New Electric Cars: Every 2026 Model Unveiled So Far

Last updated: October 14th, 2026. This page tracks every significant new electric vehicle (EV) unveiled or revealed for the US market, and it gets a refresh every month as new models break cover. This check adds two British luxury EVs: Jaguar unveiled the Type 01 in New York on October 6 at an anticipated $130,500 starting price, with orders opening in early 2027, and the Range Rover Electric opened for US orders at $138,000. BMW priced two more Neue Klasse models, the i3 sedan at $61,500 and the iX4 at $66,200, and Bentley revealed the Torcal, its first EV. Three more US prices are now public: the Lexus TZ starts at $64,050 including its $1,550 delivery fee, the electric Mercedes-Benz GLC at $63,500 before a $1,450 destination charge, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV at $37,745 before a $1,995 destination fee. The BMW iX3 and the Kia EV3 are now delivering in the US. Two dates moved the other way: Toyota now calls the Highlander EV a 2028 model with sales from early 2027, and Volvo lists US deliveries of the EX60 P10 for fall 2026 and the cheaper P6 for 2027. Tesla postponed its Roadster unveiling from October 1 to October 15, citing the weather. Prices and specs below are transcribed from manufacturer releases and, where the text says so, trade-press reports, with the range-testing standard labeled on every figure. Global-only models are flagged where they appear.

The spread right now is genuinely absurd, in the best way. The cheapest new EV announced in America is a $24,950 pickup with crank windows. The most expensive is Ferrari’s first electric car, priced from 550,000 euros at its European launch. In between sit roughly two dozen new or redesigned EVs, and with the federal EV tax credit gone since September 30, 2025, every one of them has to win buyers on sticker price and capability alone. That pressure is visible in the numbers below.

A note on reading the table: On sale means you can buy one at a dealer today. Orders open means the configurator is live but deliveries have not started. Priced means the maker has published a US price and an arrival window but has not announced that deliveries have begun. Unveiled means the production car is public but you cannot order it yet. Delayed means the maker has publicly pushed its own timeline. Range figures use three different standards: an official EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) rating, a manufacturer estimate, or the European WLTP cycle, which runs more optimistic than EPA numbers. The table labels which is which; a WLTP number next to an EPA number is not a fair fight.

Newest electric cars unveiled: every 2026 EV at a glance

*Rivian R2 Performance Launch Package, the version delivering now (sold “for limited time”); the $53,990 Premium follows in late 2026 and the $48,490 Standard (345 mi, Rivian est.) in the first half of 2027. **Bolt LT price including the $1,395 destination freight charge. ***Lexus TZ price including the $1,550 delivery, processing and handling fee. Other prices in this table exclude destination fees; Toyota and Subaru prices are for the 2027 model year.

Where a price says TBA, the manufacturer has not announced one, and any dollar figure you see elsewhere for that model is a media estimate. Every number here is sourced in the model sections below.

Revolutionary electric cars revealed in 2026

Every launch deck says “revolutionary”; this section applies a test. The bars are three: a genuine first (the first electric BMW assembled in America; Ferrari’s first production EV), a price floor (Kia’s $29,890 EV3 joins the Leaf and Bolt under $30,000), or a number you can measure (a compact Mercedes rated at 408 WLTP miles from an 85-kWh pack). The sections say which bar a car clears, or plainly when it clears none, and every figure keeps its testing standard attached, because a manufacturer estimate and an EPA rating are not the same currency.

BMW iX5: the first electric BMW built in America

BMW picked its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant to world-premiere the new X5 family on June 30, 2026, and the headline act was the iX5 60 xDrive, the first battery-electric X5. The spec sheet reads like BMW emptied the Neue Klasse parts bin into the X5: a 144-kWh (kilowatt-hour) net battery, 570 horsepower from two motors, and an estimated 435 miles of range, though that figure is BMW’s preliminary estimate using EPA procedures rather than a final EPA rating. Charging peaks at 460 kW, good for a claimed 10-to-80-percent charge in 22 minutes.

The pricing is arguably the bigger story. At a $79,800 MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) before the $1,450 destination charge, the electric version costs $7,700 more than the equivalent gas X5 40 xDrive. BMW confirmed the iX5 will be the first fully electric BMW assembled in the US, with the market launch following in the first quarter of 2027.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV: a Leaf in Mitsubishi clothing

Mitsubishi released the first images of the 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV on June 9, 2026, a subcompact electric SUV it will sell in the US and Canada starting in the second half of 2026. There is no mystery about the hardware: Mitsubishi’s own release says the vehicle is “supplied by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Nissan) on an OEM basis” and based on the new-generation Nissan Leaf, with Mitsubishi-specific bumpers, grille, lighting, and wheels.

