1 Canoo

Starting MSRP: $35,000

Canoo

The Canoo is an all-electric SUV/minivan/camper/work van designed and produced by an independent startup company in California. For the first year, they have pulled the plug on selling to the general public and have decided to go with fleet orders, and only fleet orders. If you are wondering how well they are doing, the orders from the likes of Walmart and NASA should give you a hint.

The company is currently in the process of creating a way to make the motors programmable so you can decide whether you want power or range, which of course would be decided upon when ordering. Hopefully, in the near future, it would be an adjustment you could make on the fly as needed, which would put the Canoo on a playing field above the rest, at least for a few moments anyway.

2 Volkswagen ID. Buzz

It has been a while since the American shores have seen a Volkswagen van, and there will be more than a few people celebrating the arrival of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. It is slated to come to the markets for the 2025 model year, so it may start coming to lots as early as next year. The VW bus's major change is that it will have an all-electric powertrain, removing all forms of carbon footprints it leaves behind.

The rear-wheel drive version will be the base-level model offered, with an all-wheel trim level model hopefully coming available soon afterward. The extra motor that it would require only bumps the horsepower up to 330, but if you think about it, the whole point of getting a three-row SUV is not to take it out onto the race track. Instead, a trip around the nation is more in order. Since it has more than enough power to get around in traffic and get up to speed on the highway, either option would give you plenty of power for the tasks at hand.

3 Tesla Model Y

The interior of the Model Y is awe-inspiring – it offers plenty of legroom, heated seats in all rows, cupholders, LED lighting, and climate control.

Chinese carmaker, formerly known as NextEV, has decided to move away from the high-performance scene and dip into the production segment of the EV industry with the NIO ES8.

Definitely, something that the company will have to continue to work on, but then again, so do most of the other carmakers shifting over to electric car platforms.

The vehicle does have some issues that the company needs to work out, though.
