The new electric vehicles are nice, but the selection seems limited to compact cars. Are there different types (SUV, trucks, luxury, vans, sports cars, etc.) of electric vehicles to serve my needs?

Yes, the electric vehicle market is evolving rapidly! In addition to all-electric start-ups (Lordstown, Rivian, Tesla, etc.), major auto manufacturers are transitioning to electric vehicles. For example:

  • Ford Motors vowed to phase out all its gas vehicles in Europe by 2030.
    • Deliveries of the Mustang Mach-E SUV began late 2020
    • E-Transit commercial van will hit market in late 2021
    • Electric F-150 truck will be available in mid-2022
  • General Motors intends to sell all zero emissions vehicles by 2035.
    • Chevrolet Bolt utility vehicle, Hummer truck, and Cadillac Lyriq SUV are due in showrooms in 2021
    • Chevrolet electric pickup truck will go into production by 2025
  • Volvo has committed to making only EVs by 2030.
    • XC40 Recharge compact SUV was released in 2020
