SHOPSMART AUTOS – CONSUMER INFORMATION – APRIL 19, 2021

HERE ARE ALL OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ABOUT EV VEHICLES In the decade since 
the Nis

san Leaf
 became the first contemporary, mass-produced electric vehicle, plenty of automakers have jumped on the EV bandwagon with their own EVs or a plug-ins, and self-recharging hybrids like 
the Toyota Prius
 are downright commonplace. But so far no major legacy (read: not Tesla) automaker has put all its eggs in the EV basket. Whether because of looming regulatory targets or the increased public interest in electric cars, that seems to be changing. The dribble of EV and plug-in launches has turned into an avalanche of news about accelerated EV timelines and emissions-reduction goals. Only time will tell if the events foretold in these announcements will actually come to pass or if it’s all just fodder for a future-focused investor class. One note before you continue: When carmakers talk about electrified vehicles, they’re counting hybrids, plug-in hybrids, EVs, and in some cases hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles in the mix. And when a single model has several different electrified variants (for example, the Prius’s hybrid and plug-in models), carmakers will count each of those separately towards their electrification goals.
GM
 released the all-new 
2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV
 and revised 
Bolt EV
 (pictured at left) on Feb. 14. 
GMC Hummer EV
 production starts this fall. Sometime this year 
BMW
 will show the first all-electric M badge car, perhaps an M-sport version of the electric i4 sedan.
Stellantis
 plans to launch 10 hybrid or electric models across its brands (including a plug-in Wrangler) by the end of the year.
Jaguar Land Rover
 says it will begin testing a hydrogen fuel-cell prototype sometime in 2021 or early 2022.
Mercedes
 plans to introduce 10 new EVs through its EQ brand by the end of the year, including
 the 2022 EQS
 (pictured).
Ford
 intends to start production of 
an EV F-150
 by the middle of the year. A 
Honda

 EV
 built in partnership with GM, reportedly a crossover, is expected to enter production.
Mazda
 plans to show at least two plug-in hybrids by the end of the year.
Nissan
 plans to have launched eight EVs by the end of the year and hopes to be on pace to sell 1 million hybrid or electric vehicles per year globally. These are the vehicles planned up until 2024. Make It A Champion Day!
