24 Electric Cars on the Market in 2024

As climate change continues to affect our planet, many of us think about what we can do to help fight it. One of the most impactful ways you can make a positive impact on the environment is by swapping out your gas-powered car for an electric car.  

Beyond a smaller carbon footprint, there are many reasons to switch to an electric car. They’re safe, they’re cheaper and easier to maintain, and you’ll never have to pump gas again! As more charging stations pop up around the country, upfront costs continue to fall, and more tax credits and other incentives become available (including a federal income tax credit of up to $7,500), switching to an electric car is an increasingly appealing and affordable option for many drivers.
