Those who have owned an electric vehicle and are in the market for a new one should definitely consider our picks for the best EVs coming in 2025. With battery technology improving every year thanks to advancements in engineering, you can expect impressive numbers in terms of performance and battery life. This is the golden age for EVs, as companies strive to enhance their technology to compete with one another, resulting in better electric cars.
We have compiled a great list of EVs for you to consider, so sit back and check it out.
The Volvo EX30 is a crossover SUV with a modern, simple design that showcases stylish Swedish aesthetics. This SUV seats about five passengers and has a maximum cargo capacity of approximately 31 cubic feet. For those who might use it to haul a jet ski or other outdoor adventure gear, you’ll be pleased to know that the EX30 can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
The battery technology is impressive, featuring a capacity of 69 kWh with an estimated range of 275 miles. The interior is well-designed with a minimalist look, and the EX30 comes equipped with a Park Pilot assist system to help you navigate tight parking spaces. It also includes a door sensor to prevent accidental collisions with cyclists. The sound system is touted to be top-notch, featuring a performance sound bar, and the EX30 is made from recycled materials to reduce its carbon footprint.
Priced at around $35,000 USD, this is a competitive price for a well-constructed EV. Expect the Volvo EX30 to make its debut in mid-2025, and it is also available for preorder.
The Acura ZDX is one of Acura’s flagship performance EVs. It exudes the upscale feel of an electric SUV and will come in three performance models: the A-Spec RWD, which is expected to be priced at around $66,000; the AWD series, which includes the Type-A with AWD; and the Type-S AWD, which offers enhanced performance features, including better handling.
So, how much power can we expect? The A-Spec model features a single motor that produces approximately 358 hp. If you’re seeking more performance, you have the option to upgrade to a dual motor, which will deliver around 490 hp. For those looking for an impressive performance vehicle, the Type-S AWD will provide an impressive 499 HP, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and complete a quarter mile in 12.7 seconds.
While the price range is on the higher side, it is expected for a vehicle of this caliber: approximately $66,000 for the Type-A and $77,000 for the Type-S. If you are an Acura enthusiast or simply in search of a sporty EV, the ZDX is worth considering.
The Chevy Bolt has been around for quite some time, so you can expect significant improvements in the latest 2025 model. Bolt sales have skyrocketed as it is a nimble, reliable, and affordable EV. Many people consider the Bolt to be an entry-level electric vehicle, with a price tag ranging from $25,000 to $35,000, making it accessible to a wide audience and encouraging many to adopt EV technology.
The Bolt EV can travel up to 259 miles on a single charge and boasts approximately 200 hp, making it perfect for anyone looking for a straightforward daily driver EV. However, with modern EVs targeting 300 miles of range, we would not be surprised if the 2025 Bolt EV features a range of at least 300 miles. This is just speculation and an estimate.
While there are currently limited images of the Chevrolet Bolt, we can reasonably expect that it will undergo some redesigns based on the current models.
Now, let's return to luxury sports vehicles. The 2025 Audi Q4 e-Tron is a sight to behold. When I first laid eyes on it, I couldn't take my eyes off it. Its sophisticated design makes it feel almost like an accessory to a home—similar to a tie with a well-tailored suit or a necklace complementing a beautiful evening dress.
Starting at around $49,800 USD, the 2025 Audi Q4 e-Tron is quite the gem. It offers a decent range of about 288 miles, making it perfect for getting around town or going out for an evening dinner. According to their website, it can be charged in about 28 minutes, which is convenient, especially if you're charging it while shopping or dining out.
The interior of the Q4 e-tron truly impressed me, featuring a sophisticated heads-up display that gives off a sci-fi, iRobot-like feel while also enhancing safety. The cabin emphasizes luxury with high-quality materials, ensuring a comfortable and well-crafted environment. It will also come equipped with an 11.6-inch display and user-friendly climate controls. Furthermore, it includes advanced driver assistance systems that can warn you of oncoming road hazards.
In 2025, Tesla is expected to release the Model 2. Many of you may have seen the press conference where they revealed the Robotaxi, which is based on a recycled Model 2, aimed at being part of Tesla's affordable lineup. The Tesla Model 2 is designed to appeal to the mass market in an effort to bring more people into the EV industry.
This model is anticipated to be smaller than the Model 3 and will feature a cost-saving design, making it accessible to a wider audience. The Tesla Model 2 will retain all the classic features Tesla vehicles are known for, such as Autopilot and standard EV performance capabilities
The Model 2 is still expected to launch in 2025 with a starting price of $25,000 USD. Currently released specs indicate a range of about 250 miles per charge and an estimated 200 hp (this may change as more information becomes available).
