Electric cars are becoming an increasingly common sight on American roads. And while just a few brands may dominate the news cycle, there are actually well over a dozen fully battery-electric models on sale in the US today.

We thought it would be helpful to throw together a guide to better make sense of all your electric options if you're on the hunt for a new car. And to go a step further, we're also adding just how far each one will go on a single charge.

The range of most models still relegate them to commuter cars.

    From your description, if you had to have a second car (and in some places, it's a given), or even more than two, then only one of them needs to be an ICE.
    That's major progress.

    For the people who only have space/money for one car, and the logistics of renting are too daunting, the PHEVs are coming down in price slowly. Commute electric, road-trip on gas anytime. It may take another few years before the TCO premium over buying a used ICE makes sense for many people.
