Out of every magnificent electric car being released, here are some of the EVs we can't wait to get our hands on.

Electric cars are here to stay, undoubtedly and automakers are constantly trying to surpass themselves. Each electric car that comes out today is better than the last one. The best part is that, as of today, there is an electric car available for almost any price range. You have models which are affordable, and then you also have ultra-luxurious electric cars with top-tier specs as well as a high price tag.

Performance-wise, there are no complaints as well, there are several EVs out there that can go from 0-60 mph in under a chilling two seconds, which is quite impressive. With that being said, here are 10 electric cars we can’t wait to drive yet.
