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.

This has nothing to do with cost, or time. I have a degree in applied mathematics, and can do the arithmetic.
I don't enjoy driving much of anything I can rent. My friend's Subaru handles snow and unimproved roads well, and if we're not doing that, there are very few road cars more comfortable or satisfying than my XJ. Traveling solo, I'm almost always on a motorcycle.
Flying, OTOH, is an utterly miserable experience, in all aspects. Haven't done it in decades, as it has steadily become more cramped and invasive from my last lousy experience. Customer service is totally lacking, as my family's, friends', and acquaintances' misplaced luggage and missed connections attest. If commercial air travel was banned in the USofA for something like security reasons, I would not miss it at all.
We take US highways more often than Interstates and State/County roads when we choose, stop, even detour, whenever we find something along the route interesting, spend as much time as we like, and arrive in a much better frame of mind. The example I gave is just a small part of our trips together and my solo travel. So far, in the contiguous 48 states, I have only missed Minnesota and Louisiana west of the Mississippi, but have crossed it on a motorcycle to visit family in Illinois.
