Today Electric Vehicles

This is the all-new Polestar 4, and no, your eyes don't deceive you: it really doesn't have a rear window, instead relying solely on a digital rear-view mirror for visibility. Polestar calls the 4 an SUV coupe, but, to our eyes, it looks more like a very slightly lifted sedan with some funky styling elements. The 4 will arrive with a maximum of 544 horsepower and 506 lb.-ft. of torque, shooting it from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, and Polestar is targeting a range of over 300 miles for the less powerful, single-motor Long Range model. Inside, in a move that should surprise absolutely no one, the minimalist cabin is dominated by a 15.4-inch touchscreen and features the latest in driver assistance technology. Polestar anticipates a $60,000 starting price when the 4 hits the road sometime next year. Are you a fan?

Lamborghini E-spada, episode II
Fictional design proposal for Hydrogen-Electric Gran Turismo by Radovan Varićak

"The stylistic theme goes back to beginning to the 60s 350GT/Miura period fluid softness, with the 70s Countach hard geometry evoked only in detailing. There are also Marzal/ Espada references, in the front intake, side/rear air outlets and rear diffuser. The overall shape is a simplemonovolume, somewhat less rigid than the 1978 Lancia Sibilo, while the entire design is an undisguised homage to the Bertone-Gandini era."

Nissan Ariya Nissan
The 2023 Nissan Ariya represents the automaker's boldest step yet toward an electric-car future. After years of offering the affordable electric Leaf hatchback, the Ariya may help the automaker attract more first-time electric-car buyers than ever before. Nissan is aiming to have more than 40 percent of its U.S. vehicle sales be fully electric by 2030.

Nissan LEAF
In some important ways, the second-generation Leaf corrected missteps Nissan made with the first generation. Exterior styling has evolved to be more sophisticated as well as communicate Nissan's design language. With more power (148 hp versus the old model's 110), it's quicker and more responsive than previously. The Leaf also stops from 60 mph to a standstill in a shorter distance than many of its competitors, and its interior is satisfyingly quiet.

Like the first gen, however, the second gen has range shortcomings that are exacerbated by how cheap the Leaf feels, especially against EV segment rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and to a lesser degree the Chevy Bolt. An entry-level 2021 Model 3 RWD Standard has a total range of 263 miles, and both Long Range and Performance variants can go over 300 miles on a full charge, whereas the Leaf with the greatest range is the Leaf Plus at 226 miles. The 2022 Bolt splits the difference, but with 259 miles of range, it can still travel farther than the longest-range Leaf.

We wish range was our only gripe, but it's not. The transition from the Leaf's e-pedal to normal friction braking is rough. Its front seats feel like padded barstools, and because of a low rear hip-point and high floor, the rear seats are uncomfortable to sit in.

Like most modern EVs, the Leaf's saving grace might be its commendable value, reflected in the 2021 model's Excellent Five-Year Cost to Own ratings at every trim level as determined by our partners at IntelliChoice. That value became more compelling when Nissan announced the 2022 model has a lower MSRP than the model that preceded it, in some cases dropping more than $6,000 from the sticker price. A fully loaded Leaf Plus SL now comes in under $40,000 (before incentives).
