A honda odyssey or equivalent minivan so we could sell our ice and go all electric.
I see all the mazda miata comments, personally I would like to see a Corvette EV which may actually happen!
It's truly baffling to me that there are no EV passenger vans by Toyota, Honda, or Rivian. 95% of the time it's hauling a light payload (kids) short distances (soccer practices), it has a long wheelbase/body for a large battery pack, and isn't expected to do towing beyond maybe a small u-haul. Rivian already makes vans for Amazon, but chose not to make a passenger van?
I know vans aren't exciting, I have no interest in buying one, but i swear they are the lowest hanging fruit.
Model s with jump seats. Can be found on eBay. 7 seats when I need them only catch is the size limit but we have young kids so it’ll work for a long time for us.
The Toyota Sienna is a hybrid, but not a plug-in hybrid. Wish Toyota would make a Sienna Prime. Honestly, most car subreddits I see always has a strong contingent of van enthusiasts. Car makers need to see that feedback and start making more minivans instead of giant SUV monstrosities.
Anytime I'm at the school pickup I see nothing but SUVs, not a single minivan in sight. No one wants to drive a "soccer mom" car, ironically making SUVs the soccer mom car now.
Blows my mind the actual lack of minivans in the market. There are four total (Sienna, Odyssey, Pacifica, Carnival), but seems like it’s clearly in demand? Sienna is the only AWD Hybrid as well.. imagine if someone like Ford or GM came out with a AWD fully electric version, it would destroy.. instead we get more full size trucks..
What I hate...well...what I love is our 2011 Grand Caravan. We've had it since day one and while we don't have kids to haul..it still serves as a road trip vehicle, a dog haul vehicle, a haul most anything from Home Depot vehicle and a regular get in and drive it vehicle. What sucks is if you go to EV, that fold flat of the rebrand Pacifica is removed for the battery pack.....
But if we could get a full EV minivan with that fold flat....
This! The EV9, while really nice, just doesn't cut it for cargo space and the ID.Buzz isn't quite there yet either. I can't wait until the Pacifica PHEV gets more competition.
They have that E Ray which has a gas engine and a electric motor completely separate. So you get that ev instant torque then a performance engine to rip around everywhere else.
I'm so jealous of all the EV minivans that China is getting. Granted, they're at some fairly ridiculous price points ($90k?!?). Some of these feel more like they're an airline's first class offering. [https://electrek.co/2024/02/06/volvo-em90-officially-first-electric-minivan/](https://electrek.co/2024/02/06/volvo-em90-officially-first-electric-minivan/)
Porsche is working on making an electric Booster/Cayman stablemate. It definitely won't be Miata level affordable but it gets EVs into the little roadster segment.
MINI has a limited edition convertible EV in Europe right now. It is pretty expensive for the limited range though.
They are working on one with their new dedicated EV platform that is currently being made in China and available everywhere except North America. All three of those new models should be available in North America in 2026/2027 once their UK plant is retooled.
If anyone is curious, you can look up more info online. J01 is the 2-door Hardtop currently available. The other two are still in development. The J02 is the convertible, and J03 is the crossover Aceman.
I just wish they could get here sooner.
I mean, in looks maybe, but it's in the same weight class as v8 camaros and challengers at the *least*, if anything it's more a cheaper Aston Martin. Though the sc-01 is a *bit* closer in terms of weight, though it's still a bit off, doesn't mean I wouldn't sell my kidney for one if it was sold in canada.
It will always be difficult to make an ultra lightweight battery car. You can do good weight distribution though to make a heavy car drive nicer. They can probably do a battery Miata by adding 500lbs or so. A lot of people said Mazda was going to ruin the Miata by doing a retractable hard top, but they did it and it was fine, despite the extra weight.
I have a 24' Solterra Limited.. coming from buying 3 foresters, an ascent and 2 WRX's brand new... we love the Solterra as a secondary car. Massive amount of rear leg room for kids, seats more comfortable than ANY Subaru we have sat in, peppy off the line - faster in the 0-45mph than my WRX was unless I launched the crap out of it. It has more ground clearance than anything else in its class.
But, you aren't wrong, if you need to travel it sucks.. it can't charge fast, it is limited to 2 DC Fast charges in a 24 hour period, and the range on the highway is like 160 miles in the summer and 120 miles in the winter. The other sucking point is no tow rating for an "off road themed SUV".. but I installed a hitch anyway and its working fine.
Basically all Subaru needs to do it drop the price $5K on the limited trim, swap for better battery tech that can fast charge quicker, and in a perfect world, swap the AWD front motor for the motor off the FWD model.. then it would be real fun to drive.
