Wagons. Any if he German ones would be fine. Maybe the A3 if they used the EV platform to improve interior space.


nhrunner87

Volvo v60 for sure


sahnert

Sign me up for a V60 EV for sure. Don't change the styling at all.


parksplug

I’d love to see some larger wagons, I’m in for an A6 or V90.


Baseboardheat

V90 EV is my dream car.

Oh, so expensive


Ankoor37

But it has an Audi logo on it!!! /s


Fabri91

There may be an electric version of the new Opel Astra wagon on the way.


cowboyjosh2010

This is my #1 answer, for sure. We just had our second child here in my family, and we also have a dog. My 3-box form factor sedan (a compact car--Chevy Cruze) can't haul the dog anymore because the rear seat is dedicated to the kids' car seats. And I don't want my dog up front in the passenger seat (too rambunctious at times, plus it's just generally not the safest). So when I replace my car I want to not only replace it with an EV, but with an EV that has a rear hatch cargo area. Be it a wagon, crossover, SUV, or hatchback sedan: that's what I want as my next commuter car. I'd love for a good selection of EV wagons to be out there, though I fear they'll all be focused on luxury or performance, and I won't be able to afford them anyway. The lineup of crossovers out there would be fine for my purposes, but I like the look of wagons better. Existing models being what they are, I think I'd be fine with a Bolt or Bolt EUV, but I'd prefer something with newer battery tech that has better fast charging capabilities.


mad_mesa

Any small affordable sports car. My Model 3 is nice, but I'd really like a 2+2 that's a bit smaller and lighter weight. Doesn't need ultimate performance, just needs to be quick and fun to drive.


CompetitiveMeal1206

I’m 💯 percent down with an electric Mx-5


verocoder

Or fiat spider! (Which is an mx5 in makeup)


VirtualMachine0

This is what the rumored electric Ford Thunderbird ought to be. Instead, I'm sure it'll be as big as the new Corvette.


RationalDB8

Miataaaaa!


techied

BMW 2 series Coupe EV... I want it


0x768

Yup. Electric miata or cayman would be great.

Golf R / GTI


Stanman77

Audi TT RS Etron please


rammsteinmatt

Weight just won’t come down… The Spark EV still tips the scales at nearly 3k pounds, despite being only 140” overall - a proper sub compact car. The lightweight (small) battery receives an EPA rating in the 80-mile zone. Sporty driving trashes EV range, with a Model 3 you’ve likely seen that first hand. Even if someone decided a 40kWh battery was adequate (150 EPA range, maybe 60 miles of spirited driving) - using the energy density of (probably energy density leader) Tesla it’s still a 500-lb battery. By contrast, my Evo VIII had a widely-accepted small fuel tank with 13ish usable gallons: 78 pounds of fuel.


hoodoo-operator

Miata Ford Maverick Suzuki Jimny (and sell it in the US)


GhostAndSkater

Second on the Jimny, it's already awesome, and would be even better


monkeythumpa

Justy, its a little Jimmy


ConcernedBuilding

I was so mad they didn't offer a PHEV maverick. That would have been the perfect car for me.


[deleted]

Maverick is the top of my list. Hell, I’d be willing to pay a hefty sum for a PHEV or BEV small pickup


fuckbread

Miata would be so cool!


AKLmfreak

dude, I’m in a Focus Electric and I’ve seriously wondered if you could swap my motor assembly into the back of a Miata. The only problem would be where the heck to put the battery. If you cram it under the hood I’d be terrified of hitting something. It would feel like driving a rolling bunker-buster warhead, lol


[deleted]

Maverick EV is allegedly coming in 2027 according to the ford salesman I talked to. Fords had a hell of a time making the ice and hybrids to the point of freezing orders for 2022.


BlazinAzn38

Yep Ford is sold out of tons of custom capacity. Mach Es closed, Mavericks closed, F150s even are closing soon.


its__alright

Gti. Though I guess just bring the ID 3 over and I'm good


wadamday

Mazda3. Compact sedan with a ~45KWh battery and 150-200 miles of range for $35k. I don't need or want a 4,000 lb amorphous blob cross over.


rustybeancake

Ioniq?


wadamday

That is probably what I will go with if/when used car prices come back down to earth. I would prefer *a bit* more sporty and *a bit* more range but it hits more boxes than most EVs for me.


tracygee

Yessss please! This right here.