The details landed on October 6. Mitsubishi says the 2027 Eclipse Sportback “will launch in the U.S. in October, starting at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $37,745,” plus a $1,995 destination fee, with a single option, the $2,600 Technology Package. It quotes “up to 282 miles of range on a single charge from its 75 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery,” and fast-charges through a NACS port. That is not the bargain the Leaf connection suggested: the Leaf S+ starts at $29,990 with the same 75-kWh battery size and an EPA-estimated 303 miles, so the Mitsubishi asks $7,755 more for its badge and equipment.

Ferrari Luce: Maranello finally goes electric

Ferrari unveiled its first production electric car in Rome on May 25, 2026, and broke two of its own rules at once: the Luce has four doors and five seats, which Ferrari calls “a first for the Prancing Horse,” while noting in the same release that it is “the second four-door Ferrari, and the first with five seats” (the Purosangue got there first on doors). The four-motor powertrain produces 1,050 cv (about 1,035 horsepower) in Launch Control mode, hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, and draws from a 122-kWh battery pack designed and built in Maranello. Ferrari quotes a range “in excess of 530 km” (about 329 miles), a figure the spec sheet explicitly marks as an estimate still under homologation, so treat it as provisional.

Ferrari’s press materials skip the price entirely. Launch coverage put the starting figure at 550,000 euros. Ferrari has published neither a US price nor a US delivery date; WardsAuto, in its Bentley coverage, put the Luce’s US starting price at $640,000. The Luce matters here less as a purchase option and more as a signal: one of the last performance-brand holdouts now builds an EV, and it chose a family-shaped one.

Lexus TZ: the three-row Lexus EV, now priced

Lexus revealed the 2027 TZ on May 6, 2026, its first three-row all-electric SUV, and its release now says the vehicle is “Expected to go on Sale in Late 2026.” Two battery options (76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh) feed standard DIRECT4 all-wheel drive, and the US model carries a native NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, which Electrek says gives access to Tesla Superchargers without a separate adapter.

The prices arrived in September, added to that same May release: $64,050 for the TZ Premium AWD, $72,050 for the Premium Touring and $80,550 for the Luxury, and unlike most prices on this page, those figures include the $1,550 delivery, processing and handling fee. Electrek reports EPA-estimated ranges of 253 miles for the small-battery Premium, 315 miles for the Premium Touring and 279 miles for the Luxury, and a combined 308 horsepower, “considerably less than the estimated 402 horsepower Lexus initially said.” Only the base Premium is listed as arriving in late 2026; the other two grades follow in early 2027. Lexus’s own release still carries its May headline of “A Manufacturer-Estimated 300 Mile Range Rating on Select Grade,” so expect the per-grade EPA figures to be confirmed on the window sticker. Its mechanically related Toyota sibling, the Highlander EV below, now starts sales in early 2027, and Electrek reports that the TZ will beat both the Highlander and the related Subaru Getaway to market. If a three-row electric family hauler is exactly what you are waiting for, the three-row family picks page covers what you can buy today.

Kia EV3: the US version is on sale

The US-spec 2027 EV3 made its North American debut on April 1, 2026 at the New York International Auto Show, when Kia promised a US on-sale date in late 2026. The American version gets five trims (Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT), a choice of 58.3-kWh or 81.4-kWh batteries, and a native NACS port on the front passenger side. Kia estimates up to 220 miles from the small battery, and its August pricing announcement quotes “up to 321 miles of all-electric range” for the front-drive Wind and Land trims. The EPA now lists the 2027 EV3 at 221 miles for the Standard Range front-drive car, 321 miles for the Long Range front-drive car and 280 miles for the Long Range all-wheel-drive car.

The pricing wait ended on August 12, and this is the cheapest car revealed in this section: Kia says “pricing starts at $29,890 MSRP (plus $1,495 destination)” for the base Light FWD, with the ladder climbing through the $34,990 Wind FWD and $38,490 Land FWD to a $45,890 EV3 GT at the top. That sticker walks straight into the affordability gap this market has complained about for years, up against the Bolt and Leaf below. It arrived ahead of that plan: Electrek reports the EV3 went on sale in mid-August, and Kia America’s September sales release calls it “recently launched,” with 514 sold that month. Buyers weighing that segment can compare today’s options on the under-$40k EV picks page.