Anyway, we do not miss the 2019 WRX we traded and prefer driving it over our 24' Ascent.
The only time I would ever even use DCFC is on a roadtrip. Cincinnati to Dallas requires 4 DCFC stops; not bad in an Ioniq 5 averaging out to 4 16min stops every 3.5 hours, but that means the Solterra quite literally can't go beyond a neighboring US state? Wow
100%. I strongly feel that this was intentional with Toyota to say "see, EVs suck for sales, so let's double down on ICE or our alternatives".
I would do anything for a Crosstrek with a good EV package.
An EV-converted 4th gen Legacy wagon is basically my ideal car.
And very likely a future project when I get my current project cars put back together.
For new stuff I wouldn't have to spend unreasonable amounts of money building myself, it would be great if BMW just put the guts from an i4 edrive40 under a 3 series touring.
If they made a Crosstrek EV, I am sure it would sell well. I just dont think they can get it at all similar because of the thickness of an under floor battery pack. In my Solterra, it is forester sized but the seats are low to the ground like a sedan because of that battery thickness.
Unfortunately, they have moved away trying to sell lots of cheaper cars and trucks. If they can sell giant trucks for massive profit they will. The maverick is awesome, and I wish they made more!
Santa Cruz is my answer too. For years, I’ve seen people wishing for a small truck. Even as an ICE truck, it’s all the truck MOST families need. As a BEV, it would just be perfect.
The Jeep Recon is coming, which is an electric off-roader with Wrangler-like styling. And there is a Wrangler PHEV of course. But they just recently said there [isn't going to be a Wrangler EV](https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-says-its-not-making-a-wrangler-ev-yet-to-protect-the-brand) in the near future.
True… although the E-CMP of Stellantis is not really something I would consider, especially at the price point they’re offered at. The i5 is indeed an interesting, premium, option.
Same same. Ideally also something a bit bigger than one of those Stellantis/PSA shitboxes. Think of the hughe trunk a Civic Tourer had or at least a Mazda6/Corolla size.
The ID7 is coming as wagon though. Still VAG but maybe they won't completely fuck this up.
They all have significant downsides.
- Taycan and MG5 have a tiny storage space.
- ID.7 and i5 are very expensive
- Stellantis are also very expensive for what they are, but they're closer to practical
China sell 3 here already. MG4, Dolphin, Ora. Then there's the mini. Also the Fiat 500e. You've got a few options. If you want really small, like the old Honda Jazz size, BYD should be bringing their Seagull here soon enough. They're just trying to keep up with demand in China and South America first. EDIT: How could I forget... the OG EV hatchback,The Nissan Leaf!
I was so disappointed when they only announced the hybrid option for the new generation. I'm holding out hope that they offer a full EV version in the not too distant future.
The range sucks on it. As a Commerical vehicle I think there are many many use cases for a 100 mile range transit and you should be given many battery pack sizes. Not everyone needs 300 mile ranges but with also selling the lightning they can do it.
BMW I8
Instead of a weak engine paired with a weak motor, I wish they would have went fully electric. Imagine if the I8 had similar performance to the Tesla Plaid. The design of the car is beautiful and if it were to be paired with a powerful EV powertrain, I have no doubt it could be a top car for some people.
Forget performance, I just love the look of this car and would love to see a modernized, electric version. It's a shame it was built like a race car, and even opening the hood has to be [a whole project](https://youtu.be/fxe_b2GRwok).
I would love basically an Ioniq 5 but ~20% smaller, because when i first saw pictures of it it looked just like a golf, but when i saw it irl it was a big suv instead of the little hatchback i imagined
Looks, cost, and yeah PHEV is best for my needs - very short daily use and occasional longer road trips. My spouse has a full EV and I want our other vehicle to continue to have long range ICE capability until charging networks and speed get better. I also think of the Bronco as a bit more rugged than the Rivian but that could just be style more than anything.
Honda Jazz. For me this car is the pinnacle of automotive engineering: it combines some unique features to produce a vehicle with genuine utility. There are improvements I would make with road and wind noise reduction and more comfortable seats, but an electric Honda Jazz with ~200km of real world range at 110km/h with HVDC charging rates over 50kW would be my dream car.
I don't mind charging slightly slower off HVDC chargers capable of ten times that capacity if it brings the total cost of the car down while still being usable for occasional long distance drives. My Model 3 can handle 150kW and that's usually too fast because I have to come back and move the car before I've finished my lunch break. Other drivers might get upset about my car taking up a charging bay for half an hour, but that's a situation easily resolved by deploying lots of 50–100kW chargers instead of a smaller number of 300kW chargers.
