The biggest EV reveals of 2021 from Tesla, Ford, and more
Even amid a pandemic and a semiconductor chip shortage, the electric vehicles keep coming.
And not just luxury cars. Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia are all releasing EVs. Also coming soon: the first generation of electric pickup trucks.
And that doesn't even cover everything. Here are the biggest EV unveilings of 2021.
Tesla Model S Plaid
Tesla went for speed with the first major redesign to the Model S. The $129,990 Plaid version goes from 0 to 60 mph in under two seconds with a top speed of 200 mph, and has nearly 400 miles of range. The Model X will also get the Plaid treatment, but not until next year.

Ford is releasing an electric version of its popular F-150 pick-up truck. The F-150 Lightning will start at under $40,000 and has a range of 230 miles. While it was announced in May, the first electric truck from Ford will reach customers in 2022.

This is GM's response to Ford's Lightning. The company hasn't shared many details since its announcement in April, but we do know it will use GM's modular battery platform, Ultium, that provides 400 miles of range.
BMW iX
The iNext concept car was the inspiration for BMW's next big EV release. Now known as the iX, the dual-motor luxury EV features fast charging and 300 miles of range. The car won't arrive until 2022, and will start at $83,200.

This is Kia's first EV that doesn't have a gas-powered counterpart. It'll offer 315 miles of range. The $56,000 car won't make it to the U.S. until the first part of 2022. European and South Korean deliveries started in October.
Subaru Solterra
Subaru is going electric. Through a partnership with Toyota (of hybrid Prius fame), the Solterra will be an all-electric SUV available at some point in 2022. This will be the Japanese company's first EV.

Last year was all about the revived Hummer "supertruck." Now there's a luxury SUV version of the off-roading vehicle. The base version won't arrive until 2024 for $79,995, but an already sold-out first edition version will get here in 2023. It'll start at $105,595 with a removable glass roof and crab mode for diagonal driving.

This is the next iteration of Audi's first EV, the e-tron. The newest version is sportier, with a sloped back windshield. It's launching in Europe and will make it to the U.S. by the end of the year for $45,000. That's cheaper than the original e-tron, which sells for nearly $66,000. The smaller Q4 e-tron can get up to 323 miles on a single charge.

The Ford Lightning wasn't the only electric truck debut this year. EV startup Canoo showed off its mini truck. Expected to arrive in 2023, it's a modular vehicle with moveable parts to customize the experience. The six-foot long bed can be extended and the battery lasts for 200 miles.

Porsche's Taycan line of electric vehicles debuted in 2019. In 2021, the German carmaker added a longer version of the car with more space in the trunk and cabin. It arrived at the end of the year for a starting price of $90,900.

The Taycan electric lineup keeps growing. At the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, Porsche introduced two new versions for a total of 10 Taycans. The new GTS cars are just below Turbo level and the GTS has the best range at over 310 miles. Both will be available in the spring: the Taycan GTS sedan starts at $131,400 and the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo starts at $133,300.

Chevy's classic Bolt EV bulked up. The larger SUV version starts at $33,995 and gets 250 miles on a charge. A version with the Super Cruise hands-free driving system will cost $43,495. The EUV — short for electric utility vehicle — arrived over the summer but was quickly recalled (along with the original Bolt EV) after risk of battery fires.

The 2022 Bolt got a redesign and refreshed interior, with a new front grille and revamped front console. It also got a price reduction. The 259-mile version dropped from $36,500 to $31,995.
Cadillac Celestiq
Cadillac's second EV after the Lyriq SUV, the Celestiq is a luxury sedan that will arrive in 2022. Cadillac hasn't revealed many other details, like its price or range.

The Stellantis brands went all in on electric and made announcements for a series of new all-electric versions of classic cars and trucks. One is a revamped Dodge muscle car coming in 2024. Dodge has since announced that it is phasing out its gas-powered Charger and Challenger cars for its upcoming EV version.
Ram also announced an electric 1500 pickup truck, and Jeep announced an electric SUV.
Honda Prologue
Honda is finally embracing electric with its Prologue. The electric SUV is supposed to arrive in 2024 through a partnership with General Motors. But that's about all we know concerning the first e-Honda.
Genesis GV60
Hyundai's luxury brand is going electric without plugging in. The GV60 electric compact SUV will come to the U.S. in 2022 after a release in South Korea. The car will be able to charge its roughly 270-mile range battery wirelessly over a charging pad. Pricing is expected to start around $55,000 for U.S. buyers.