Toyota Highlander EV: now a 2028 model, on sale in early 2027

Toyota revealed the next-generation Highlander on February 10, 2026 with a battery-electric powertrain standard, making it the brand’s first three-row electric SUV for the US. In July, Toyota confirmed it was making “additional adjustments to the vehicle prior to launch,” and the original plan to start sales in late 2026 went away. Early September brought a Nikkei report of a slip to “2027 or later,” and Electrek reported that a Toyota US spokesperson told CarScoops the launch had not changed from 2027, as announced in July.

Toyota then rewrote its own launch release, which now carries an “Updated September 25, 2026” line and calls the car the 2028 Highlander. The new timing: the XLE AWD and Limited AWD with the 95.8-kWh battery “are expected to begin in early 2027 as 2028 model year vehicle,” and the front-drive XLE with the 77.0-kWh battery follows in mid-2027. The release now lists manufacturer-estimated ratings of 287 miles for the XLE FWD, 270 miles for the XLE AWD with the small battery and 315 miles for both 95.8-kWh versions. Power is 221 horsepower for front drive and 338 for all-wheel drive, and the MSRP “will be announced closer to on-sale date.” That leaves the Lexus TZ above as the Toyota group’s only three-row EV still listed for late 2026; Electrek reported in September that the related Subaru Getaway (in the coming-next table) has been delayed too.

Volvo EX60: orders open, US deliveries slipping

Volvo world-premiered the EX60 midsize electric SUV in January 2026, then opened US order books in May with a starting MSRP of $58,400 for the P6 Plus, excluding a $1,395 destination fee. The range fine print resolved in July, mostly in Volvo’s favor: the EX60 P10 AWD now carries an official EPA-estimated 330 miles and the P6 an EPA-estimated 307, with the optional 22-inch wheels trimming those to 312 and 295. The later P12 AWD variant still targets an estimated 400 miles, and that one is not yet EPA-certified.

The EX60 is also the first Volvo with a native NACS port, and its 800-volt platform can add up to 173 miles of range in 10 minutes on a DC fast charger in the P12 (165 miles in the P10). The first customer cars were delivered in Sweden in July. The US timing is now split by version. Volvo’s US model page, read on October 14, says “Customer deliveries expected to start in Fall 2026” for the P10 AWD but “in 2027” for both the P6 and the P12, while still inviting shoppers to “be the first to hear when EX60 is available to test drive” and advertising a lease on a 2027 EX60 P10 Plus for orders placed between October 1 and November 2, 2026. On October 14, Electrek, relaying Automotive News, reported a late-September dealer memo that delayed customer deliveries; a Volvo spokesperson said EX60 availability will “remain limited” in the short term and that Volvo expects to send “a significant number” of EX60s to dealers in early 2027. So the $58,400 starting car on the order form is a P6 that Volvo itself lists for 2027 delivery. The P10 AWD Plus that Volvo lists for fall delivery starts at $60,750. Against the BMW iX3’s $61,500 and official EPA rating of up to 434 miles on its no-cost summer tires, which buyers can already take delivery of, the cheapest EX60 is $3,100 less, and a wait.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Electric: 408 WLTP miles from a compact

Revealed July 29, 2026, the new GLA clears the measurable-number bar: Mercedes’ redesigned compact has a WLTP range of up to 408 miles (657 km), as Electrek reports it, from an 85-kWh battery, an efficiency play rather than a bigger pack, with DC charging at up to 320 kW adding a claimed 167 miles in about 10 minutes. Launch coverage reports two electric versions, a 268-horsepower GLA 250+ and a 349-horsepower GLA 350 4MATIC, both on the same 85-kWh pack.

Temper the headline number twice. WLTP miles shrink under EPA testing, so the US window sticker will read lower. And the wait is long: Electrek reports the new GLA “will begin arriving at dealerships in the second half of 2027,” with no US price announced. The $45,000 figure circulating is a media estimate, not a Mercedes number.

