| Top 10 Electric Vehicle That's Expected in the Next 5 Years Gadgets 36T |
Electric cars are the future and every year car
manufacturers add more and more electric vehicles to their range. Everyone is
working on electric vehicles, from
existing manufacturers to new brands like Lucid, Canoo and Rivian. We've
compiled a list of all electric vehicles from concept to production that aren't
available yet but will be soon.

01: Acura ZDX
(expected: 2024) Honda's current
lineup is missing several key electrification elements,
and the Acura ZDX will be the next step in the transition when it hits the
market in 2024. Details are limited, but we do know that this all-electric SUV
will be based on the upcoming Honda Prologue, which itself uses GM bones.You
might be familiar with the ZDX name from Acura's older coupe SUV model, but
this time the EV should have a more
conventional SUV look, as seen in the Precision EV concept. There will also be
a Type S performance variant, which we think will have extra horsepower,
stiffer suspension and a more aggressive
look.
02: Audi A6
e-tron (expected: 2023)
Audi A6 e-tron is a concept at the moment, but Audi says
it's very close in appearance to the
production car. It is based on a scalable Premium Platform Electric (PPE)
architecture that can be scaled up, scaled up and upgraded for different electric vehicle models. It will be
sold alongside the petrol-powered A6 and will likely be the first electric car
we see on the PPE platform, which will form the basis for future electric
Audis.The A6 e-tron concept uses two electric motors with a total output of 469
hp. All DPI vehicles have an 800V charge capacity, and this large sedan can go
up to 400 miles on a single charge.
03: Five Bentley
Models (Expected: 2025)
Bentley sees a major shift from 15 MPG land-based yachts
to all-new models with all-electric propulsion systems. Bentley says it will
replace existing Bentayga, Flying Spur,
Continental GT coupe and convertible models and add an all-new model to its
lineup by 2030. The first replacement is expected to arrive in 2025.
04: Buick
Electra (expected: 2024)
Buick has adopted the nameplate of the 1959 18-foot steel
sled for its new all-electric SUV
already unveiled in China. The Electra E5 uses GM's Ultium battery platform and
is expected to be roughly the same size as Chevrolet's Equinox. A trademark
investigation may have revealed a future
Buick lineup with submissions for the
Electra from E1 to E9. With a range of 300 miles and 340 horsepower, we reckon
the Electra E5 will do just as well as the already available Cadillac Lyriq.
Buick hopes to put its three-dial logo over its all-electric lineup by 2030,
but we should see the first Electra in
2024.
05: Cadillac
Celestiq (expected before 2025)
Like all future electric vehicles from GM, the Cadillac
Celestiq will be built on the Ultium battery platform. The Celestiq will likely
have a range of 300 miles or more.
Dual-motor all-wheel drive is also available, along with four-wheel steering,
presumably the same system featured on the GMC Hummer EV. It also has a
four-piece "smart glass" roof that can change the level of
transparency for each occupant. It will likely be Cadillac's flagship electric
vehicle with prices starting around $100,000.More details to come.
06: Canoo Pickup
Truck (Expected: 2024)
Canoo is an electric car startup from California, and
this is their pickup truck. Right now it says pickup truck only. The Canoo
pickup promises over 500 horsepower and a range of at least 200 miles. It's
smaller than what's typically found in the mid-size pickup segment and two feet
shorter than the Ford Ranger.Canoo says its pickup will be offered in a six- to
eight-foot bed, pre-orders are open now, with
production beginning in 2024. The US military is also testing a modified
version of the pickup.
07: Canoo
Lifestyle Vehicle (Expected: 2023)
Like the Canoo pickup, this five- or seven-seat electric
car is built on a skateboard platform, similar to the platform used by BMW,
Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen for easy body swap bases. Canoo says the little
bus will have a range of 200 miles and up to 350 horsepower, with a starting
price of under $40,000. The delivery
version attracted 4,500
pre-orders from Walmart, while NASA has expressed interest in using the
lifestyle vehicle for launch site transportation
on upcoming Artemis lunar landing missions. Canoo has been struggling
financially lately, but hopes to start production of the
08: Chevrolet
Blazer EV (scheduled for summer 2023)
in the region this year, marking another big shift for
the SUV. The Blazer EV, which will be sold with the petrol-powered Blazer SUV,
will come in an SS trim level that produces 557 horsepower with acceleration
that could leave a V-8 Camaro in the dust.Chevy also plans to offer less aggressive versions that emphasize
affordability and range. While the EPA hasn't certified anything yet, Chevy is 320 miles behind its long-haul Blazer EV RS.
The Blazer EV is expected to go on sale
in late 2023, with the lower-priced 1LT version joining the lineup in 2024.
09: Chevrolet
Equinox EVs (expected in late 2023)
as well as the Ford Escape, Hyundai Tucson and Subaru
Forester. The company hopes to continue that success with the Equinox EV, which
is expected to start at around $30,000 and go on sale in fall
2023.Equinox EV will offer a wide range of models, starting with an
entry-level version with a 250-mile range and 210 horsepower. More expensive
versions offer a range of up to 300 miles
thanks to a larger battery, and
cars with four-wheel drive and two engines have 290 hp.
10: Chevrolet
Silverado EV (expected: 2023)
GMC Hummer EV and SUV gives a sneak peek of what we'll
see in the next all-electric Chevy Silverado. They'll be built under one roof,
and the Silverado will also use GM's Ultium battery and offer up to 400 miles on a single charge.
The Silverado EV will range from fleet-oriented RST models to fully-loaded 664-horsepower RST
models.To fulfill the promise of 30 new electric vehicles by 2025, production
of Chevy's first electric pickup truck will begin this year.
