2025's Most Anticipated Electric Cars
Whether you're just considering investing in an electric vehicle or have been an EV owner before and are looking to return to an all-electric driving solution, we're most excited about these 2025 EVs.
Acura Performance EV
The 2024 Acura ZDX was Acura's first foray into the EV market. They sold well, having sold at least 2000 units in 2024. The Performance EV will feature an electric platform that was developed by Honda (Acura's parent company) and is expected to launch in late 2025.
Alfa Romeo Giulia
The gas-powered Giulia is a popular sedan from Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo. Alfa lovers will rejoice that they're revamping the model and adding electricity to its 1000 horsepower capabilities. The Giulia will have an 800V, rapid charging capabilities, and a large range of up to 500 miles.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Alfa are getting ahead of the game in early 2025, as they're set to unveil the Stelvio—an SUV that will have the same specs as their forthcoming Giulia and is based on the same platform.
Alpine A390
The French subsidiary of Renault, Alpine, has plans to enter the American market in 2025. They'll offer a full range of electric vehicles, with their first being the A390, a compact car. Before moving to the A490, a sedan, in 2027 and then a Porsche competitor in the A310, arriving in 2028.
Audi Q6 E-Tron
The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is an excellent SUV option for Audi lovers looking for an all-electric, do-it-all vehicle. The crossover features a 94.4kWh battery, a range of 300 miles and a fast-charging 800V setup that'll take it from 10% battery to 80% battery in as little as 21 minutes. It also produces an impressive 422 horsepower.
The Q6 is expected to drop in early 2025.
Audi A6 E-Tron
The Audi A6 E-Tron is the all-electric sedan, and a step down in size from the Q6 for those who don't need such a large vehicle but still want the performance and smoothness of an EV. Available as either a 362 HP, 422 HP AWD, or a whopping 543 HP (doing 0 to 60 in just 3.7 seconds), you'll not be short of pace in the A6.
It'll be available in Spring of 2025 and prices start at $70,000.
BMW i5M
An upgrade to the much-loved BMW i5 is the 2025 i5M. Complete with fender flares, a mean-looking front grille, and—oh yes, 1136 horsepower. Incorporating wheel-by-wheel torque into its build, the i5M is reportedly being called the "Hand of God" by BMW, so, you know, except something ecclesiastical when behind the wheel. It's supposed to drop in late 2025.
BMW iX3
Not a whole lot is known about the iX3, except that it'll likely be called the iX3 and will feature a new grille design similar to the "kidney" grille of 2002, with an 800-volt setup similar of the Audi Q6 e-tron, but with a 30 percent range improvement over 2024 models.
Buick Electra
Americans who know their cars may remember the name Buick Electra. It was an 18-foot long convertible sedan. Well, Buick stopped making them in 1990, but has revived the name for this electric SUV that's about the same size as a Chevy Blazer.
Known as the Electra E5, it's expected in late 2025, but tariffs on Chinese-made EVs may change the delivery schedule for Buick. Nevertheless, we're excited to see what the revamp looks like.
Cadillac Celestiq
If you're looking for a luxury EV sedan that costs $300,000, then you may want to check out the Cadillac Celestiq. Built by hand and delivering 600 horsepower, these behemoth hatchbacks certainly aren't for the faint of wallet, but Caddy is trying to get back into the game of competing with Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
Let's see how the Celestiq sells, but it better be some car for the $300K price tag.
Cadillac Vistiq
Another (more modestly priced) EV from Cadillac in 2025 will be the three-row Cadillac Vistiq SUV. Sitting behind the Escalade but in front of the Lyriq, the Vistiq is supposed to be capable of producing 600 horsepower from a four-motor electric engine. Scheduled to launch in the Spring, we're excited to see how the Vistiq slots into the existing Cadillac electric ecosystem.
Cadillac Optiq
Slotting in nicely right behind the aforementioned Lyriq, the Cadillac Optiq is a compact option for drivers who don't want the big-and-bulky that we've come to expect from Caddies. Powered by a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, it'll produce 300 horsepower and offer 354 pound-per-foot of torque.
