From automakers and energy companies to car enthusiasts and everyday drivers, there is a widespread interest in electric vehicles (EVs). Electric transportation helps the planet and the economy while offering innovations in automobile technology.
2024 was a landmark year for electric vehicles, with global EV sales seeing a 25% increase. A record-breaking 1.3 million EVs were sold in the United States alone, a 7.8% increase from 2023.
2025 is shaping up to be another big year for electric vehicles with Lucid, Volvo, Mercedes Benz, RAM, and others expanding their EV lineups. More luxury and performance vehicles, SUVs, and trucks are entering the EV market, introducing a diverse selection for all types of drivers.
In this blog, we’re listing our picks for the best electric cars coming in 2025, plus a shortlist of honorable mentions that are on the horizon.
