EVs top the list of the most searched-for upcoming cars on Google.
The Lucid Gravity SUV is at the top of the list in the U.S.

Despite the alarming “EV slowdown” headlines, people are still very much interested in electric cars, as attested by the record-breaking sales numbers of some manufacturers. And now, the search engine, which is somehow also a verb, comes to the rescue with some very interesting search statistics.

According to car leasing firm Xcite, which combed through the search giant’s data, the vast majority of soon-to-be-launched cars googled in the United States were, you guessed it, EVs. The top search was for the upcoming Lucid Gravity, with over 40,000 average monthly searches, followed by the ill-fated Fisker Pear with a little over 18,000 hits per month.

The Pear was supposed to be a radical and affordable new electric crossover with a starting price of just under $30,000, but it never made it into production because Fisker went bankrupt.