Genesis GV90: the flagship with a 123.5-kWh battery

Genesis unveiled its first full-size flagship SUV, the GV90, at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on August 19, 2026, and it clears the measurable-number bar on the spec sheet alone: a 123.5-kWh battery that Genesis calls “the largest capacity among Hyundai Motor Group’s electric vehicles.” The seven-seat version is quoted at approximately 500 km (about 311 miles) of range on Genesis’ own internal testing, not a certified cycle, with a combined 490 kW (about 657 horsepower) and 800 Nm of torque from its two motors, and a 10-to-80-percent charge in 22 minutes on a 350-kW charger. It rides on the eMP platform Genesis reserves for its flagship, stretches 5,285 mm long on a 3,245 mm wheelbase, and the GV90 Neolun variant pairs coach doors with no visible B-pillar, which Genesis calls the Neolun Arch Gate, with a four-seat Executive Suite configuration.

The US details are thinner. Genesis’ American site lists the GV90 as a 2028 model “arriving early 2027” with no price, and the launch release names neither a US sticker nor an on-sale date, so the six-figure estimates circulating are guesses. Anyone cross-shopping a three-row luxury EV today can start with the three-row family picks page.

Jaguar Type 01: 1,015 horsepower and a $130,500 price

Jaguar unveiled the Type 01 in New York on October 6, 2026, a four-door electric grand tourer that clears the measurable-number bar on power alone: Jaguar calls it the “Most powerful Jaguar road car, with up to 1,015HP (1,030PS) and 1,007 lb.-ft,” good for 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. A 118-kWh usable battery on an 850-volt architecture gives up to 400 miles of range, and Jaguar also quotes up to 320 miles “during sustained highway driving at 75 miles per hour.” Both are Jaguar’s own estimates, not EPA ratings, and the US car gets NACS compatibility with Supercharger access.

Jaguar’s US release gives a “starting MSRP” of $130,500 and says orders open in early 2027, with first client deliveries expected in the second half of that year. Its premiere release calls that price “anticipated,” and CNBC reported that Jaguar confirmed “a minimum price tag of $130,000 in North America,” so check the final number when orders open. The interior had already been shown in August.

Range Rover Electric: US orders open from $138,000

Range Rover opened US orders for its first electric model on September 2, 2026. The release calls it “the first ever electric Range Rover,” built in Solihull, and lists it “from an MSRP of $138,000 in the US.” Two 260-kW motors make up to 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft, a 118.5-kWh usable battery on 800-volt technology charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 22 minutes, and Range Rover quotes “up to 333 miles (EPA)” from its own tests under US rules. Orders cover short- and long-wheelbase bodies in SE, Autobiography and three SV versions, but the release gives no US delivery date.

BMW i3 and iX4: two more Neue Klasse EVs with US prices

BMW added two electric models to its US price list within eight days. The new i3, first shown by BMW in March and given US prices on September 29, 2026, is in BMW’s words “the first fully electric BMW 3 Series built on the Neue Klasse architecture”: the i3 50 xDrive costs $61,500 plus $1,350 destination and handling, makes 463 horsepower, and carries “an estimated maximum range of 446–468 miles,” a preliminary figure from BMW’s own testing to EPA procedures. Its US launch “will commence in the first quarter of 2027.”

The iX4, announced on October 7, is a Neue Klasse SUV coupe: the iX4 50 xDrive “is priced from $66,200 plus destination and handling,” with 463 horsepower, a 112.2-kWh usable battery, 400-kW charging and a preliminary estimated range of up to 428 miles. BMW says it “will launch in March 2027” and, like the iX3, will be built in Debrecen, Hungary. Neither range figure is an EPA rating yet, so the iX3’s official 434 miles remains the number to compare against.

Bentley Torcal: Bentley’s first EV

Bentley gave the Torcal its global debut in London on September 23, 2026, followed by a US debut in Los Angeles, and calls it the brand’s “first fully electric model line.” Bentley quotes a range of “up to 375 miles (600 km WLTP)” from a 113-kWh battery, with a 10-to-80-percent charge at 400 kW quoted as 16 minutes in one part of the release and “just under 20 minutes” in another. No Bentley release carries a US price; WardsAuto reports that Bentley’s head of product communications told it by email the Torcal will start at $218,000 in the US and the Torcal S at $258,000. Bentley has not published a US delivery date.

Revealed earlier: some on the road, some still waiting

Jeep Recon: orders open at last

Jeep revealed the all-electric 2026 Recon on November 18, 2025 with a starting MSRP of $65,000 excluding a $1,995 destination charge: 670 horsepower (Electrek’s June report says 650), a 100-kWh battery, and Trail Rated off-road hardware including 33-inch tires on the launch trim. Production was due to start early in 2026; order books opened in June 2026, with the top Moab trim the only one available, at $66,995 including destination.

