Without a doubt, electric car companies see battery-powered vehicles as the future of worldwide driving. Many manufacturers are targeting electrified lineups within the next decade or sooner. Other companies pledge to be completely carbon neutral within the next 30 years.
With that in mind, we pulled together a list of all the electric car companies and electric vehicles being planned or offered by well-known automakers. Some of these companies are staples in the automotive world with best-selling vehicles, such as Ford, while others have yet to release a single vehicle — and may never even do so.
Our alphabetical list will help you shop if you want to buy an electric car now or in the next few years, or if you just want to plan or dream about the vehicle you might be driving decades from now. Or, it might just be driving you.
Wherever you are on the spectrum, we list the companies and their current and possibly upcoming vehicles.