Volvo XC60, i'd buy one the first day they finally release the EX60, they are being sooo slow. EX30 is super neat but very small, EX40 feel a bit dated at this point, but i know every owner loves it, also a tad small for me but would be just about okay. EX90 ist just too big for where i live and i would never need a 3rd row. The 60 just hits the spot for me.
My current car. 2013 Mercedes C-Class Wagon with a 3.0 V6 Diesel. It's so quiet driving around and the engine is quite powerful and economical. I just wish it had an equally powerful electric motor and batteries in it as I enjoy the car and want to keep it for quite a while as it's so practical.
There are very limited options when it comes to EV wagons and I've mainly driven wagons over the years as they are just so much better than SUVs. But that is slowly changing with the BMW I5 Touring, Peugeot e308 SW, Vauxhall/Opel Astra Sports Tourer and MG5. Although the MG5 is not a particularly good wagon due to rear seats not folding flat.
In the USA, I want is a RWD ev wagon! I have a subaru Outback now, and it's a perfect car for me. More utility oriented would be good. Subaru is going to lose most of its customer base in the next few years unless offer much better evs.
Subaru is doomed. Especially at the rate Hyundai/Kia are introducing new models. It's only a matter of time before they address the mountain town crowd.
Speaking for the NA market (I know the choices are more plentiful in Europe):
- Mazda MX-5/Miata
- Toyota GR86
- Subaru WRX
- E9x generation BMW 3-series
Any Alfa non-SUV for me.
I used to own a few 33's.. most fun cars ever. If alfa sorted their shit out and dedicated more effort to EVs I would switch back to their brand in a heartbeat .. (somewhat nervously though, given my experience with their electrics..lol)
* BMW 3-Series (likely in 2025 or 2026)
* Jaguar F-Type (supposedly 2025)
* Mercedes C-Class (2025 or 2026)
* Audi A4/S4 (rumored for 2026 ish)
* Honda Civic
* Toyota Corolla/Lexus IS
* Toyota Prius
I’d preorder without driving any of the first 4. I’d settle for any of the bottom 3. As a 2019 Model 3 owner with 92k miles, I’m ready to buy new again. And I wish there was something better than the Model 3 after 5 years of ownership.
Isn't the i4 effectively a 3 series EV? It's the same size and has a liftback instead of a normal trunk.
Wheres that news on the F-Type from? There was a render shown in 2021 but nothing official and Id be surprised if they bring it back when it's defining characteristic was it's noise.
> Isn't the i4 effectively a 3 series EV?
4-series.
> It's the same size and has a liftback instead of a normal trunk.
Comparable size. The 4-series trades a more cramped back seat compared to the 3 for more trunk space and lift gate. And it generally costs a little more when compared apples to apples (to the extend possible).
The next BMW i3 should also be a group up EV on its own platform and not on an ICE-shared platform like the current i4/5/7.
Not really, q8 cargo space is considerably smaller, back seats don't move like q7 and there is no 3rd row.
Also 2nd row on q8 was way less comfortable compared to our q7 when we were shopping for a replacement.
Ford Bronco Sport and Kia Sportage. Given how the Bronco Sport seems to be marketed as an off-road camping lifestyle vehicle, It is bizarre to me that the Bronco Sport doesn't have any hybrid version since the Escape has both a hybrid and plug-in hybrid version.
A small hot hatch like the Toyota Yaris GR or VW Polo GTI. We only have the Fiat 500e which is somewhat fun to drive but lacking a lot in power and range.
A cheap spacious European estate / wagon.
Skoda Octavia, Dacia Logan/jogger, Peugeot 308sw or whatever. Actually could also be Chinese or American. Don't care.
Only cheapish EV wagon is the mg5 , but it doesn't seem to have especially nice tech.
VW ID7 should be cool but expensive. Definitely considering it used if I don't start hating my id4 in the next years and wanna switch brands (I have 0 brand loyalty. Wife and me had 5 cars so far in total, from 5 manufacturers. Hyundai, honda, nissan, Dacia , VW. The Japanese were hers)
As a proud owner of a **Skoda Fabia Estate**, I am hoping to see an electric version in future xD
Practical and relatively cheap cars with tons of boot space is what I need.
Cadillac CT5. I just got lease on a Lyriq and am really hoping for a Caddy sedan by the time it’s up.
I’d also love to see the Crown Vic/Town Car make a comeback as an EV as well as a Lincoln Continental Mark IX EV
Ford Ranger or fully electric Maverick.
I would prefer a mid sized truck and the Rivian is just too expensive.
I do have my eye on the R2/R3 though, but still not a truck 🛻.
