Do electric cars have keys?
I’ve noticed that almost every new car on the market now has done away with key-start ignitions and some are even being made without keys at all. Do any electric cars still have keys?

Getting handed the keys to a new car was at one point an almost ceremonial moment in the process of buying a new car, but those days might be gone altogether in the near future!
If you’re buying a new model
electric car
, chances are that yes, your car will probably come without a key. Cars like the Tesla Model 3 are even being produced without key fobs
. Instead, drivers will open the door to their new car with a keycard and a smartphone app. If you’re buying a used car, some older model electric and hybrid cars still may come with keys, but they’re becoming increasingly obsolete as push-button starts and
keyless-entry systems
grow in popularity. Think about it—with a keyless car you’ll never have to worry about
