This is a list of production battery electric vehicles (all-electric cars). You may want to view this information in table format.

Cars

Current in-production cars

Full-sized cars

Cars and trucks of normal size and speed (highway speed).

  • AC Propulsion eBox, a li-ion powered conversion of a Toyota Scion xB with 150 mi (240 km) range, 95 mph (153 km/h) top speed and 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 7 seconds.
  • Blade Electron. Australian Li-ion phosphate EV by Blade Electric Vehicles with 120 km (75 mi) range, 120 km/h (75 mph) top speed and 0-60 km/h (37 mph) in 7 seconds acceleration.[1]
  • Tesla Roadster, USA and EU li-ion powered sports car by Tesla Motors with 244 mi (393 km) range, 125 mph (201 km/h) top speed and 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.9 seconds acceleration.

The BYD F3DM is the world's first mass produced plug-in hybrid compact sedan which went on sale to government agencies and corporations on December 15, 2008 in China.[2] The F3DM is slated to go on sale in Europe during 2010 and in the USA during 2011.[3] The F3DM was introduced at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.
Microcars

Cars that are very small but are as fast and capable as larger cars.

Low-speed vehicles (also known as Neighborhood or Suburban cars)

These vehicles have a low top speed (like most scooters) and may not be street-legal without restrictions.

Cars planned for production

link title

Discontinued cars

Medium and Light Duty Trucks and Vans

Heavy Duty Trucks

Motorcycles and scooters

Buses

Electric vehicle production

Major vehicle manufacturers

DaimlerChrysler

On July 12, 2006, the DaimlerChrysler division SMART cars, announced that it would premiere a new Smart Fortwo EV at the British International Motor Show held at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre on 18 July.

The car will be made available on a lease arrangement to selected UK corporate customers with deliveries starting in November 2006. Up to 200 of the electric microcars will be built and delivered to the UK, which will serve as the trial market for the vehicle.

According to the DaimlerChrysler press release, the Smart EV sets a new benchmark in the electric vehicle sector; it has 30 kW output and a top speed of 70 mph. It offers even better in-town performance than its petrol powered stablemate, with 0-30 mph in 6.5 seconds. With a range of up to 72 miles, the Smart EV is exempt from vehicle excise duty and the London congestion charge.

The drive train for the Smart EV is produced in the UK by technology partner Zytek Group who undertake final assembly of the car in Fradley, near Lichfield.

Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi Motors announced on May 11, 2005 that it will mass-produce its Mitsubishi In-wheel Electric Vehicle (MIEV). Test fleets are to arrive in 2006 and production models could be available in 2010. The first test car, revealed to be Colt EV, is expected to have a range of 93 miles using lithium-ion batteries and in-wheel electric motors. The target price of an MIEV is US$19,000, although no export decision has yet been made.[35] In July 2009, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV will go on sale to fleets in Japan and New Zealand, with availability to the general Japanese public beginning in April 2010. It uses a 16 kWh capacity lithium-ion battery.[36]
