More than a dozen all-electric vehicles are available in the US market. Many EVs now offer over 200 miles of range, but a few come in well under that figure.We've come a long way from the years when we had just one or two all-electric vehicles in the US market. By my count, we now have 14 models, at various trim levels, offering a relatively wide choice of ranges, luxury, performance, and price.
To be sure, living with an EV isn't the same as living with a gas-powered car. You have to contend with at-times limited charging options and ranges that aren't fully comparable with internal-combustion vehicles.And with many more EVs coming to market in the next five years, the choices should only get better.Tesla Model 3. $40,000 gets you the base Model 3, with 250 miles of range. Move up to the long-range at about $49,000 and you have 322 miles.
Tesla's ability to do relatively well as a company right now really surprised me, especially given that so much of their customer base is in China. Will be good to watch what their earnings and guidance estimates are when they report in May.