The number that stings: the Recon Moab’s official EPA-estimated range is 222 miles, well short of the “up to 250 miles” Jeep estimated for the Recon at the reveal and of the roughly 230 miles Electrek says Stellantis had projected for the Moab. That is the trade for the doors-off silhouette and off-road tires. Customer cars are now moving: a Jeep spokesperson told CarBuzz that “retail production” began in late September and that vehicles “are expected to arrive in dealerships in November,” with initial volumes “intentionally limited.”

Slate Truck: the $24,950 bet on less

Slate Auto unveiled its two-seat electric pickup in April 2025 with a pitch of “under $20,000 after federal incentives.” The federal credit died five months later, and with it the headline price: the production Slate Truck was announced at $24,950 in June 2026, with the SUV versions (Squareback and Fastback) starting at $29,950. The consolation is a better vehicle than promised. The production spec grew to a 65-kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery with an estimated 205 miles of range (Slate’s approximation of the EPA cycle, not an official rating), a 2,000-pound tow rating, and a NACS charging port.

Slate says more than 180,000 reservation holders are waiting, preorders are open at $300, and first deliveries from its Warsaw, Indiana plant are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. A September 30 Slate release repeated that timing, “First deliveries are expected Q4 2026,” and the price is unchanged. Some state programs can still push the effective price under $20,000 for eligible buyers. For how the post-credit market got here, see the site’s coverage of the post-incentive EV fire sale.

Rivian R2: deliveries started June 9

The R2 was unveiled back in March 2024 (alongside the smaller R3, which sits in the coming-next table below), but 2026 is the year the R2 became real. Rivian announced the full lineup on March 12, 2026: the Performance trim with Launch Package at $57,990 (656 horsepower, EPA-estimated 330 miles), the $53,990 Premium arriving late 2026, and the $48,490 Standard following in 2027 with a Rivian-estimated 345 miles. First customer deliveries, order invitations, and demo drives began June 9, 2026.

R2 deliveries are already contributing: the company delivered 12,194 vehicles in the second quarter, beating its own 9,000-to-11,000 outlook, and raised full-year guidance to 65,000-70,000 vehicles, crediting R1, EDV, and the introduction of R2 deliveries. The third quarter went further, with 19,248 vehicles delivered and that 65,000-to-70,000 guidance reaffirmed; the October 2 release does not break out R2 numbers. The $53,990 Premium is still listed for late 2026. A native NACS port is standard across the lineup. Owners of Rivian’s earlier vehicles may also want the site’s report on the Gen2 R1 battery-management calibration issue.

Porsche Cayenne Electric: delivering worldwide, US handovers unconfirmed

Porsche world-premiered the electric Cayenne on November 19, 2025 with a US MSRP of $109,000, rising to $163,000 for the 1,139-horsepower Turbo, before a $2,350 delivery fee. The 113-kWh battery charges at up to 400 kW on its 800-volt system, taking the pack from 10 to 80 percent in under 16 minutes, and, properly equipped, it tows up to 7,716 pounds. Range is quoted only on the European WLTP cycle so far, at up to 642 km (about 399 miles); no EPA rating has been published, and EPA numbers typically land well below WLTP.

Porsche’s US launch release said “Deliveries are expected to begin at the end of Summer 2026.” Customer deliveries of the Cayenne Electric began at the end of June, and Porsche’s nine-month report counts 7,002 delivered worldwide since that summer launch, without a country split. The US picture is less clear: Porsche Cars North America’s third-quarter release, dated October 9, credits “strong demand for the Porsche Cayenne” but does not mention the electric version, and Porsche has not announced that US customer cars have been handed over. The lineup filled out while buyers waited: Porsche announced a Cayenne S Electric in March at a $126,300 MSRP, with 400 kW (536 horsepower) rising to 490 kW with Launch Control, and added the Cayenne Coupe Electric in April at $113,800, $131,200 for the S Coupe and $168,000 for the Turbo Coupe, all before the $2,350 delivery fee. If you have one on order, your dealer is the source for a delivery date.