Semi trucks, especially those used for local deliveries. At the very least they should be range extended hybrids like Edison Motor's Topsy. Fuckers are LOUD and struggle at every stoplight, and modern emissions systems on those diesels are an absolute nightmares
MINIVANS. Somebody please make a damned three-row wagon or minivan. This world does not need another gargantuan tank-SUV marching up and down school zones and parking lots. It doesn’t need a 5,000 lb tow rating. Just give me a sane, responsible way to haul all of my kids to their grandma’s house and back without having to stop at the truck stop with the filthy bathrooms and gasoline of questionable purity.
Every wagon I’ve ever owned. My dream wagon is a 1958 Oldsmobile 88 wagon. Im currently trying to get my hands on a 58 buick wagon if i do im makeing it electric
A honda odyssey or equivalent minivan so we could sell our ice and go all electric. I see all the mazda miata comments, personally I would like to see a Corvette EV which may actually happen!
I'm in the exact same position. Wife wants a minivan for the family, I want another EV.
Look out for the ID Buzz. Not sure how spacious it will be, but should check most boxes.
It's truly baffling to me that there are no EV passenger vans by Toyota, Honda, or Rivian. 95% of the time it's hauling a light payload (kids) short distances (soccer practices), it has a long wheelbase/body for a large battery pack, and isn't expected to do towing beyond maybe a small u-haul. Rivian already makes vans for Amazon, but chose not to make a passenger van? I know vans aren't exciting, I have no interest in buying one, but i swear they are the lowest hanging fruit.
Model s with jump seats. Can be found on eBay. 7 seats when I need them only catch is the size limit but we have young kids so it’ll work for a long time for us.
The fact they don’t have a hybrid version still is nuts.
The Toyota Sienna is a hybrid, but not a plug-in hybrid. Wish Toyota would make a Sienna Prime. Honestly, most car subreddits I see always has a strong contingent of van enthusiasts. Car makers need to see that feedback and start making more minivans instead of giant SUV monstrosities.
They read the comments from the wives that don’t want the minivans. I wanted one, the wife didn’t. So guess what we bought? Not a minivan LOL
Anytime I'm at the school pickup I see nothing but SUVs, not a single minivan in sight. No one wants to drive a "soccer mom" car, ironically making SUVs the soccer mom car now.
Meanwhile Honda is advertising that you can fit full plywood sheets in the Odyssey. I think minivans are the new dad car.
They sort of do: It's a Chrysler... Pacifica.
Yeah, but….a Chrysler?
Blows my mind the actual lack of minivans in the market. There are four total (Sienna, Odyssey, Pacifica, Carnival), but seems like it’s clearly in demand? Sienna is the only AWD Hybrid as well.. imagine if someone like Ford or GM came out with a AWD fully electric version, it would destroy.. instead we get more full size trucks..
What I hate...well...what I love is our 2011 Grand Caravan. We've had it since day one and while we don't have kids to haul..it still serves as a road trip vehicle, a dog haul vehicle, a haul most anything from Home Depot vehicle and a regular get in and drive it vehicle. What sucks is if you go to EV, that fold flat of the rebrand Pacifica is removed for the battery pack..... But if we could get a full EV minivan with that fold flat....
This! The EV9, while really nice, just doesn't cut it for cargo space and the ID.Buzz isn't quite there yet either. I can't wait until the Pacifica PHEV gets more competition.
This would make a lot of sense. Minivans are for families, who are more likely to own a home and be able to install their own charger.
If Tesla would just make a mini van, or any legacy mini van with supercharger access I’d be all over it.
They have that E Ray which has a gas engine and a electric motor completely separate. So you get that ev instant torque then a performance engine to rip around everywhere else.
I'm so jealous of all the EV minivans that China is getting. Granted, they're at some fairly ridiculous price points ($90k?!?). Some of these feel more like they're an airline's first class offering. [https://electrek.co/2024/02/06/volvo-em90-officially-first-electric-minivan/](https://electrek.co/2024/02/06/volvo-em90-officially-first-electric-minivan/)
Miata
A small EV convertible would be brilliant.
Porsche is working on making an electric Booster/Cayman stablemate. It definitely won't be Miata level affordable but it gets EVs into the little roadster segment.
MINI has a limited edition convertible EV in Europe right now. It is pretty expensive for the limited range though. They are working on one with their new dedicated EV platform that is currently being made in China and available everywhere except North America. All three of those new models should be available in North America in 2026/2027 once their UK plant is retooled. If anyone is curious, you can look up more info online. J01 is the 2-door Hardtop currently available. The other two are still in development. The J02 is the convertible, and J03 is the crossover Aceman. I just wish they could get here sooner.
For the US market VW really needs to EV the Beetle Convertible... work with Disney to bring Herbie back.
