The EVs We're Most Excited For In 2026 And Why
From the Slate truck to the Rivian R2 to the Toyota C-HR, we discussed our favorite new EVs coming out in 2026.
From a pure product perspective, 2026 might be the best year for electric cars in America yet.
We expect over 30 new battery-powered models to hit U.S. roads in the next 12 months, and we discussed the ones we're watching closest on the latest Plugged-In Podcast. These EVs will change the game in America by being more affordable, higher tech or just plain cooler than what came before.
This week, Deputy Editor Mack Hogan joins me to chat about the Slate truck, Rivian R2, Toyota C-HR, Lucid midsize, Chevy Bolt and a whole lot in between.
Check out the show wherever you get podcasts (find your preferred platform here). And let us know: Which new EVs are you most looking forward to seeing on the road?
