These EVs aren’t for sale yet but are in various stages from concept to production
— and perhaps a few may never see the light of day.
Nissan North America
Over the past decade, Nissan has sold half a million Leaf EVs around the world. As one of the first mass market EVs available in the U.S., it has been a staple of the growing electric fleet. The company’s next North America-bound electric model is the Ariya, a small SUV that is scheduled to go on sale late in 2021.
Stellantis
Fiat Chrysler which includes the Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram truck brands. merged with Peugeot and Citroën
Stellantis says it will bring 10 new electrified models to market by the end of 2021
Jeep announced in February that it would soon have a plug-in hybrid version of the Wrangler and that it plans to offer the electrified tech on all models by 2025.
Honda Motor Co.
Automotive News reported in January that Honda has plans to build a Honda EV in 2023 at a GM plant in Mexico, and an Acura EV in 2024 at the GM plant in Tennessee where GM plans to build the Cadillac Lyriq EV.
Honda signed a memorandum of understanding with General Motors in late 2020 that would allow Honda to make use of GM’s upcoming Ultium batteries—a proprietary technology GM says will allow long-range electric travel, among other benefits.
The company has commited that it is targeting all of its sales will be zero-emission, electrified vehicles by 2040. The projected ramp up to this goal is 40 percent of sales by 2030 and 80 percent of sales by 2035.
American Honda—which sells popular Honda- and Acura-branded cars, SUVs, and pickups to American consumers—has long dabbled in electrified cars. They range from the Civic hybrid, CRZ, Insight, to more recent models like the Accord hybrid, CR-V hybrid, and Clarity hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric.
BMW
BMW got into the EV game relatively early with its i3, an electric city car and the i8 a hybrid-electric, $90,000, sports car.
BMW recently announced plans to introduce electric versions of the 5 Series and 7 Series sedans, and the X1 SUV.
In all, BMW says it will bring roughly a dozen new EVs to market by 2025. Mini and Rolls-Royce also fall under the BMW umbrella, with a Mini Cooper electric model already available. There have been rumors of an upcoming Rolls-Royce EV, which could be called the Silent Shadow.
Ford
Ford says its passenger vehicles will be 100 percent emissions-free in Europe by 2030. It hasn’t made the same commitment in the U.S., but has just started selling an electric SUV called the Mustang Mach-E, and an electric version of its commercial Transit van.
In addition to the Mustang Mach-E and the e-Transit, Ford has plans to introduce an electric version of its popular F-150 pickup, although it has not yet given a concrete date for when it will be available for sale.
Ford says that its Lincoln luxury brand will also be moving into the electric space and that the company will expand the number of EV charging networks accessible through its FordPass app. But, again, a timeline does not yet exist.
General Motors, GM
GM—which includes the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC brands—has a long history with EVs that began in the late 1990s with the EV1. Then came the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid and the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt, which is currently the most reliable EV, according to Consumer Reports’ reliability survey.
GM announced in January that it aspires to have an all-electric model lineup by 2035, and that by the end of 2025, 40 percent of its models will be pure EVs. While that certainly isn’t a binding commitment, it does signal a significant change in direction for the company, which stressed that it won’t be making hybrids or plug-in hybrids, which it considers transitional technology.
Currently, the Chevrolet Bolt EV is the only electric model GM has on the market, but Chevrolet recently announced an upcoming SUV version of the Bolt EV—the Bolt EUV. Both of them will go on sale in mid-2021.
GM also unveiled the GMC Hummer EV, an impressive-looking off-road truck that is scheduled to arrive early in 2022. GM says it will also unveil an SUV version of the Hummer EV in 2021, as well as an electric Silverado-based pickup, and a pair of Cadillac EVs, the Lyriq SUV and the Celestiq sedan. Timing on the latter two is vague at this point.