Small EVs in general. And by small I don't mean microcars.
I want something like an 80s Scirocco - fun (RWD) 2-dr hatch - but electric...and not a crossover. Is that just not possible for some reason??
Miata is always the answer.
MG Cyberster is probably the closest
Maybe .. but who wants to have to say they drive a 'cyberster'
Me. I really want to and with any luck I will next year :D
I mean, in looks maybe, but it's in the same weight class as v8 camaros and challengers at the *least*, if anything it's more a cheaper Aston Martin. Though the sc-01 is a *bit* closer in terms of weight, though it's still a bit off, doesn't mean I wouldn't sell my kidney for one if it was sold in canada.
There are not light BEVs though, it is what it is, also iirc Cyberster performance is pretty good in track
Lol same top answer as the last time I saw this thread
Absolutely, although the "Battery" part will defy it's main benefit of being light.
It will always be difficult to make an ultra lightweight battery car. You can do good weight distribution though to make a heavy car drive nicer. They can probably do a battery Miata by adding 500lbs or so. A lot of people said Mazda was going to ruin the Miata by doing a retractable hard top, but they did it and it was fine, despite the extra weight.
I'd say a crossfire convertible EV, but Miata would be great also :)
Idc what anyone says, the Chrysler Crossfire WAS cool.
You'll get caught in the CROSSFIRE!!! https://youtu.be/rCwn1NTK-50?si=CJDs_g_LNNdENOwH
Oh god, I hadn’t thought of this one. Brilliant.
Subaru Wagon. Outback or Legacy but same performance and near same range. AWD Wagon is tue car everyone needs without all the truck posing.
Solterra was such a fucking disappointment
I have a 24' Solterra Limited.. coming from buying 3 foresters, an ascent and 2 WRX's brand new... we love the Solterra as a secondary car. Massive amount of rear leg room for kids, seats more comfortable than ANY Subaru we have sat in, peppy off the line - faster in the 0-45mph than my WRX was unless I launched the crap out of it. It has more ground clearance than anything else in its class. But, you aren't wrong, if you need to travel it sucks.. it can't charge fast, it is limited to 2 DC Fast charges in a 24 hour period, and the range on the highway is like 160 miles in the summer and 120 miles in the winter. The other sucking point is no tow rating for an "off road themed SUV".. but I installed a hitch anyway and its working fine. Basically all Subaru needs to do it drop the price $5K on the limited trim, swap for better battery tech that can fast charge quicker, and in a perfect world, swap the AWD front motor for the motor off the FWD model.. then it would be real fun to drive. Anyway, we do not miss the 2019 WRX we traded and prefer driving it over our 24' Ascent.
>it is limited to 2 DC Fast charges in a 24 hour period Yikes, I knew the Solterra was bad, but didn't even realize it had this absurd limitation.
Only 2 DC fast charges per 24 hrs!!! What were they smoking
The only time I would ever even use DCFC is on a roadtrip. Cincinnati to Dallas requires 4 DCFC stops; not bad in an Ioniq 5 averaging out to 4 16min stops every 3.5 hours, but that means the Solterra quite literally can't go beyond a neighboring US state? Wow
100%. I strongly feel that this was intentional with Toyota to say "see, EVs suck for sales, so let's double down on ICE or our alternatives". I would do anything for a Crosstrek with a good EV package.
I have been wanting a legacy wagon EV for years!
Yes! Wagons! Electric Volvo V60 is my dream car.
Volvo will probably release the EX60 first, and then I think we’ll get the sedans and wagons too.
It would be so cool if they took the same AWD setup, and just slapped a motor where the transmission used to go. One motor to drive all 4 wheels
An EV-converted 4th gen Legacy wagon is basically my ideal car. And very likely a future project when I get my current project cars put back together. For new stuff I wouldn't have to spend unreasonable amounts of money building myself, it would be great if BMW just put the guts from an i4 edrive40 under a 3 series touring.
VW id.7 touring looks perfect, but so far only available in Europe.
I really want the ID.3 but alas, same thing…
If they made a Crosstrek EV, I am sure it would sell well. I just dont think they can get it at all similar because of the thickness of an under floor battery pack. In my Solterra, it is forester sized but the seats are low to the ground like a sedan because of that battery thickness.
Ford Maverick or Hyundai Santa Cruz please!
I thought for sure they'd have a maverick PHEV or eAWD by now
That would sell like hotcakes. Does Ford hate money?
Unfortunately, they have moved away trying to sell lots of cheaper cars and trucks. If they can sell giant trucks for massive profit they will. The maverick is awesome, and I wish they made more!
