Charged And Ready, But Why Can't EVS Get Going?

We’re Seeing the Best Electric Vehicles Yet, But Sales Are Still Slow

- Michael Coates

The Tesla Model 3 is here, as is the Chevy Bolt. There is a 200+-mile Leaf right around the corner. Affordable, practical electric cars are on the market, and more competition is coming on both the high end and the low. By all rights, it looks like electric cars have done everything that was asked of them.

•AFFORDABILITY — How about a Fiat 500e at $89/month?

•RANGE — The new Tesla Model 3 will have a 330-mile range.

•PERFORMANCE — 0-60 miles per hour in 5.6 seconds driving the Model 3.

•FEATURES — Virtually everything you can find on a luxury car is also available on one or more EVs.
