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. 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 world’s electric car companies with their current and possibly upcoming vehicles.
Apple Car
We all know and love Apple CarPlay, but what if Apple made a whole car? Well, it’s no secret that Apple has been working on a car that it hopes will shake up the electric car industry. The tech giant was linked to a partnership with Hyundai, but the deal got called off just a month after the story broke. Apple is reportedly still working on a fully electric vehicle, but little else is known — no surprise from the popular but secretive company.

Upcoming EVs:
2024 Honda Prologue

Despite the fancy doors and sleek design, the MX-30 offers a rather underwhelming 100 miles of range on a full charge. The EV will start at $33,740.

2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS

Volvo
Volvo has one all-electric on the market currently with the XC40 Recharge. To go along with the XC40 Recharge, Volvo is releasing a sleek, sporty EV called the C40 Recharge.