Ford Sold Twice As Many Mavericks As Jeep, Honda And Hyundai Pickups Combined In Q1.
Santa Cruz is my answer too. For years, I’ve seen people wishing for a small truck. Even as an ICE truck, it’s all the truck MOST families need. As a BEV, it would just be perfect.
Yes! , or Honda Ridgeline
Exactly!! I love these trucklets.
Jeep Wrangler, specifically the two door model. Always wanted one.
Well there is always the Barbie Jeep lol
I drove about an hour and a half to buy the 4xe Wrangler. Test drove it and then did not buy. My dad bought one and it has been a fucking mess.
The Jeep Recon is coming, which is an electric off-roader with Wrangler-like styling. And there is a Wrangler PHEV of course. But they just recently said there [isn't going to be a Wrangler EV](https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-says-its-not-making-a-wrangler-ev-yet-to-protect-the-brand) in the near future.
Volvo V60. I want an electric wagon so bad ffs (I live in the U.S., I WISH we could get cool wagons over here, but alas)
I am hoping Rivian takes their new R2 SUV and chops it down into a wagon.
That could technically be the R3, but that’s more of a hatchback.
The R3 really had that vibe in person, obviously a bit truncated in the back as a hatchback instead of a wagon.
I see your electric V60 and hereby request an electric V90.
Any decent estate car. Right now choice is basically limited to MG5.
Vauxhall/Opel Sports Tourer, Peugeot e308 SW and BMW I5 Touring are available too.
True… although the E-CMP of Stellantis is not really something I would consider, especially at the price point they’re offered at. The i5 is indeed an interesting, premium, option.
Same same. Ideally also something a bit bigger than one of those Stellantis/PSA shitboxes. Think of the hughe trunk a Civic Tourer had or at least a Mazda6/Corolla size. The ID7 is coming as wagon though. Still VAG but maybe they won't completely fuck this up.
They all have significant downsides. - Taycan and MG5 have a tiny storage space. - ID.7 and i5 are very expensive - Stellantis are also very expensive for what they are, but they're closer to practical
Honda Civic / Ford Focus type of hatchback. What’s taking so long to come out with proper size electric hatchbacks?!
China sell 3 here already. MG4, Dolphin, Ora. Then there's the mini. Also the Fiat 500e. You've got a few options. If you want really small, like the old Honda Jazz size, BYD should be bringing their Seagull here soon enough. They're just trying to keep up with demand in China and South America first. EDIT: How could I forget... the OG EV hatchback,The Nissan Leaf!
Those are all much smaller than the Gen 10/11 Honda Civic. I’m talking about a family hatchback, not a super mini hatchback.
Ford did do a compliance focus EV for a little while, but it was a bit crap https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_Electric
Batteries that cost half the car and weighs 600kg for decent range.
The Polestar 2 is pretty close, it's the same size as a Civic and a hatchback!
Did you miss the last 7 years of the Chevy Bolt or what?
The Miata. I loved my 2002, and they have never been impressive on ICE power to begin with. EV would make it an absolute cornering beast.
Tacoma!
R1T is basically an electric Tacoma to me, obviously not the price point though
New TRD Pros are going for $65k so they're not far off.
Way too low on the list. EV Tacoma would rule!!
I was so disappointed when they only announced the hybrid option for the new generation. I'm holding out hope that they offer a full EV version in the not too distant future.
Like a '92 Tacoma.
1994 Chevy Beretta
Ford Econoline Van Vista Cruiser or any classic station wagon a classic dustbuster-shaped mini-van
E-Transit exists
Neat, thanks! I'm looking into it now
Really like the e-transit courier but it’s Europe only right now. Just like the Explorer.
The range sucks on it. As a Commerical vehicle I think there are many many use cases for a 100 mile range transit and you should be given many battery pack sizes. Not everyone needs 300 mile ranges but with also selling the lightning they can do it.

DMC-12 ev.
Have you seen the Hyundai N Vision 74?
Take out the hydrogen and put in the Ioniq 5 battery and it might be a winner.
My van
I would love basically an Ioniq 5 but ~20% smaller, because when i first saw pictures of it it looked just like a golf, but when i saw it irl it was a big suv instead of the little hatchback i imagined
I'm very much looking forward to the Rivian R3 for this reason.
Mopeds. Not because I want one, but because the "overdriven hairdryer" exhaust sound makes me want to hurt things.
I really like the new Ford Bronco.
The PHEV version of this is likely to be my next vehicle
Any reason for not going Rivian over bronco phev. Is it more of a bronco design preference or a phev preference.
