There are some inexpensive electric cars, you just need to know where to look for them.Baona/Getty Images
More affordable EVs are on the way this year.
Car companies are scrambling to offer more affordable EV options amid demand slump.
As electric vehicle shoppers become more practical and price-conscious, inexpensive EVs are having a moment.
Affordable electric models are becoming a key piece of the auto industry's transition away from fossil fuels as demand for the more expensive models falls.
Automakers have returned to the drawing board this year on the EV plans, adding more hybrid options than before and promising more affordable EVs.
Ford, for example, announced earlier this week it would be prioritizing smaller, more inexpensive EVs going forward. And GM said it would start selling more hybrids in North America as customers adjust to EVs.
While customers wait for these less expensive models to show up, we asked car-shopping website Edmunds for a list of the 10 cheapest electric vehicles going on sale this year.
Here are a few models you can find on dealer lots that won't break the bank.
