In tandem with the automotive industry’s evolution and the ongoing push towards electric vehicles, a market for electric convertibles has emerged. Where brands like Mercedes-Benz, Fiat, Abarth, and MINI are already offering electric convertible cars, brands like Fisker, Porsche, Polestar, and Tesla are doubling down on exploring the potential of this untapped market, since there aren’t a lot of options available.

Electric convertible cars efficiently deliver the best of both worlds: the exhilaration of driving a convertible with the efficiency and sustainability of electric vehicles. This list shows electric convertible cars that are either available for purchase right now or will be available in the near future. There are a couple more electric convertibles that are confirmed – the Porsche 718 Boxster and the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore (spotted testing in the wild) – but there’s almost no official information available about them, which is why we’ve skipped them.
