This Earth Day, we once again take a look at the electric vehicle options currently available in the Canadian market. Aside from a few models that are almost gone at the time of writing - or some that we all know about - here's a fairly full list of all the most interesting vehicle models that run on electricity.

Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y
It's impossible to talk about modern-day electric cars without starting with the Tesla brand. And while it's true that the Model S and Model X are the two vehicles that propelled Tesla to international prominence and a seat at the table with the automotive big boys, the Model 3/Model Y tandem has been the one that really drove Tesla sales in most corners of the globe, and within just a few short years.