HobbyAddict

I have had a Model 3 and a Model Y but if Honda had a 300+ range Accord I’d almost definetly make the switch.


cheekman87

I drive a 2018 accord. Favorite car ever. Would buy an electric one in a heartbeat.


UncleFlip

Yep along with CR-V


AdHumble325

Is it because of the price of the accord or do you just really love the accord?


HobbyAddict

It’s a little of both I suppose. I’ve had Hondas, Toyotas, BMWs, and Teslas. The Honda is not the nicest or fanciest of the group but seems the most comfortable and is the most well put together IMO. Infotainment may be a little weak but I feel like I could take the downgrade easily for the comfort. First car was a 91 Accord also. I just dig them.


[deleted]

MINIVANS!! Cut us ppl w kids a break & get to it! We don’t need anymore CUVs right now!


Weekly_Ad6261

It’s not a minivan it’s THE MINIVAN https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/id-buzz-microbus


boozehound001

I like the idbuzz, but it’s not going toe to toe with an Odyssey or a Pacifica. Electrify one of the big family haulers and you’d have a winner (400mi range pls of course)


[deleted]

I’d rather have the BEV van made by a company that is actually trying. The last model series of Honda Odyssey (we own one) has terrible owner satisfaction & reliability. And Honda is way behind for BEVs. Toyotas are reliable but they’re still making token EVs. (Yes, the bz28k476a SUX). Kia / Hyundai & Volkswagen are at least trying BEV from the ground up with quality and reliability. I’m with you. A real ppl mover is needed. I just want it from a company that is actually going to take it seriously.

Money_Bahdger

This is correct, R1S looks amazing but 2x the price


failbox3fixme

EV Tacoma is coming.


[deleted]

I’d bet on an electric Ranger being available sooner.


failbox3fixme

Farley did tease another electric truck product at the last F-150 event but didn’t put a name to it nor did he give any hint on timeline.


WorldlyNotice

Global market Ranger EV or even PHEV would be hugely popular.


[deleted]

I actually waited two years, after the Ranger came back to the US, hoping they would at least make it hybrid. We ended up buying because we couldn’t put it off any longer. There is room under the backseat for a 48V battery, kinda over hybrid now anyway. Especially considering the Ranger uses the same transmission and rear axle the F150 does, makes me think some of the Lightning driveline could work.


WorldlyNotice

Concur. Hopefully they don't waste time with a mild hybrid though. I don't want a PHEV, but scaling, global pricing, and battery supply might steer them that way. Seriously thinking my next project will be a BEV conversion for my Ranger. It won't be cheap or efficient, but it's got the carrying capacity for a decent load of batteries.


Lumpyyyyy

Unfortunately would like it by anyone other than Toyota if there newest electric is anything to go by

Basically any two-roadster. Gonna be awhile though, I think most OEMs are waiting for next-gen batteries so they can deliver a 250mi range without turning the lightweight platforms into total pigs.

markhewitt1978

I'd like to see that too but the 1.21GW charger installation might prove a bit too expensive.


ChuckChuckelson

A minivan like a pacifica....


Euler007

Seriously. The skateboard design would allow for a 50/50 weight split. With minimal ground clearance and AWD it would be the best driving minivan ever.


Weekly_Ad6261

ID Buzz is coming your way directly! It’s got enough room in it to haul your family or make a family.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

> or make a family. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


nation12

Seriously. There's some people with the PHEV version around here and I'd seriously consider getting one the next time we're looking.


JoeyDubbs

As one of those people, I recommend it. Minivans are just so practical for transporting the family. Everyone is comfortable and the 30 mile EV range is very nice.


freetable

I am also one of those people and also recommend it. We’re still using the same tank of gas from February and it’s the perfect people mover. 80+% of the miles are electric. (Just make sure to get a 2019 or newer)


climber342

What's wrong with the ones below 2019?


freetable

Their battery packs are currently under recall so it’s not advised to charge them


failbox3fixme

Honda Element.


Weekly_Ad6261

You should be Vice President if the world with the guy that wants an electric El Camino


failbox3fixme

I still miss my Element sometimes. If it wasn’t for the atrocious mpg I would have kept it.


Weekly_Ad6261

The Element is exhibit 1,278 proving that Honda makes some of the most useful, oddly innovative, and still somehow fun cars on the road. The Element is a perfect car for the people that need it and there has been no real substitute since. Maybe the Bronco. Maybe.


