Future Electric Vehicles: The EVs You'll Soon Be Able to Buy (www.caranddriver.com)

Electric cars are the future, and each year we've seen automakers add more EVs to their lineups. Everyone is working on electric vehicles, from well-established existing manufacturers to new names such as Lucid, Canoo, and Rivian. We've compiled a list of every electric vehicle, from concept to production, that isn't available yet but will be soon.

This whole list just looks like one premium car after the other. In between, there are some little gems like this:

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. [...] Canoo has faced financial difficulties of late, and while it has begun building commercial vans, the Lifestyle Vehicle's fate is unclear. —Caleb Miller

Finally a car that isn't an SUV - and then it's unclear if it is ever released or not :(

We honestly need the Chinese EVs to fill in the entry level EVs market.

Japan has a long history of supplying affordable cars to the U.S., but they haven't yet started offering low-cost EVs.

For some god forsaken reason they decided to invest in unproven hydrogen ICEs and now have to catch up. This is great news for China and to some extent South Korea (and possibly new players internationally like India)

They (Toyota) could be decades ahead, they started their first hybrid cars almost 30 years ago.

It looks like they are going to skip this market for now.

While it's still too many SUVs, I'm glad to see at least a couple small/sporty cars on that list

Wow they didn't even mention Aptera :/

Wish there was more than 2 upcoming van style options. And of both, the VW and Canoo have very opinionated styles. I recently leased an Ionic 5 and it’s a good car but with two car seats the middle seat is pretty much unusable (true of any mid-size suv).

It's kinda similar to Canoo but Telo seems pretty sweet. I didn't see them mentioned in the article though I didn't read the whole thing.

I'm sure there will be another batch of Fiskers in there somewhere, made by a new Fisker that's totally different than those other two Fiskers that failed.

The estimated release dates listed in this are a total joke. Some even claim “summer 2024” and aren’t close to existing. They’re still talking about Faraday Future, for fuck’s sake. Garbage article full of exaggerations and awful speculation.

Car and Driver. HA!