BMW iX3: 434 EPA miles for $61,500, now delivering

BMW world-premiered the iX3 in Munich on September 5, 2025, during IAA Mobility. The iX3 50 xDrive is the first series-production model of BMW’s Neue Klasse generation; BMW announced US pricing in May 2026 at $61,500 plus $1,350 destination, with deliveries set to begin in late September 2026. They have started: BMW of North America’s third-quarter sales release, dated October 1, says “preorder deliveries of the fully electric BMW iX3” began contributing to its electric sales. The headline figure is official: an EPA-estimated range of up to 434 miles on its no-cost 20-inch summer tires (383 miles on the standard all-season tires), the highest EPA rating of any EV in this table. Charging at up to 400 kW on an 800-volt system adds an estimated 185 miles in 10 minutes.

Every iX3, including the North American cars, currently comes from BMW’s plant in Debrecen, Hungary, according to electrive; its bigger iX5 sibling above is the US-built one.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric: priced at $63,500

Mercedes premiered the electric GLC at the IAA Mobility show in 2025, and German order books opened weeks later, in October 2025. The US price is now public. Mercedes-Benz USA’s quick reference guide for the 2027 GLC Electric lists the GLC 400 4MATIC Electric at $63,500, excluding a $1,450 destination and delivery charge, and says it “Arrives at U.S. dealerships in fall 2026.” The same guide gives 483 horsepower from a 94-kWh usable battery, DC fast charging at up to 330 kW, and an EPA range of 350 miles, or 331 miles on all-season tires. At $63,500 it lands $2,000 above the BMW iX3, whose best EPA rating (434 miles) is 84 miles higher.

Mercedes-Benz GLB EQ: up to seven seats, still “upcoming” in the US

Mercedes-Benz USA published the new GLB on December 7, 2025, and the electric version is the one that belongs here: at launch the lineup is a 268-horsepower GLB 250+ with EQ Technology and a 349-horsepower GLB 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology, both on a lithium-ion battery with 85 kWh of usable capacity. Mercedes quotes up to 631 km (about 392 miles) of WLTP range for the 250+, DC fast charging at up to 320 kW on its 800-volt architecture, and up to 260 km (about 162 miles) of WLTP range added in ten minutes; as with every WLTP figure on this page, expect the EPA number to land lower. The practical hook is the packaging: space for up to seven people, an optional third row that Mercedes says fits occupants up to 5’6” tall, and what it calls the largest frunk in the model family.

What the release does not contain is a US price or a US date. Mercedes’ own site lists “The all-new 2027 Electric Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV” under Upcoming as of this October 14 update, and Cars.com’s launch coverage put it plainly: “Mercedes-Benz has not yet announced when the new GLB With EQ Technology will go on sale or how much it will cost,” so the mid-to-high-$50,000 figures circulating are that outlet’s expectation, not a Mercedes number. Mercedes’ US site now lists it as a 2027 model, where December’s launch coverage used the 2026 designation. Three-row shoppers who need a car this year can start with the three-row family picks page.

Chevrolet Bolt: back, cheaper than almost everything

Chevrolet resurrected the Bolt on October 9, 2025 as a limited-run model, and by April 2026 Chevrolet said it was “officially back on dealer lots.” The launch LT model was priced at $29,990 including the $1,395 destination freight charge, with GM promising an even cheaper $28,995 version later in the model year. That cheaper price is now the one Chevrolet quotes: its April 2026 release says “The 2027 Bolt LT has a starting MSRP of $28,995,” destination included, and that the car “is available now at Chevrolet dealerships nationwide.” The final EPA rating came in at 262 miles from a 65-kWh lithium-iron-phosphate pack, and the Bolt is Chevrolet’s first vehicle with a native NACS port, fast-charging from 10 to 80 percent in 25 minutes at up to 150 kW.

GM’s positioning line, the most range in an EV under $30,000, holds when you count destination fees, since the Bolt’s price includes them; on sticker price before destination, the $29,990 Leaf S+ goes further. It is also vehicle-to-home capable when paired with GM’s home energy hardware, meaning the car can power a properly equipped house through an outage. One warning for anyone planning to wait: “limited run” may mean short. Motor Illustrated reported on September 29 that the local United Auto Workers president expects about 35,000 Bolts instead of the roughly 150,000 originally planned, with production ending in the first quarter of 2027; another report has the Bolt running through the 2028 model year, and GM has not confirmed either figure.