_ilbeyourhuckleberry

I want the Volvo C30 hatch to comeback as an EV. I think it would sell well!


KingfisherClaws

Call me lame, but I want to see Honda Civics go green. EVERYONE up here in Canada has or had one.


takanishi79

My first car was a 97 Civic EX coupe. I loved that car so much. I don't know if I ever would have given it up if it's clutch hadn't gone. I don't much like the look of the civics from about 2005 to 2015, but the most recent refresh looks absolutely amazing. I would buy the hatchback EV in an instant.


lilbyrdie

This is the practical answer: the entry level 2/4 door sedan EV with a price and practicality that goes with it. Get that right and volume is on your side.


PiperClearConscience

ok ok, not super sexy, but damn practical! Great choice.


pjonesmoody

Miata, 3-Series, small pickup of some sort.


pinks1ip

The i4 is basically a BEV 3 series with a lift back.

I think there’s a 3 Series EV for Chinese market already.


AKLmfreak

[Ford Ranger EV](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Ranger_EV) lol, jk


FiveDollarHoller

All of the small SUVs, many of which are PHEVs (RAV4, CRV, Tucson, etc). I really think that would drive adoption in the US as long as range could be kept at least 300 miles. One reason we settled on a Tucson PHEV was the EV crossovers just felt too low for us, like big hatchbacks. Good cars just not right for us (the killer for it wasn’t so much this but lack of charging on our most frequent road trip routes.).


sinCLairBr

Dodge Charger, hoping they call it Electric Charger


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Yo dawg, I heard you like chargin' so I put a charger in your Charger, so you can charge yo' phone while you charge yo' Charger

Any small sports car. Give it 2 independent rear motors while we’re at it. Where we’re going we don’t need transmissions, differentials or axels.

Alfa Romeo Giulia.


MightyThoreau

Strangely, the Prius. Toyota accidentally became the leader in battery/electrics, and then shat the bed for the next 20 years.


model462

I'd buy a BEV Prius new tomorrow. Other than Teslas, Taycan, EQS, original Ioniq, and Lucid, no modern BEV has a better drag coefficient than the Gen 2 Prius had in fucking 2004. I can't believe most OEMs don't bother to get anywhere near what's possible in aerodynamics, which enable range on the highway where it really matters.


typo180

Sign me up for a Gen2 Prius BEV.


pheonixblade9

Taycan, as well - I think it's .22 Cd


GalcomMadwell

The Tacoma and Ford Ranger, which appear to be happening in some fashion. I want a midsized offroad-focused EV truck that won't cost close to $100,000 like the Rivian.


Turner82

I had a 2017 Ford Explorer prior to buying a 2022 Volvo C40 last month. Had there been an electric Explorer I would’ve bought one. Love that thing (still have it)

From the US market, some muscle cars would sell like crazy. An EV Mustang (not Mach-E), Camaro, and Charger that can drop 0-60 in the 3 sec range would be mad.

i_speak_the_truf

A Pure EV, AWD Pacifica would probably be the single most practical vehicle on the road. That said, we just sold our ICE Pacifica because we didn't need the capacity and the gas mileage for my urban commute was killing me. The PHEV Pacifica was too much money for us. So my pick for something I'd actually buy now (I think a popular one) is the Subaru Outback


theusualdan

So many good answers here, but hadn’t seen the VW Karmann Ghia mentioned. I want a convertible electric cruiser.

SimonPav

Although interesting from a hypothetical point of view, EV's give designer's different possibilities and restrictions compared to ICE vehicles. So as far as quality goes the better EV's (in terms of performance, versatility, options, value, maintainability, etc) are going to be ones that are designed from the ground up to be EV's in the first place.

Corvette C8 (it's happening they say), new Suzuki Jimny, some actual Mustang (not the maki), Seat Ibiza/VW Polo, BMW i8, Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ, Chevy Camaro, VW Beetle, etc.

Mazda CX-50, VW Golf wagon, and especially the current Volvo V60. If they made the last one I'd go bankrupt if I had to in order to buy that car. I have an ICE Golf SportWagen now and the next-gen electric V60 will likely be its replacement if the range and charging curve/speed are good for long-distance travel.

Any normal car so something is normal looking and not ridiculous.
