Not so much if you live in North America. There are a few plug-in options, but it seems like the good ones are staying in Europe and Japan because in 2021, the big automakers still don't think there's a market for EVs in the Americas.

Tesla does see a market in the Americas, so they actually sell cars here. That gives them a big leg up, even among people who don't like them.

We have, and love, our Chevrolet Bolt. In addition to the Bolt, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Polestar (Volvo), and more all have electric vehicles, all available in the US.

Yep, I live in the US. There were tons of Leafs were plugged in every day at my office pre pandemic. More of those than Teslas. Also plenty of Bolts there. I see lots of non Tesla EVs on the road every day.
