Model Y, the star of the show is its minimalist, technology-packed interior.

Tesla rejects almost all conventional buttons and gauges in favor of a sleek and uncluttered look.

And tech geeks will get a kick out of the big, snappy touchscreen that controls basic vehicle settings and receives software updates.

Fun built-in features like a racing game (which uses the actual steering wheel), drawing pad, and Netflix ensure you'll never be bored while charging up.

Kia's spaceship-like EV6 has a trick up its sleeve in the form of bidirectional charging capability.

The clever feature involves using an adapter that plugs into the charge port.

From there, you can power things things like speakers, an electric cooktop, or a coffee maker. I used the EV6 to make breakfast.

Hyundai's Ioniq 5 shares its guts with the EV6, so it can also power your toaster or hair dryer on the go.
