Ten Electric Cars Other Than A Tesla That Promise A Long Range Per Charge

Tesla has been dominating the world of electric vehicles since its inception. Part of the reason for this is the first successful commercialisation of EVs by the company on many fronts. While other players have also been in the game, some even years before Tesla, the latter somehow comes to the forefront whenever electric vehicles are being discussed.

But as the electric vehicles take the centre-stage, almost all the auto-makers are now looking to join the race by incorporating EVs into their production. Some have even announced a complete shift to an EV lineup in the years to come.

Citing this, it is important to keep an eye out on all the other electric vehicles currently on offer and those which will be rolled out soon. After all, coming from the houses of renowned automakers, they might be a tough competition for even Tesla to beat.
