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.
Possible future EVs:
Aspark
Aspark is a car company based in Osaka, Japan, developing the fastest accelerating supercar. The all-electric Aspark Owl goes from 0 to 60 mph in 1.69 seconds and hits a top speed of 248 mph.

Genesis
Genesis could be one of those automakers that makes waves in the luxury electric car market. The luxury division of Hyundai expects to release its first EV, the Genesis Electrified G80, in 2022. The company already unveiled a concept car for 2023. These two cars feature loads of new technology and the luxurious interior that Genesis is known for with the gas-powered vehicles it makes.

After the release of the pickup truck, Hummer will look to electrify an SUV.
Upcoming Evs:
Honda
The one car company you might expect would already sell EVs currently is not, as Honda pulled the plug on the Clarity EV. While the company offers hybrid cars like the 2021 Honda CR-V, the next fully electric vehicle does not come until at least 2024 with the Honda Prologue.
Upcoming EVs:

Current EVs:
Upcoming EVs:

Upcoming EVs:
Kia
Kia has already been producing EVs, with all-electric versions of the Soul and Niro in recent years. The company said it will offer seven new electric car models to its inventory in the next five years. As for now, the 2022 Kia Niro EV and the EV6 keep Kia in the EV game.

The Evija is the first electric car produced by Lotus, but there’s no telling if it will be the last. Common sense says it’s likely Lotus will bring additional electric cars like this one to production soon.
Current EVs:
2021 Lotus Evija
Lucid
Lucid Motors could be among Tesla’s biggest competitors once it fully arrives on the car scene. This electric car company plans to unveil cars with ranges reaching the low 500s.

The company expects to release the Lucid Air next year.
Upcoming EVs:
Mazda
Mazda will be releasing its first electric vehicle with the Mazda MX-30 compact crossover. Mazda has a way of creating features and qualities oftentimes better than other crossovers and SUVs in the same price range. That is no different with the newest electric car in their lineup. The MX-30 features “freestyle doors” that swing out to open instead of opening like typical car doors. 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.
Upcoming EVs:
Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes Benz is one more manufacturer bringing luxury to electric cars in an all-new way. The company found a way to make the inside of its upcoming EQ lineup look like spaceships rather than sedans or SUVs.

Upcoming EVs:
Mini
Mini is making its small, boxy, and fun Hardtop into an EV variant. Rather than opting for a whole new design for their electric models, the brand stayed with its iconic shape and design to step into the electric car industry.
Current EVs:
2021 Hardtop 2 Door Cooper S E
Upcoming EVs:
2022 Hardtop 2 Door Cooper S E
Nissan
We can all thank Nissan. The company ushered in the modern mainstream EV industry when it released the original Leaf over a decade ago. Fast forward to today, the Leaf remains a practical, affordable EV. Starting price for the 2022 Nissan Leaf will be $27,400. Then there’s the Ariya, set to debut in 2022 as Nissan’s first crossover SUV. The Ariya starts at around $40,000.
Current EVs:
Upcoming EVs
Pininfarina
Pininfarina is another supercar maker that made it into the electric car field. It has constructed an all-electric supercar named the Pininfarina Battista with 1,877 hp and 1,696 lb-ft of torque to make getting anywhere you need to go much more fun. Sadly, only 150 of these supercars will get produced.
Current EVs:
2021 Pininfarina Battista
Polestar
Polestar released an electrified vehicle in 2020 with the launch of the Polestar 1 plug-in hybrid. Then came the fully electric Polestar 2.

Upcoming EVs:
2023 Polestar 3

RAM
Ram expects to step into the electric car industry — well, kind of. The company plans on releasing its most popular truck, the Ram 1500, as an EV in 2024.

Upcoming EVs:
Rivian
California-based electric car company Rivian is among the most promising start-ups in the EV era and is set to release the all-electric R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck. In addition to producing these adventure-ready electric vehicles for consumers, Rivian will be making all-electric delivery vans for Amazon. The online behemoth is a major backer in Rivian, which has raised billions of dollars in funding. Other backers include Ford and Cox Automotive, parent of Kelley Blue Book.
Upcoming EVs:
Tesla
Tesla began releasing futuristic electric cars in 2008 with its Roadster. Since then, the company kept its foot on the gas — make that thee battery pedal — producing a popular EV lineup. As a market leader, the company will transition from making sedans and SUVs to also manufacturing the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck pickup remains in high demand since Tesla first announced the vehicle. The Cybertruck will arrive in 2022.
Current EVs:
Upcoming EVs:
Toyota
People may not know that Toyota briefly manufactured an all-electric model of its ever-popular RAV4, but it was discontinued in 2014. Perhaps even more unknown is that Toyota made the car in collaboration with Tesla. Outside of the RAV4 EV, Toyota unveiled its all-electric Toyota bZ4X BEV concept car. Production could begin on the bZ4X in late 2022. Toyota said it hopes to offer dozens of electrified models by 2025 and be carbon neutral by 2050.
Upcoming EVs:
Volkswagen
Volkswagen is working hard to bring the electric future to all of its cars. The ID.4 is its latest example, following initial efforts like the Golf EV. But the company expects to produce more EVs. The car company said it wants to release 70 electric vehicles by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2050.
Current EVs:
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. The newer, sportier look does give it a stylish advantage over its competitors, but that also comes with a slight price increase. The EV will start around the $55,000 mark. Similar to other car companies, Volvo sees its future as fully electric by 2030.
