Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly prevalent on American roads. Government incentives and changing consumer preferences are accelerating this trend. Car manufacturers are responding by expanding their electric lineups, offering battery-powered models for a variety of needs, from weekend adventures to daily commutes.
This comprehensive guide lists every electric car currently available for purchase and immediate delivery in the United States. We’ve organized the list alphabetically, providing the base range and price (before incentives) for each model. Note: Models like the Kia Soul EV and Tesla Cybertruck are not included because they are not yet available for immediate delivery.
