Top 10 Electric Vehicles Coming Soon

Every year, more and more electric models appear on the market. Some manufacturers are experiencing constant, even exponential growth, so the shift to electric vehicles is accelerating. If sales keep pace with expectations, the automotive landscape will change rapidly.

If you want to transition just as quickly, here are ten vehicles that will soon be on the market.

1 — Fiat 500e

The Fiat 500e was unveiled to the media last March, which means its arrival in dealerships is imminent. The model, which will offer 240 km of autonomy, is intended primarily for urban use but still has enough range for you to get out of town occasionally. The 500 is well known in Canada, but not always for the right reasons. Its switch to electric power could give it a second wind. At just under $40,000, it’s the most affordable electric model in Canada at the time of writing.

2 — Honda Prologue

The Honda Prologue, Honda’s first all-electric vehicle, hits dealerships this spring. It is offered in three configurations: EX, EX-L and Touring. The first two qualify for government rebates, but not the third. Only one configuration is offered, with 288 hp and a range of 452 km.

3 — Acura ZDX

The ZDX SUV is the luxurious version of Honda’s Prologue.  Apart from the design and interior layout, the difference is that two versions of the ZDX will be offered (A-Spec and Type S), the second of which will be more powerful at around 500 hp. The range also jumps to 489 km. The Honda Prologue and the Acura ZDX result from collaborating with General Motors and its Ultium platform.

4 — Chevrolet Equinox EV

After what seemed like an interminable wait, the first road tests of the Chevrolet Equinox EV are scheduled for May. It means the model is about to hit dealerships, which is excellent news for those looking for a more affordable electric model. However, we’ll have to be patient before we get our hands on the most affordable version of the model, as we’re likely to be offered a more equipped and powerful model at the outset unless Chevrolet changes its mind on that score. We’ll be talking about this model again very soon.

5 — Chevrolet Silverado EV

Here’s another one that will soon be on the road, as the first tests of the first versions are also scheduled at the same time as those of the Chevrolet Equinox EV. Chevrolet recently confirmed the prices of the initially offered two variants: around $74,000 for the WT model and some $117,000 for the RST variant. The range will be 724 and 708 kilometres, respectively.

6 — GMC Sierra EV

Not too surprisingly, GMC’s twin electric pickup, the Sierra EV, will also be making its debut shortly. This means that General Motors will bring two electric pickups to consumers in a segment starting to come alive with competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning, the Tesla Cybertruck, and the Rivian R1T.

7 — Jeep Recon

Mystery still hangs over the Recon, the all-electric proposition Jeep will bring us this year. We saw the model unveiled two years ago, but news has been sparse since then. We can expect undeniable off-road skills from this model, which could see its doors and roof removed for off-road expeditions. It’s a Jeep, after all.

8 — Mini Cooper

The Mini range is changing significantly this year, with the debut of two electric models. We’ve already had an electric Cooper, but the company is back with an improved version. Several details remain to be confirmed concerning the latter, as two versions have been announced for other markets, but it could well be that we get just one, the one offering the most range. The European version is rated at 402 km on the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) cycle, which is around 20% to 25% more generous than the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) cycle we use in North America. We can, therefore, expect a range of around 325 km. What we can be sure of is driving pleasure.

9 — Mini Countryman

This year, an electric version of the Countryman will also be available for those who find space too tight in a Mini. Many details are still to be announced, but the range is 433 km on the WLTP cycle, which could mean 350 km here. The model is expected to arrive in autumn.

10 — Porsche Macan EV

Finally, Porsche’s second electric product, the Macan EV, will soon reach its first buyers. It will make its debut here before the end of the year. Porsche is reserving two versions for consumers: a base model (Macan 4) and a top-of-the-range variant (Macan Turbo) to meet different needs. In the case of the more powerful model, we’re talking about 630 hp for incredible performance. With the base version, you’ll have to make do with 402 horsepower.

These 10 beautiful electric models will soon be on our roads, and we can’t wait to see them! We’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that the Roulez Vert government program will end in 2027, which means you still have a little time to take advantage of all the incentives currently in place. We’re also pleased that our favorite subsidy, the $600 grant for home charging stations, is not affected by the announcement made by the Quebec government in the last budget.

Enjoy the ride!
