For years, it was only a small handful of automakers that offered electric vehicles. But that's changing. This fall marks the beginning of a new crop of EVs that run the gamut from crossovers to pickup trucks to SUVs, many of which will be available for consumers to see up close and in person through Drive Electric Week.
