Electric Car Companies Guide - Kelley Blue Book

Car companies undoubtedly see battery-powered vehicles as the future of worldwide driving. Many manufacturers began targeting electrified lineups within the next decade or sooner. Other companies pledge a completely carbon-neutral future within the next 30 years.

With that in mind, we compiled a list of all the electric car companies, and vehicles planned or offered by well-known automakers. Some of these companies are staples in the automotive world with best-selling cars, like Ford and Tesla, 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 want to plan or dream about the vehicle you might be driving decades from now. Or, it might just be driving you.

Whatever your situation, we list the companies and their current and possibly upcoming EVs.

Acura

Acura recently released new details of the company’s EV concept car, the Acura Precision, which will be the Acura ZDX once released. The SUV would be the carmaker’s first electric vehicle. While the concept is a good sign of what’s potentially coming, we wait until Acura releases its 2024 model this spring for the real thing. Remember, many aspects of this car won’t make it to production.

Future EVs:

2024 Acura ZDX

Apple Car

Apple CarPlay in-vehicle phone integration attracts many fans, but what if Apple made a whole car? Apple began working on an EV hoping to shake up the electric car industry. At one point, the tech giant was linked to a partnership with Hyundai, but the deal got called off a month after the story broke. Apple has been testing an autopilot chip similar to what Tesla uses. Last year, the car got delayed until 2026. In February 2024, Apple pulled the plug.

Possible future EVs:

Aspark

Aspark, a car company based in Osaka, Japan, developed a fast-accelerating hypercar. The all-electric Aspark Owl goes from 0 to 60 mph in 1.72 seconds. The Aspark Owl can hit a top speed of about 250 mph. Don’t get too excited about having this car in your driveway. Aspark plans just five vehicles for the United States. Its price is $3.2 million. The manufacturer previously produced and reportedly sold out of all 50 of these high-performance cars worldwide in 2022.

Atlis Motor Vehicles

Atlis Motor Vehicles is now a subsidiary of NXU Inc. Publicly-traded NXU is developing battery technology and charging stations that they say will change the time it takes drivers to fast-charge their vehicles.

Atlis was founded in 2016 and had planned to manufacture an all-electric pickup truck that is durable and rugged enough to take on extreme conditions. Its Atlis XT aimed to be the Arizona-based company’s first pickup with a claimed 500 miles of range and potential towing capacity of up to 35,000 pounds. Several years ago, Atlis signed an agreement with a supplier to the United States Military with the hope to design and produce a technology platform to convert gasoline and diesel-powered military vehicles into EVs. While the pickup truck is not scrapped, it’s paused.

Possible future EVs:

Atlis XT (TBD)

The carmaker is now releasing the 2024 Equinox EV and the 2024 Blazer EV SUVs. In addition, Chevy is also selling an electric version of its popular Silverado truck with a 400-plus-mile range. The company wants to be carbon-neutral by 2040, though its CEO Mary Barra recently said in an earnings call that the company will bring back plug-in hybrids in a move that looks like its slowing down its fully electric future.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado Electric

2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV
