Future Electric Vehicles: The EVs You’ll Soon Be Able to Buy

Acura’s first EV, the ZDX, was built on the bones of the Chevrolet Blazer EV, but now Acura is readying its next electric crossover, this time rolling on a new electric architecture developed by parent company Honda. Previewed by the Performance EV concept, the crossover will have a sloped coupe-like roofline and a pointy front end. The SUV will be built at Honda’s new facility in Ohio and will launch in late 2025. —Caleb Miller

Alfa Romeo has confirmed the gas-powered Giulia (seen above) will be revamped in the coming years with an electric powertrain. We expect the base version will make around 350 horsepower, while the Veloce will produce closer to 800 horsepower. The top-of-the-line Giulia will continue to carry the historic Quadrifoglio name and should make upward of 1000 horsepower. The new Giulia will be produced on the Stellantis Group’s STLA Large platform, with 800-volt, ultra-rapid charging and a range of up to 500 miles. Recent rumors suggest the Giulia, like the 2025 Dodge Charger, will also be offered with combustion engines. —Jack Fitzgerald

Before the next-generation Giulia arrives, Alfa Romeo will launch a new Stelvio. Like Alfa’s upcoming sedan, the Stelvio will ride on the STLA Large platform and come with both electric and internal-combustion powertrains. The electric SUV is expected to arrive first, going on sale at some point in 2025. —Caleb Miller

Alpine, the French subsidiary of Renault known for lightweight sports cars, plans to enter the U.S. market later this decade with a lineup of EVs. The charge will be spearheaded by the compact A390, sharing a platform with the Nissan Ariya and expected in 2027, along with a more wagon-like A490. Still, Alpine intends to have an electric successor to its A110 coupe as a flagship model, with a debut in 2026. Alpine will also battle the Porsche Taycan with the A310, set to arrive in 2028. Few other details are known now. —Caleb Miller

The Audi Q6 e-tron slots between the Q4 and Q8 e-tron crossovers and rides on the same PPE architecture that underpins the Porsche Macan EV. A 94.4-kWh battery should provide around 300 miles of range and the 800-volt setup allows for DC fast-charging at 270 kilowatts, going from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 21 minutes. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive Q6 e-tron produces 422 horsepower, while the SQ6 e-tron ups that to 483 ponies, with a boost mode adding just over 30 horsepower for each model. On a prototype test drive, we found a comfortable ride and punchy acceleration. The 2025 Q6 e-tron goes on sale in late 2024 and will sit alongside the gas-powered Q5 in Audi’s lineup. —Caleb Miller

The Audi A6 e-tron will finally arrive in 2025 with aerodynamic bodywork and an array of powertrains. The base model sends 362 hp to the rear wheels and is joined by a 422-hp all-wheel-drive variant and a 543-hp S6 e-tron. The latter will zip to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. A 94.4-kWh battery should provide around 350 miles of range, while the PPE platform’s 800-volt architecture allows for rapid charging at up to 270 kW. Inside, a curved panel houses a 14.5-inch infotainment screen and an 11.9-inch digital gauge cluster, while the passenger can play games or watch videos on an optional 14.5-inch display. Sales kick off in the spring of next year, with prices starting around $70,000. —Caleb Miller

Bentley has pushed back its first EV by two years to 2027, with a reveal set for 2026. The British marque’s CEO said the delay was due to software issues and other concerns over the platform, with the EV due to ride on a version of the Volkswagen Group’s PPE architecture. Bentley is targeting a range of at least 373 miles and advanced driver-assistance technology. While a series of EVs were set to be launched each year from 2025 to 2030, the plan to go fully EV is now set for roughly 2033. —Caleb Miller

Fender flares, a more aggressive stance, and 1136 horsepower will combine to produce the upcoming BMW i5 M, which won’t arrive before 2026. The new high-performance four-motor drivetrain will incorporate wheel-by-wheel torque vectoring and brake-by-motor energy regeneration and will be capable of piloted drifting and tank turns where the vehicle can use its prodigious torque output to spin in place. While the more subdued i5 has already debuted—with its own set of high-performance batteries, active steering, and suspension fit for the Nürburgring—we can’t help but keep our focus on the angrier i5 M with a drive control unit that’s being referred to internally as the “Hand of God.” Take the wheel, Jesus. —Austin Irwin

The unique-looking Neue Klasse concept revealed in 2023 is expected to preview a future electric iteration of the iconic, long-running BMW 3-Series. The concept debuted a new design language that should spread across the lineup, with a funky evolution of the classic kidney grille. The concept uses experimental e-Ink technology—similar to what you’d find on an eReader tablet—on the window trim that lights up as you approach the car. The simplistic cabin has a full-width screen spanning the dashboard. The car will be built on BMW’s next-generation EV platform which promises range improvements of up to 30 percent versus current models. The production version will likely arrive by 2026. —Caleb Miller

BMW’s Vision Neue Klasse X concept is expected to reach production in 2025 and will sit below the iX in the lineup, likely wearing the moniker iX3. The concept ushers in BMW’s unorthodox new design language, with a thinner interpretation of the iconic “kidney” grille that harkens back to classics like the 2002. Spy photos show that the production design will hew closely to the concept, and the concept’s cabin is simplified with a massive screen spanning the width of the dashboard. A new platform reportedly boasts an 800-volt architecture and a 30 percent range improvement over the company’s existing EVs. —Caleb Miller

Buick revived the nameplate of the 18-foot-long steel sled from 1959 for its new all-electric SUV that’s already been on sale in China. The Electra E5 uses GM’s Ultium battery platform and is roughly the same size as a Chevy Blazer. An investigation into trademarks may have revealed Buick’s future lineup, with filings for Electra E1 through E9. While Buick had originally planned to reveal its first EV in 2024, the vehicle has now been delayed, with the Electra E5’s arrival possibly hampered by tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. It’s unclear how this change in plans will affect Buick’s hopes to put its tri-shield logo atop a fully electric lineup by 2030. —Austin Irwin

Cadillac wants to return to the days when the company could call itself the Standard of the World without getting scoffed at. At least that’s the plan with the upcoming Celestiq, an extravagant EV that will be built by hand and cost upward of $300K. That price puts it out of reach for all but the wealthiest people, but Cadillac envisions the Celestiq as aspirational rather than attainable. For the one percent who can afford one of these avant-garde 600-hp electric hatchbacks, each example can be uniquely tailored to the customer’s whims. Will it be enough to vault GM’s luxury brand into the discussion with Bentley and Rolls-Royce? Production of the Celestiq has begun, but it’s unclear when deliveries will start. —Eric Stafford

The Cadillac Escalade—the big, brash SUV that’s proved popular among rappers like Jay-Z and 50 Cent—is undergoing an electric transformation with the new Escalade iQ. With over 200 kilowatt-hours of capacity, the Ultium battery—shared with the GMC Hummer EV—provides an estimated 450 miles of range, while the dual-motor powertrain can provide up to 750 horsepower. The luxurious cabin is decked out with 55 inches of screen stretching across the entire dashboard and a 40-speaker sound system. The Escalade iQ will be offered with Super Cruise, General Motors’ hands-free driving system, and will start around $130,000. —Caleb Miller

Cadillac is rapidly expanding its EV lineup and will add the three-row Vistiq for 2026 between the mid-size Lyriq and full-size Escalade iQ. The Vistiq looks roughly the size of the gas-powered XT6 and features a similar face to its electric brethren, with slim LED running lights atop vertical headlights and a glossy, illuminated grille trim piece. The first images show a “600E4” badge, suggesting a similar 500-hp, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain to the most powerful Lyriq model. The Vistiq should launch in early 2025. —Caleb Miller

Cadillac’s EV lineup will move downmarket with the compact Optiq, which will slot in below the Lyriq when it arrives in late 2024. All Optiqs will use a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain producing 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. The 85.0-kWh battery is shared with the Lyriq, and Cadillac estimates a 300-mile range. Inside, a curved 33-inch screen is balanced by a host of physical controls. We expect pricing to start around $54,000. —Caleb Miller

Canoo is an electric automotive startup from California, and this is its pickup. For now, it is simply called Pickup Truck. The Canoo pickup promises more than 500 horsepower and at least 200 miles of range. It’s smaller than what’s typically found in the mid-size pickup segment, being two feet shorter than the Ford Ranger. Canoo says its pickup will be offered with a six-to-eight-foot pickup bed, but it’s unclear when production will begin. The U.S. Army is also testing a modified version of the Pickup Truck. —Austin Irwin