A respectable 300 mile range is provided by an 85kWh battery, and a massive 33-inch touchscreen infotainment system will greet you once you step into your $54,000 ride. Spring 2025 is the likely release date for the Optiq.
Canoo Pickup Truck
Canoo is a brand-new electric automotive startup based in California. Its first entry into the market is simply known (for now) as the "Pickup Truck", descriptive if nothing else. Promising more than 500 horsepower and with an impressive 200 mile range for a truck, the Canoo will reportedly come with either a six or eight-foot bed.
The US Army is currently testing the truck, which could arrive as early as Fall 2025.
Chevrolet Corvette EV
Yes, you read that right. Chevrolet is launching a Corvette EV in 2025. Similar to the 2025 E-Ray that was just announced (a hybrid), this one is an all-electric supercar that takes the best of 'Vettes and puts an EV powertrain in it. Given the success GM had with the Hummer EV (that thing does 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds), we're expecting big things in 2025 from the Corvette EV.
Chevrolet Bolt
Discontinued once, but now it's back—that's the Chevy Bolt. The 2025 Bolt will be a small hatchback with a good deal more than 259 miles of range, and will be based on the Ultium electric platform used by GM. Let's hope the Bolt is here to stay, this time.
Chrysler Crossover EV
Featuring a Level 3 Autonomous Driving capability and a 400 mile range, it's safe to say that you won't have to do too much in the Crossover EV, if and when Chrysler delivers it next year. Comparable to the Jeep Wagoneer S, the Crossover EV is the first phase of an all-electric-by-2028 plan by Chrysler. Let's see how it starts.
Ferrari EV
Yes, that's right. Ferrari is making an EV, too. Ferrari's chief engineer confirmed that a prototype is being tested, but kept quiet about, well, everything else. The SF90 Stradale is Ferrari's hybrid model, which has now officially ceased production. But if the EV is anything like that—watch your wallets and your speed gauges.
Genesis GV90
This crossover SUV from Genesis is expected to borrow heavily from the KIA EV9 and the Hyundai Ioniq 7, offering 500 horsepower and 250 miles of range from the dual-electric motors. Not much else is known about specs for this late-2025 arrival, but according to the recently released Neolun concept car, we're going to see some luxury both inside and out.
Hyundai Ioniq 9
A successor to the uber-popular Ioniq 7, the Ioniq 9 is a three-row crossover that's a lot larger than the KIA EV9, but shares a 215 horsepower single motor, and a 110kWh battery pack that'll go for over 300 miles and can go from 10% to 80% charged in as little as 24 minutes (according to Hyundai).
It is 9 inches longer than Hyundai's largest SUV, the Palisade, promising a spacious ride that's set to drop in Spring 2025.
Jeep Recon
Despite other Jeep EV models (including a Wrangler EV that has Jeep people screaming), the Recon is the only one arriving in 2025. This model from Jeep features a huge clearance for off-roading and removable glass and doors, with a retractable roof and rear-mounted spare tire, completing Jeep's efforts to create a Wrangler lookalike for the EV market.
Apart from an all-wheel drive powertrain, we don't know much yet about the Recon except for that it's dropping early-to-mid 2025.
Land Rover Range Rover EV
What Jeep does, Land Rover will also do. Behold the Range Rover EV. The first electric Range Rover ever. Sporting 33.5 inches of clearance, the Range Rover EV shares much of its appearance with the gas-powered version and not much is available specs-wise, but the Range Rover's clearance alone makes it a serious contender for all of your off-road adventures.
Lotus Emeya
The Lotus Emeya is set to hit the Porsche Taycan and the Lucid Air where it hurts—with a 102kWh battery, sporting either 260 or 315 miles of range, depending on the drivetrain. Two choices for that: a 603 horsepower base model, or a 905 horsepower model that does 0 to 60 in under 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 159 miles per hour.
Expect to pay more than $100,000 for the Emeya, but it's an awful lot of fun. What more could you ask for?