Nissan Leaf: 303 EPA miles for $29,990

The third-generation Leaf went on sale in fall 2025 with a starting MSRP of $29,990 for the S+ grade, which Nissan called the lowest starting MSRP of any new EV then on sale in the US. The S+ pairs a 75-kWh battery with a 214-horsepower motor for an official EPA-estimated 303 miles, and carries both a NACS fast-charge port and a J1772 port for home charging.

Two caveats for shoppers. The still-cheaper 52-kWh base S trim has been postponed for the US market. And the $31,565 figure you may see quoted as the Leaf’s price is simply the MSRP plus the $1,575 destination charge. With Kia’s EV3 now priced at $29,890, the Leaf, Bolt, and EV3 form a genuine sub-$30,000-MSRP tier; the first-EV picks page sorts out who each one suits.

Toyota C-HR BEV: the sleeper hot hatch

Toyota’s reborn C-HR was due at US dealers in March 2026 as an EV-only model starting at $37,000 for the SE grade, excluding processing fees. The 2027 model “remains unchanged from the previous model year” apart from the price, now $37,080 for the SE, and was expected at dealers from September. Every C-HR gets standard dual-motor all-wheel drive with 338 combined horsepower, a 74.7-kWh battery, an EPA-estimated 287 miles on the SE’s 18-inch wheels (273 on the XSE’s 20s), and a NACS port with a CCS adapter included.

That is an aggressive package: more standard horsepower than anything else at this price in the table, in a compact crossover body that gets cross-shopped against much slower machinery.

Toyota’s other new arrival, the bZ Woodland, is the same idea stretched for gear-haulers: $45,300 to start for 2026, 375 horsepower, an EPA-estimated 281 miles, and a NACS port. The unchanged 2027 bZ Woodland starts at $45,380, excluding the processing fee, and is due at dealers later this year.

Subaru Uncharted and Trailseeker: Subaru’s two-car EV bet

Subaru’s compact Uncharted was priced for an early-2026 arrival at $34,995 MSRP for the Premium FWD, with an estimated range of more than 300 miles. The site’s full Uncharted analysis from the pricing announcement still holds up: dropping standard all-wheel drive from the base car bought Subaru its first genuinely price-competitive EV. The 2027 Uncharted keeps the $34,995 starting price, “the same as the outgoing model,” plus $1,475 destination and delivery; Subaru quotes up to 308 miles of estimated range for the Premium FWD and says the 2027 cars arrive this fall.

The bigger Trailseeker starts at $39,995 MSRP with 375 horsepower, a 74.7-kWh battery, and an estimated range of approximately 281 miles. The 2027 version holds that $39,995 price and reaches retailers “later this fall.” Note the pattern across Subaru and Toyota’s entries: the same 74.7-kWh pack and NACS port appear in four different bodies, a platform economy that is exactly how these mid-priced EVs stay mid-priced. Neither Subaru quotes EPA ratings; both stick to manufacturer estimates.

Confirmed and coming next

These vehicles have confirmed or heavily reported unveilings or launches ahead. Nothing below is orderable yet, and unofficial prices are marked as estimates.