Like Canoo’s pickup, this five- or seven-seat EV is built on a skateboard platform, similar to what BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen use to easily swap body styles on similar underpinnings. Canoo claims this little bus will have a range of 200 miles and up to 350 horsepower, with a starting price under $40,000. A delivery-van version has attracted 4500 pre-orders from Walmart, while NASA has expressed interest in using the Lifestyle Vehicle for transport at the launch site for the upcoming Artemis moon-landing missions. Canoo has faced financial difficulties of late, and while it has begun building commercial vans, the Lifestyle Vehicle’s fate is unclear. —Caleb Miller

The Corvette cinematic universe is about to plunge into a phase so wild that Marvel might start taking notes. Chevrolet has already confirmed that a fully electric Corvette is coming soon—sooner than we might think since the E-Ray hybrid that recently broke cover was slated to make its debut first. The Corvette EV will use the same Ultium battery platform as other new GM EVs, and considering the General can get a fifty-trillion-ton Hummer EV to reach 60 mph in under 4 seconds, we have high hopes for the Corvette EV.

But wait, there’s more! We’re hearing rumors that the Corvette EV will launch into a new Corvette subbrand within GM, which will bring a host of new Corvette-branded models with it, including a four-door “coupe” and a high-performance crossover, which could easily position itself as a Ford Mustang Mach-E competitor—or something even beefier. —Andrew Krok

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Or—in the case of the Chevy Bolt—what does kill you makes you stronger. At least that’s the outlook of General Motors’ CEO, who confirmed the little EV’s revival in July. The Bolt will return for a second generation and Chevrolet promised that the electric hatchback will continue to be a tech-centric, affordable option. We know the next-gen Bolt will ride on the Ultium platform, and it should arrive for the 2025 model year. We don’t know specifics yet, but we’re sure the new version will exceed the current Bolt’s EPA-estimated 259-mile range. —Jack Fitzgerald

With the success of the Ford Mustang Mach-E in its crosshairs, Chrysler has confirmed an electric crossover is arriving for 2025. The automaker also said that the upcoming EV will differ from the Airflow concept, pictured here. Rumors suggest a 400-mile driving range and Level 3 autonomous driving capability, and we think the electric crossover will be closely related to the upcoming Jeep Wagoneer S. Chrysler, which currently offers the Pacifica minivan, has announced plans to go fully electric by 2028 and may later add an electric sedan based on the Halcyon concept. —Austin Irwin

Dodge is determined to keep the muscle car relevant well into the electric epoch with the 2024 Charger Daytona. At launch, the Charger—which now comes in two- and four-door flavors—featured two dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrains. The R/T pumps out up to 496 horsepower and the Scat Pack produces a maximum of 670 ponies, with the latter rocketing to 60 mph in a claimed 3.3 seconds. A 400-volt architecture allows for recharging times of around 28 minutes from 20 to 80 percent, and the 93.9-kWh battery will provide a 317-mile range for the R/T and a 260-mile range for the Scat Pack. Sales kick off at the end of 2024. —Caleb Miller

Ferrari is reportedly readying its first fully electric car, which is expected to debut late next year. Ferrari’s boss confirmed that prototype testing has already begun and spy shots show a low-riding but crossover-like profile. Not much else is known at the moment but if the SF90 plug-in hybrid pictured here is any indication, the Ferrari EV will likely be incredibly expensive and immensely quick. —Caleb Miller

Ford is reportedly delaying its three-row electric SUV, which was expected to bring the iconic Explorer nameplate into the EV era. Ford is instead prioritizing an affordable compact crossover that will start around $25,000 and will ride on a new platform that may also spawn a pickup truck. Ford already sells a small electric crossover in Europe, pictured here, that shares its platform with the Volkswagen ID.4 and confusingly is also called the Explorer. The low-cost U.S.-market EV should be substantially different when it arrives in late 2026. —Caleb Miller

Ford had originally intended to launch its next-generation electric truck—codenamed Project T3—for 2025, but the automaker has now delayed the pickup’s arrival to the second half of 2027. The truck will ride on a new platform that supports the expanded use of over-the-air updates. It will be built at the new BlueOval City campus in Tennessee, with production ramping up slowly to prevent quality issues. Few details are known about the truck, and it’s unclear if it will be a direct successor to the F-150 Lightning or play in a different segment. —Caleb Miller

