I’m thinking about buying my first electric car, but I really want to go with a manufacturer that has experience. Which company has the most experience building electric cars?

Great question, although the answer might depend on who you ask.
While [Tesla] may be a fledgling brand compared to other automakers, it’s undeniable that the young
electric car
company has been putting in the work for years to lead the industry in electric cars.Some might argue, however, that General Motors has been in the game longer. GM was responsible for the first mass-produced, modern electric car when the company released the short-lived EV1 in 1996.
Nissan wasn’t too far behind Tesla either, launching the all-electric Nissan Leaf in October of 2010, just two years after the premier of the Tesla Roadster.
Regardless,
Tesla
has set itself apart from other automakers by being such an early adopter of the all-electric powertrain. Tesla currently has more all-electric models than any other automaker and has the capacity to produce about 15,000 vehicles per week in the U.S., while all other automakers combined can produce about half that. To us, that sounds pretty experienced.A licensed broker, Jerry does all the hard work of finding cheap quotes from the top name-brand insurance companies and buying new car insurance. Jerry will even help you cancel your old policy.
Jerry will even send you new quotes every time your policy comes up for renewal, so you’re always getting the coverage you want at the best price.