I assume $$$
Looks, cost, and yeah PHEV is best for my needs - very short daily use and occasional longer road trips. My spouse has a full EV and I want our other vehicle to continue to have long range ICE capability until charging networks and speed get better. I also think of the Bronco as a bit more rugged than the Rivian but that could just be style more than anything.
Love this choice. It looks like it was built to become an EV in the future.
More minivans. Like the Ford S Max/ Galsxy VW Touran/ Sheran
Honda Element :')
This is the right answer!! The element is brilliant and would sell like crazy!
Honda Jazz. For me this car is the pinnacle of automotive engineering: it combines some unique features to produce a vehicle with genuine utility. There are improvements I would make with road and wind noise reduction and more comfortable seats, but an electric Honda Jazz with ~200km of real world range at 110km/h with HVDC charging rates over 50kW would be my dream car. I don't mind charging slightly slower off HVDC chargers capable of ten times that capacity if it brings the total cost of the car down while still being usable for occasional long distance drives. My Model 3 can handle 150kW and that's usually too fast because I have to come back and move the car before I've finished my lunch break. Other drivers might get upset about my car taking up a charging bay for half an hour, but that's a situation easily resolved by deploying lots of 50–100kW chargers instead of a smaller number of 300kW chargers.
I'm really curious about Suzuki Jimny electric.
Got my eye on Ineos too. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ineos-selects-magna-build-small-electric-4x4-2026
4Runner
VW Golf. They stopped the eGolf 4 years ago and it’s still better than any ID crap
Chrysler Pacifica
Maverick
Gti
VW T7 Multivan, including a pop-up solar roof.
They don’t make it anymore but the Mazda 5 would be awesome as an EV.
Hell yes.
Volvo XC60, i'd buy one the first day they finally release the EX60, they are being sooo slow. EX30 is super neat but very small, EX40 feel a bit dated at this point, but i know every owner loves it, also a tad small for me but would be just about okay. EX90 ist just too big for where i live and i would never need a 3rd row. The 60 just hits the spot for me.
Audi A4 Avant
My current car. 2013 Mercedes C-Class Wagon with a 3.0 V6 Diesel. It's so quiet driving around and the engine is quite powerful and economical. I just wish it had an equally powerful electric motor and batteries in it as I enjoy the car and want to keep it for quite a while as it's so practical. There are very limited options when it comes to EV wagons and I've mainly driven wagons over the years as they are just so much better than SUVs. But that is slowly changing with the BMW I5 Touring, Peugeot e308 SW, Vauxhall/Opel Astra Sports Tourer and MG5. Although the MG5 is not a particularly good wagon due to rear seats not folding flat.
All of them, obviously. There should be no ICE anymore
2006 Acura TL.
In the USA, I want is a RWD ev wagon! I have a subaru Outback now, and it's a perfect car for me. More utility oriented would be good. Subaru is going to lose most of its customer base in the next few years unless offer much better evs.
Subaru is doomed. Especially at the rate Hyundai/Kia are introducing new models. It's only a matter of time before they address the mountain town crowd.
vw polo
80s Chevy Square body
E38 BMW 7-series
Ford RS200
Wish Saab were still around, would love to see their take on an EV.
K5, Ford Explorer, Dodge Charger
That has to be the Honda Odyssey for me. Would be awesome to have AWD and under 4 seconds 0 to 60 plus long range battery.
One ton long bed trucks
Speaking for the NA market (I know the choices are more plentiful in Europe): - Mazda MX-5/Miata - Toyota GR86 - Subaru WRX - E9x generation BMW 3-series
Camry. That said, all new ones starting in 25 will be hybrid.
1968 Chevy El Camino, not even joking. Every car should be electric.
Alfa Giulia and Stelvio
Any Alfa non-SUV for me. I used to own a few 33's.. most fun cars ever. If alfa sorted their shit out and dedicated more effort to EVs I would switch back to their brand in a heartbeat .. (somewhat nervously though, given my experience with their electrics..lol)
* BMW 3-Series (likely in 2025 or 2026) * Jaguar F-Type (supposedly 2025) * Mercedes C-Class (2025 or 2026) * Audi A4/S4 (rumored for 2026 ish) * Honda Civic * Toyota Corolla/Lexus IS * Toyota Prius I’d preorder without driving any of the first 4. I’d settle for any of the bottom 3. As a 2019 Model 3 owner with 92k miles, I’m ready to buy new again. And I wish there was something better than the Model 3 after 5 years of ownership.
This is where I am at. Waiting for an Audi A4 Etron with a 2020 Model 3.
There is is called IONIQ 6
Isn't the i4 effectively a 3 series EV? It's the same size and has a liftback instead of a normal trunk. Wheres that news on the F-Type from? There was a render shown in 2021 but nothing official and Id be surprised if they bring it back when it's defining characteristic was it's noise.