Rumors of Genesis’s electric flagship SUV were effectively confirmed when the automaker revealed the opulent Neolun concept ahead of the 2024 New York auto show. Expected to use the name GV90, the large SUV will share its underpinnings with the Kia EV9 and the upcoming production version of the Hyundai Ioniq 7. The GV90 should eke out around 250 miles of range and produce roughly 500 horsepower from a pair of electric motors. But the real focus will be inside, and if the purple quilted leather and ornate trim of the Neolun concept is any indication, the cabin is going to be a relaxing and luscious place to be. —Caleb Miller

While Honda is partnering with GM for the Prologue, the Japanese automaker is busy preparing its own electric platform that will underpin its next EV. Due in 2026, Honda previewed the upcoming car with the Saloon concept, a wildly futuristic torpedo-like vehicle. It’s unclear just how much of the unorthodox styling will make production, but Honda’s platform will pack a new high-density battery that the automaker claims will recharge from 15 to 80 percent in 10 to 15 minutes. The battery is also supposed to be more resistant to degradation, with Honda aiming for the capacity to decline by only 10 percent over 10 years. —Caleb Miller

Built on the same E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 7 will be closer to the current three-row Palisade in size. Currently, Hyundai has only shown the SUV in concept form with smooth bodywork and the same pixel lighting motif as its production EVs. On a bigger SUV like this, we expect a large battery that could support at least 300 miles of range and we expect powertrains to be similar to those used by the Kia EV9. Hyundai’s three-row EV is set to be revealed by the end of 2024. —Austin Irwin

The Jeep Wagoneer S is the brand’s first EV, and despite sharing a name with the company’s gas behemoths, it is smaller than even the Grand Cherokee. The bodywork is sleek and chiseled, while the cabin looks luxurious with a trio of screens and a host of accessories. Initial versions will pack a 600-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, sprinting to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Jeep claims over 300 miles of range, and prices for the Launch Edition will start at $71,995. Sales start later this year, and Jeep also teased a rugged Trailhawk trim. —Eric Stafford

Jeep currently sells a plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe, but the company has now teased a fully electric version of the iconic Wrangler off-road SUV. Jeep showed a Magneto concept as part of the Easter Jeep Safari—on the surface, it looks like your typical two-door Wrangler Rubicon, but inside, the Magneto has four battery packs with a combined output of 285 horsepower. Jeep also teased a video of a hiking adventure that shows the Wrangler EV driving itself to the end of the trail to give its occupants a ride back. A leaked document showing production plans indicates that the fully electric Wrangler will arrive in 2028 at the conclusion of the current generation and will be joined by a range-extender plug-in-hybrid model. —Austin Irwin

Been waiting for an all-electric Jeep Wrangler? The forthcoming Recon isn’t exactly that, but it’s pretty dang close. Jeep claims it’ll have “impressive” clearances for off-roading, and the EV SUV will have removable glass and doors too. A retractable roof and rear-mounted spare complete the Wrangler vibe. The Recon’s legitimate trail-rated capabilities will be further supported by chunky tires and underbody protection. Locking diffs should help make the most of what’s sure to be an all-wheel-drive powertrain. We don’t yet know how much power it’ll make or how long its range will be, but we expect those details to emerge well before the Jeep Recon is slated to start production sometime in 2024. —Eric Stafford

Kia plans to follow up its 10Best-award-winning EV6 and EV9 with the compact EV3, expected to reach the U.S. in 2026. The production car retains the concept’s funky exterior design but tones down the cabin with a simple, spacious layout that utilizes recycled fabrics on the dashboard and door panels. Powertrain details are still murky, but Kia says the long-range variant will eke out 350 miles from an 81.4-kWh battery. Front-wheel drive is standard—with a 0-62-mph time for single-motor models of 7.5 seconds—but we expect all-wheel-drive versions to be revealed later. The EV3 could cost as little as $30,000. —Caleb Miller

Kia’s electric future isn’t only centered around crossovers—the EV4 concept from 2023 previewed a battery-powered sedan that should arrive in the coming years. The fresh design follows many of the same blocky cues as the EV3 and features an unusual sloping roofline. The cabin also shares its airy, ornate look with the crossover concept, with most controls hidden from view for a clean dashboard. Not many details are known about a future production model, but we expect the EV4 to arrive by 2026. —Caleb Miller

