And be careful with the old assumption that you can cut any prices I mention with a tax benefit, as the needs some time to reshape the market.<br><br>Let’s start with GM, because it will arguably steal the most new EV spotlight in 2023.<br><br>A lot rides on the new Lyriq, both for GM’s electrification program and Cadillac’s role as the flagship.<br>

This midsize SUV will be GM’s first vehicle based on the , which uses interesting pouch cells in a rather than the traditional cylindrical cells that dominate the EV industry. GM says that and other details will allow Ultium to scale up and down its lines. GM also needs Ultium to put a lot of distance between it and the completely different battery architecture that underpins the . The Lyriq is the first step in that journey, starting at about $63,000. <br><br>I much prefer the Equinox without the two-tone color schemes it’s often shown with.<br>

The i5 will be an electric version of its 5-Series which, being a sedan, would normally make it less of a bellwether in the US market. But the 5 Series is no ordinary sedan, still carrying a lot of BMW brand power.

I would hope the new Prius Prime sports a battery-only range of at least 45 miles compared to the current range of 25 miles, as that would enable the car to take on enough pure electric range for — even if you forget to plug in until an hour before you head out for the d<br>
