Some upcoming models are truly thrilling, making the transition to EVs more exciting than ever. With numerous EVs set to launch in 2024 and 2025, there’s plenty to look forward to for enthusiasts eager to experience the latest advancements in electric mobility.
From the revival of nostalgic designs like the VW bus to cutting-edge offerings from Tesla that are still shrouded in mystery, the spectrum of upcoming EVs caters to a variety of tastes and budgets.
While some will debut as high-performance luxury vehicles, others aim to fill underserved niches with affordable options.
What unites them all is their reliance on electricity rather than traditional internal combustion engines. Here are 20 electric vehicles we’re most excited about for 2024 and 2025.
