Is Tesla the best electric car company?

I’ve been looking into buying my first electric car, and my friend who owns a Tesla says I shouldn’t even bother looking at anything but Tesla. I want to keep my options open, but is Tesla really the best electric car company?

When it comes to
electric cars
, there are currently more options than ever, so it would be a little shortsighted to just limit yourself to one brand.
Whether or not Tesla is the best car company is subjective, but Tesla is the most successful electric car company in the U.S. by far. After selling 936,200 electric vehicles in 2021, Tesla was named the best-selling electric carmaker in the world.
Tesla also has the largest proprietary charging network in the U.S., although soon the company will be opening up
Superchargers
to non-Tesla electric cars.
