IT’S GOTTA BE AN SUV
You’re going to have to narrow it down a bit.
A SPORTS CAR, BUT PRACTICAL
Audi e-tron GT. Not just quick, but also among the coolest- looking EVs on the road.
THE ELECTRIC ISSUE
WHAT SORT OF VEHICLE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
TWO WHEELS ARE BETTER THAN FOUR
LiveWire. An electric Harley-Davidson in all but name.
ANYTHING SMALLER?
Walt Siegl Motorcycles PACT. Hand-built, limited edition.
FOR GOING OFF-GRID
Aptera. Solar panels all over this tear- drop-shaped ride let you go off-grid, albeit only for short distances.
I DON’T KNOW. ONE THAT CAN DO EVERYTHING?
Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. It’s $218,000 worth of super-practical, all-terrain electric muscle.
A SUPERCAR THAT WILL MELT MINDS Rimac Nevera. Four motors, 1,914 hp, 0–300 km/h in 9.3 seconds. Welcome to a new era.
I NEED TO CARRY LOTS OF STUFF Rivian R1T. If the electric Ford F-150 is a bit too familiar, try the Rivian R1T: a slick, Illinois- built pickup designed for the gorpcore crowd.
WISH IT LOOKED MORE LIKE
A HUMMER GMC Hummer EV.
#VANLIFE
Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle. It’s supposed to arrive in late 2022, but you’ll probably want to wait for the rugged “Adventure” spec coming later.
OH, I DON’T WANT AN ACTUAL HUMMER... Bollinger B2.
LET’S GO SMALLER.
A SEDAN OR A HATCHBACK
What exactly are you envisioning?
YOU KNOW, THE TESLA WITH THE FLAPPY DOORS Tesla Model X.
WHAT WILL FIT MY CONDO’S CROWDED PARKING GARAGE? Audi Q4 e-tron. Compact outside, roomy inside. Built on a new dedicated EV platform.
WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON?
Lexus LF-Z Electrified Concept. It’s rumoured we could see a production version as early as 2022.
I LOVE MY BMW i3, BUT IT’S GETTING A LITTLE OLD
BMW iX. Picks up where the brilliant i3 left off, but with more space and around 475 km of range.
NICE, BUT IS THERE A FASTER ONE? Audi e-tron GT RS. The first of many electric RS models. 637 hp should be plenty.
WHAT ELSE IS COMING SOON? BMW i4 M50. Arriving in 2022. As close as you can currently get to an electric M car.
A LUXURY LAND-YACHT Mercedes-Benz EQS. Has more screens than an Apple store.
WHATEVER WILL EASE MY LINGER- ING RANGE ANXIETY Tesla Model S Long Range. Estimated EPA-rated range of 652 km.
NOT A TESLA? Lucid Air. Should be spectacular, if this upstart can deliver 800 km of range, as promised.