Lamborghini is preparing to bid arrivederci to V-12 sonnets and V-10 ballads, ushering in a new era of electric supercars that offer the same level of emotion and driving gusto. Cue the 2028 Lanzador, Lamborghini’s lifted 2+2 EV grand tourer that looks like the lovechild of the rally-inspired Huracán Sterrato and the Urus SUV. The concept comes with two doors, bulging fender flares, and distinct Lambo styling. It’ll feature an electric motor on each axle producing a combined 1341 horsepower. There’s no word yet on battery size or range. We expect pricing to be comparably expensive to other Lamborghinis—think $300,000 or more. —Jack Fitzgerald

The first electric Range Rover will be unveiled later this year with an 800-volt architecture and the ability to wade through up to 33.4 inches of water. It is expected to share its appearance largely with the gas-powered Range Rover, which is no surprise given that the two models will share a platform, with the current Range Rover designed with EVs in mind. We’re still waiting for most of the mechanical details like power figures and range numbers, but diehard fans can put their names on a waitlist now before the pre-order books officially open. —Jack Fitzgerald

Lexus is gearing up for another supercar, a sentence that demands our attention. Their last attempt, the LFA, made an undeniable impression with its screaming V-10 engine. Lexus’s next range-topper, however, will be electric, with around 1000 horsepower and acceleration to 60 mph in the low-two-second range. Solid-state batteries, which Toyota aims to launch by the end of the decade, are expected to achieve 430 miles of range. Lexus is also considering a simulated manual transmission with a clutch pedal and shifter to increase driver engagement. Pricing will be somewhere deep in the six-figure range. —Jack Fitzgerald

Lexus, like its parent company Toyota, has been slow to enter the EV market, but its first attempt, the RZ crossover, is set to be followed by a new three-row SUV within the next few years. The luxury automaker has filed trademark applications for the name “TZ” in Europe, and we expect the electric three-row to serve as a counterpart to the recently launched gas-powered TX. The Lexus will share its platform with Toyota’s upcoming three-row electric crossover, the bZ5X, and may look similar to the Electrified SUV concept from 2021. —Caleb Miller

Lotus revealed their upcoming 900-hp EV SUV this year which will be produced in Wuhan, China, and arrive in the U.S. sometime in 2024. The entry model promises a whopping 600 horsepower with all-wheel drive. Lotus claims the Eletre will have roughly 315 miles of range and an 800-volt battery that can be replenished two-thirds in 20 minutes using a 350-kW fast charger. The Eletre is shaping up to be the quickest vehicle Lotus has ever produced. —Austin Irwin

Lotus is expanding its lineup with the Emeya, a luxury electric sedan that will take on the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air. The Emeya sports a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette with sharp styling. Under the skin lies a 102.0-kWh battery pack that is expected to return between 260 and 315 miles of range. Two powertrains will be available—a 603-hp base car with 523 pound-feet of torque and a 905-hp range-topper with a two-speed transmission and 727 pound-feet. That variant will hit 62 mph in under 2.8 seconds before reaching a 159 mph top speed. The cabin features a similarly snazzy design to the company’s electric Eletre SUV. Sales kick off in 2024, with the price expected to be north of $100K. —Caleb Miller

Whether or not Colin Chapman’s ghost agrees, Lotus’s future is electric. The brand will need a successor for the Emira, a two-seat sports car targeted at Lotus’s normal clientele, albeit with an electric powertrain. Referred to internally as the Type 135, the new model’s goal will align with historical Lotus products, aiming to simplify and add lightness via the new Lightweight Electric Vehicle Architecture (LEVA) platform. Performance could be similar to the recently revealed Lotus Theory 1 concept, suggesting an all-wheel-drive platform producing close to 1000 horsepower. The radical styling could carry over too and production is expected to start in the next two years, with sales likely beginning in Europe before North America. —Jack Fitzgerald

The Lucid Gravity is the California-based startup’s second vehicle and promises to be a revolutionary take on the luxury electric SUV. The styling isn’t a drastic departure from the smooth shape of the Air sedan. Clever packaging allowed Lucid to keep the overall length shorter than an Audi Q7 while still fitting three rows into a spacious cabin. All Gravity SUVs utilize a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, with Lucid claiming a maximum range of over 440 miles. The high-performance Dream Edition will be able to rip to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. Lucid touts a sub-$80,000 starting price, and deliveries will begin in late 2024. —Caleb Miller