Hyundai
Hyundai already has the Kona Electric and the Ioniq Electric models on the market, and recently unveiled the first of three planned models in its all-electric Ioniq sub-brand—the Ioniq 5 SUV.
Genesis, Hyundai’s premium brand, is expected to pull back the curtain on its own EVs in the not-too-distant future. Hyundai says it aims to sell 1 million pure-electric vehicles worldwide by 2025.
Jaguar & Land Rover
a subsidiary of Tata Motors, an Indian multinational firm, since 2008.
The Jaguar side of the company has already made waves with its Tesla-fighting electric SUV, the I-Pace, but the company says the Land Rover side will have its first EV model by 2024.
According to an announcement the company made in early 2021, all Jaguar and Land Rover models will have an electric version by the end of the decade, with six new electric Land Rover SUVs over the next five years, and an all-electric Jaguar lineup by 2025.
KIA
Kia already has an electric version of its Niro and says it will have 11 EVs—seven of them dedicated electric models—in its lineup by 2026. The first pure electric model in the series is the EV6.
The automaker says it wants to sell 1.6 million “eco-friendly vehicles” globally by the end of the decade.
Mazda
Mazda doesn’t yet offer any electric cars in the U.S., but it recently started selling the MX-30 EV and plug-in hybrid models in other markets.
Mazda says it plans to introduce an EV-only platform within the next few years, with all its nameplates available with some level of electrification by 2030. However, the automaker has not specified what proportion of its cars will be pure electric, and which ones will be plug-in hybrids or mild hybrids.
Tesla Motors
The Tesla Model Y went on sale last summer and quickly eclipsed demand for all of Tesla’s other offerings. In fact, more people bought Model Ys last quarter [over 33,600] than bought all other non-Tesla EVs combined. … Tesla sold over 65,000 EVs in the first quarter of this year.
Tesla is an innovative American company focused on building electric vehicles. It launched with a roadster, followed by the Model S hatchback and the Model X SUV.
These latter vehicles are known for impressive driving range and technological innovation, particularly in regard to ongoing improvements through over-the-air updates and driver assistance systems.
The Model 3 sedan has broadened the brand’s appeal. The line also includes the recent Model Y crossover—delivering a driving range of 300-plus miles.
Expect to see a pickup truck and second-generation roadster in the near future. Tesla got an early start among EV brands, but it will soon face a flood of new competition.
Toyota
Along with its luxury division, Lexus, Toyota has been building cars and SUVs with hybrid powertrains for decades now. In 20 years of Prius production, Toyota sold more than 6 million of the utilitarian hybrids, which are known equally for their efficiency and reliability.
Toyota has a dedicated EV platform under development, and the company says it will add two EVs and a plug-in hybrid to its selection in 2021, and will offer electrified versions of a variety of models between now and 2025.
Volkswagen
The Volkswagen Group includes Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Volkswagen
The corporation says it will launch 70 pure electric vehicles and 60 hybrids by the end of the decade, some of which are already in production.
VW’s most recent addition is the Volkswagen ID.4, a small electric SUV aimed at mass market consumers. Audi already had an E-Tron model in production, and recently introduced its stunning electric flagship, the E-Tron GT, which is built on the same platform as the equally fetching Porsche Taycan EV.
The Taycan Turbo S EV can get to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, and all Taycans have 800-volt charging infrastructure that should allow them to suck in electrons faster than any other EV on the road
Even Bentley will get in on the EV revolution, and its CEO says all Bentleys will be plug-ins—either hybrid or pure electric—by 2026, and all Bentleys will be electric-only by the end of the decade.
The Lamborghini component has been more coy about potential electrification plans, although the Terzo Millennio concept unveiled in 2017 invites speculation into the company’s plans.
Volvo
The Chinese company, Volvo, has been straightforward about its plan to build only pure electric vehicles by the end of the decade.
Volvo already has one electric model out—the XC40 Recharge—and Polestar, which was once Volvo’s performance sub-brand, is slated to be all-electric soon.
