Next year will see the introduction of some new, genuinely affordable electric vehicles as well as a couple of interesting options for the ultra-wealthy. We’ll also see the return of some classic model names. While there are already plenty of electric SUVs on the market, what will make the Chevy Equinox EV stand out will be its price. Prices are expected to start around $30,000 making the Equinox EV one of the cheapest electric vehicles you can buy. This won’t just be a Chevy Equinox with its gas engine replaced with battery packs. It will be an entirely different SUV, sharing much of its engineering with GM’s other EVs such as the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV. The starting price will be for a stripped-down, front-wheel-drive version with 250 mile driving range on a full charge. More expensive models with all-wheel-drive and longer driving range will also be available, of course, for more money. Speaking of cheap, the all-electric EX30 won’t be just an inexpensive electric Volvo. It will be the least expensive Volvo model, period, gas or electric. As you’d expect, the base $35,000 price tag will be for a fairly stripped down single-motor rear-wheel-drive version. Ones with all-wheel-drive and more features will, of course, cost more. Still, the EX30 will be among the most affordable EVs on the market and even the cheapest version will offer up to an estimated 275 miles of range. Inside, Volvo designers came up with clever highly flexible interior storage spaces for this small SUV. The VW ID. Buzz is already available in Europe, but Americans are getting a special extra-large version of this retro-styled van with more space and a standard third row of seats, allowing the car to fit up to seven passengers. It’ll still be a bit shorter, front-to-back, than competitors’ gas powered minivans, like the Chrysler Pacific. That’s thanks, in part, to the fact the ID. Buzz doesn’t need space for a gasoline engine.