The Tesla Roadster event moved again. It was set for October 1 in Waco, Texas, after a launch-pad teaser stamped “10.01.” On September 28, Tesla posted on X that “given the severe conditions predicted & because this event can only be held outdoors, we’ve made the difficult decision to reschedule. New date is October 15.” Electrek reports Tesla will stream the event that Thursday at 7:55 p.m. Central, that the demo car is “reportedly remote-operated and not street-legal,” and that production is guided for 2027 or 2028. Earlier reporting had the demo scaled back to a remotely operated run with nobody inside, and spectators kept several hundred yards back because the cold-gas thrusters are loud enough to damage their eardrums. The only price on record is the $200,000 base figure from the 2017 reservations, which Teslarati reported the standard car is still expected to carry. An unveiling is not a delivery date, so treat anything shown on October 15 as a promise until Tesla publishes specs and a price. Three cars left the table since the September update. The Jaguar Type 01 and the Range Rover Electric are now in the main table with their own sections above. The Genesis GV60 Magma, a high-performance version of an existing model rather than a new nameplate, now has a US page listing the 2027 GV60 Magma at a $69,950 starting MSRP and an EPA-estimated 222 miles. Subaru’s three-row Getaway is murkier than it looks: Subaru’s April release says it arrives at retailers nationwide beginning in late 2026, with pricing closer to launch, but Electrek reported in September that the Getaway, like the Highlander, now arrives in 2027 as a 2028 model. Hyundai’s US site still lists the Ioniq 6 N as “coming 2026 with extremely limited availability at select dealers,” with no price. The Kia EV4 sits at the other end of that scale: the sedan was expected in the US within months as of November 2025, when Kia America instead postponed it indefinitely, its marketing chief Russell Wager answering the timing question with one of his own: “Can you give me the answer of when the tariffs are going to be resolved in Mexico, Canada, and Seoul? If you give me that answer, I’ll be as specific as possible.” Electrek reported that Kia was still ready to launch the car, but only if the tariff situation stabilizes. The EV3 above, on sale since August, is the Kia that made it. Three new names joined this table. Ford’s midsize Fathom pickup, the first vehicle on its new Universal EV Platform, was priced in August from $28,350 for the standard-range model plus a $1,595 delivery fee, and Electrek reported then that it goes on sale in early 2027. On October 14, Ford opened sign-ups for a preorder invite list; Electrek reports that preorders themselves open in early 2027, with deliveries expected later that year, and Ford has still not given range or towing figures. Volkswagen premiered the ID. Tiguan on October 9, and its US media site says the car “is planned to succeed the ID.4 in the North American market” but that “Volkswagen has not announced North American timing for the vehicle.” Mercedes-Benz USA’s future-vehicles page also lists “The Electric Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan” as upcoming, with no price or date. The Rivian R3 rounds out the list: unveiled alongside the R2 back in 2024 as a midsize crossover that “will be priced below R2,” with R3 deliveries due to start only after R2’s, to protect the R2 ramp. June 2026 reporting put the performance R3X variant roughly two years out, with the R3 family slated for Rivian’s Georgia plant; Rivian has given the R3 itself no date.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest new electric car announced for 2026?

The Slate Truck, at a $24,950 price before options, destination charges and a $1,450 documentation fee, is the cheapest new EV announced for America, though its first deliveries are not due until the fourth quarter of 2026. Among models already on sale, the Chevrolet Bolt LT is $28,995 including its destination charge, while the Kia EV3 starts at $29,890 and the Nissan Leaf S+ at $29,990, both before destination fees of $1,495 and $1,575.

Which new EV has the longest range?

On an official EPA rating, the BMW iX3 50 xDrive leads this page at up to 434 miles on 20-inch summer tires. BMW’s own preliminary estimates are 446 to 468 miles for the new i3 and 435 miles for the iX5, Volvo targets 400 miles for the EX60 P12 and Jaguar estimates 400 miles for the Type 01, but none of those is an EPA number yet.

When does the Tesla Roadster come out?

Tesla moved its Roadster unveiling from October 1 to October 15, 2026, citing a severe weather forecast for an event that “can only be held outdoors,” and Electrek reports a livestream at 7:55 p.m. Central. That is an unveiling, not a delivery date: production is guided for 2027 or 2028, and the only price on record is the $200,000 base figure from the 2017 reservations.

Is the Toyota Highlander EV delayed?

Yes. Toyota dropped its late-2026 sales plan in July, and its updated release now calls the car a 2028 model, with the 95.8-kWh all-wheel-drive versions expected in early 2027 and the front-drive XLE in mid-2027. No price has been published.

When does the Genesis GV90 go on sale in the US?

Genesis’ US site lists the GV90 as a 2028 model “arriving early 2027,” with no price announced. The car was unveiled in San Francisco on August 19, 2026 with a 123.5-kWh battery and a seven-seat range estimate of roughly 500 km on Genesis’ internal testing.

Do new electric cars still qualify for the federal tax credit?

No. The federal Clean Vehicle Credit ended for purchases after September 30, 2025, so every model on this page competes on its sticker price, plus whatever state incentives apply where you live.

How to choose from all this

A hub table tells you what exists; it cannot tell you what fits your driveway, commute, and budget. That is what the site’s EV Matchmaker does: answer a few questions about how you drive and charge, and it scores the EVs in its catalog for you. The EV catalog lists EVs on sale with verified specs, and the persona guides cover the common cases directly: apartment dwellers without home charging, budget buyers, and road-trip drivers.

Two structural notes worth carrying into any purchase this year. With the federal tax credit gone, the budget tier (Bolt, Leaf, EV3, eventually the Slate Truck) is doing something the US market has not seen in years: competing on real sticker price. And most vehicles in the table above ship with a native NACS port, including models from Toyota, Kia, Nissan, Chevrolet, Rivian, Volvo and BMW. The charging-standard war is effectively over.