Lucid Gravity
With the Lucid Air already on the market, the Lucid Gravity is the next entry from California startup Lucid. The EV company will release the three-row Gravity in 2025, which sports a range of 450 miles from a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup. It's seven inches shorter than the competitive Audi Q7 and will start at $96,500 in the first half of 2025.
Maserati Folgore Grecale
Italians, watch out. This 2025 EV crossover from Maserati is an absolute beast. Capable of traveling 245 miles on a single charge and putting out 550 horsepower from its dual motors, blink and you'll miss the second edition of Maserati's new all-EV lineup.
Mercedes Benz G-EV
Another G-Class SUV from Mercedes, the G-EV is scheduled to be released in 2025. Not much has changed externally—walks like a G-Class and talks like an electric G-Class, with a 116kWh battery capable of producing 240 miles of range. A high clearance level allows for peak off-roading performance from its quad-motor powertrain that pulls out 579 horsepower.
Mini Aceman
In case you needed a more compact car than the Chevrolet Bolt, we give you the 2025 Mini Aceman. It's 160 inches long and comes with a 218 horsepower electric motor, with a 54.2kWh battery, giving it a rough mileage of over 200 miles.
Expected to drop at some point in 2025. If Minis are your thing, then the Aceman has to be a consideration if you're looking for a small car.
Nissan Maxima
Wait, didn't Nissan end Maxima production after 40 years last year? Yes, they did. But they're bringing it back as an EV in 2025. Look to the Nissan Ariya SUV for styling and performance pointers, which suggest a range of about 304 miles and a mid-$40,000 price range.
Polestar 5
Manufacturers are really out to get the Porsche Taycan next year, it seems. The Polestar 5 is slated to be released in 2025 as a direct competitor to Tesla and Porsche's luxury sedans. A 103kWh powertrain should provide 300 miles of effective range. It's price point? About $100,000.
Porsche 718 Cayman
Excited by the gorgeous Porsche 718 Boxster that blew drivers away in 2024, the 2025 718 Cayman promises to be a similarly exhilarating experience for drivers. A single-motor base model is likely to begin with, producing 450 horsepower, with the 1000 horsepower dual-motor model to follow later in the year.
Expect to pay about $15,000 more for your EV model than its gas-powered companion.
Dodge Ram 1500 REV
Previously known as the Dodge Ram 1500 Revolution, the REV redesigns the front and rear ends of their gas-powered cousins, but features a dual-motor electric engine on both the front and rear models. Dodge are a little behind schedule on the Ram 1500 REV, but they should be rolling off the line by 2025.
2025 Tesla Roadster
It's not all bad news for Tesla as they close the books on 2024 and open 2025 with a bang. The Roadster sedan was originally announced in 2017 and we may finally see it, eight years later. It will reportedly have a 200kWh battery and 600 miles of range, according to Tesla. For this Tesla, we'll believe it when we see it.
Volkswagen ID.7
The 2025 Volkswagen ID.7 is intended as an all-electric replacement for the beloved VW Passat. Its base model is a single-motor RWD that produces 282 horsepower and a 77kWh battery pack that propels the ID.7 for around 300 miles. Complete with a 15.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, the ID.7 is scheduled for release in 2025.
Volvo EX30
Complete with eco-friendly upholstery, made from recycled denim and wool-blend fabrics, this two-powertrain SUV (268HP single-motor or dual-motor AWD and 422HP) has a 64kWh battery that'll do 275 miles on a single charge. Sold at $36,245 MSRP, the EX30 is slated to be released sometime in 2025.
Volvo ES90
A sedan offering from Volvo is the ES90, a mid-sized model that'll replace the gas-powered S90. Volvo won't want to reinvent the wheel, so the ES90 will likely have the same powertrain and specs as the EX90 SUV released late this year, giving it a 111kWh battery and an effective range of 300 miles.
It'll also come with both rear-wheel and front-wheel drive and is slated to be released in the summer of 2025.