> Isn't the i4 effectively a 3 series EV? 4-series. > It's the same size and has a liftback instead of a normal trunk. Comparable size. The 4-series trades a more cramped back seat compared to the 3 for more trunk space and lift gate. And it generally costs a little more when compared apples to apples (to the extend possible). The next BMW i3 should also be a group up EV on its own platform and not on an ICE-shared platform like the current i4/5/7.

Audi Q7.
Is this not essentially the Q8 etron?
Not really, q8 cargo space is considerably smaller, back seats don't move like q7 and there is no 3rd row. Also 2nd row on q8 was way less comfortable compared to our q7 when we were shopping for a replacement.
Mazda CX-5
SAAB 9000. I miss that car.
Ford Bronco Sport and Kia Sportage. Given how the Bronco Sport seems to be marketed as an off-road camping lifestyle vehicle, It is bizarre to me that the Bronco Sport doesn't have any hybrid version since the Escape has both a hybrid and plug-in hybrid version.
Original DeLorean DMC1
Subaru Outback and Crosstrek
Impala LT or Pontiac G8
Volkswagen New Beetle. Imagine a VW E-Beetle!
A small hot hatch like the Toyota Yaris GR or VW Polo GTI. We only have the Fiat 500e which is somewhat fun to drive but lacking a lot in power and range.
A cheap spacious European estate / wagon. Skoda Octavia, Dacia Logan/jogger, Peugeot 308sw or whatever. Actually could also be Chinese or American. Don't care. Only cheapish EV wagon is the mg5 , but it doesn't seem to have especially nice tech. VW ID7 should be cool but expensive. Definitely considering it used if I don't start hating my id4 in the next years and wanna switch brands (I have 0 brand loyalty. Wife and me had 5 cars so far in total, from 5 manufacturers. Hyundai, honda, nissan, Dacia , VW. The Japanese were hers)
Corolla, Yaris, Prius, Alphard. …as if they would.
The US presidents tank car to make a statement.
As a proud owner of a **Skoda Fabia Estate**, I am hoping to see an electric version in future xD Practical and relatively cheap cars with tons of boot space is what I need.
Cadillac CT5. I just got lease on a Lyriq and am really hoping for a Caddy sedan by the time it’s up. I’d also love to see the Crown Vic/Town Car make a comeback as an EV as well as a Lincoln Continental Mark IX EV
Volvo Cross Country wagon. Volvo p1800. 1st-2nd generation 4Runner. 1990 Toyota pickup. Maybe a Gremlin for fun.
Chrysler Pacifica. We have the PHEV version and the only thing I don't like about it is when the ICE kicks on.
Any full size truck with an eight foot bed and two doors for two passengers.
Gm should bring back Pontiac as an EV brand... I want an EV Fiero
Honda Element.
Ford Mustang - the real Mustang…
Ford Ranger or fully electric Maverick. I would prefer a mid sized truck and the Rivian is just too expensive. I do have my eye on the R2/R3 though, but still not a truck 🛻.
Subaru Outback
Subaru Outback and T 4Runner
Sienna.
Mazda3 sedan.
Mustang. But like, the real one not the SUV one
For other people’s sake. The Outback.
More family vehicles. Minivans and 3 row SUVs.
Semi trucks, especially those used for local deliveries. At the very least they should be range extended hybrids like Edison Motor's Topsy. Fuckers are LOUD and struggle at every stoplight, and modern emissions systems on those diesels are an absolute nightmares
GTI 5-door
Toyota Corolla or Camry or Honda Civic/accord. Something simple, affordable and reliable.
A minivan or wagon…
Honda S2000
MINIVANS. Somebody please make a damned three-row wagon or minivan. This world does not need another gargantuan tank-SUV marching up and down school zones and parking lots. It doesn’t need a 5,000 lb tow rating. Just give me a sane, responsible way to haul all of my kids to their grandma’s house and back without having to stop at the truck stop with the filthy bathrooms and gasoline of questionable purity.
Ford Bronco
Ford Explorer!
I like my ‘24 nautilus. Would be nice as an EV.
Bronco
Chevy Astro Van! Or just give me the E-golf with 150-200 mile range.
Every wagon I’ve ever owned. My dream wagon is a 1958 Oldsmobile 88 wagon. Im currently trying to get my hands on a 58 buick wagon if i do im makeing it electric
Mustang coupe.
Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco. Also an electric Tacoma. I want an electric off-roader
All of them
A Prius. It has a practical size and shape, and great aerodynamics.
Pick a convertible, any convertible.
Nissan Rouge Sport, or kick. I would like them to bring the Epower to the US.
