HERE ARE ALL OF THE PROMISES THAT EV VEHICLES WILL DO FOR YOUNew BEVs on the horizon?
Yes. Ford says its passenger vehicles will be 100 percent emissions-free in Europe by 2030. It hasn’t made the same commitment in the U.S., but does sell an electric SUV called the Mustang Mach-E and an electric version of its commercial Transit van. In addition to the Mustang Mach-E and the e-Transit, Ford has plans to introduce an electric version of its popular F-150 pickup, dubbed F-150 Lightning, for sale in spring 2022. Ford says that its Lincoln luxury brand has projected that half its global sales will be zero-emissions models by the middle of this decade and that it will electrify the entire portfolio of vehicles by 2030. GM—which includes the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC brands—has a long history with EVs that began in the late 1990s with the EV1. Then came the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid and the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt, which is currently the most reliable EV, according to Consumer Reports’ reliability survey. GM announced in January that it aspires to have an all-electric model lineup by 2035, and that by the end of 2025, 40 percent of its models will be pure EVs. While that certainly isn’t a binding commitment, it does signal a significant change in direction for the company, which stressed that it won’t be making hybrids or plug-in hybrids, which it considers transitional technology. GM has recently introduced a redesigned Bolt and the Bolt EUV, an SUV variant. On the horizon is the GMC Hummer EV, an impressive-looking off-road truck that is scheduled to arrive early in 2022. This will be followed by a Hummer SUV, an electric Silverado-based pickup, and a pair of Cadillac EVs, the Lyriq SUV and the Celestiq sedan. Hyundai already has the Kona Electric and the Ioniq Electric models on the market, and recently unveiled the first of three planned models in its all-electric Ioniq sub-brand—the Ioniq 5 SUV. Genesis, Hyundai’s premium brand, is expected to pull back the curtain on its own EVs in the not-too-distant future. Hyundai says it aims to sell 1 million pure electric vehicles worldwide by 2025.
