Fall is when new cars land, and this one is crowded. Fourteen new electric models are on sale, on the way or open for orders in the US right now, and they cover almost every corner of the market: a $29,890 Kia, a BMW rated at 434 miles, a six-seat Model Y, a Jeep with removable doors and a $24,950 pickup that does not even come with a radio!
Launch dates slip all the time, so we sorted every car by where it actually stands today: on sale now, arriving by December, or taking orders with no delivery date yet. Every range figure is the EPA rating unless we label it an estimate, and we checked each rating against the EPA’s own database on October 6. Prices are starting MSRP before destination.
The short version
- Most range: BMW iX3 50 xDrive, up to 434 miles.
- Lowest price you can buy today: Kia EV3, from $29,890.

- Lowest price, period: Slate Truck at $24,950, if it ships on schedule.
On sale now
BMW iX3 50 xDrive
From $61,500 · 383 to 434 miles EPA · NACS port
BMW’s first Neue Klasse car started reaching US customers on September 16, ahead of schedule, and it arrives with the longest range of anything new this fall. Read the fine print on that 434: it applies on 20-inch summer tires. On all-season tires the same car is rated at 383 miles, which is still excellent. BMW claims 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes on a 400 kW charger.
Kia EV3
From $29,890 · 221 to 321 miles EPA · NACS port
Kia’s smallest EV is now at US dealers. The base car pairs a 58.3 kWh battery with 221 miles, and the Long Range FWD stretches that to 321 miles, which beats SUVs that cost far more. Kia claims 29 to 31 minutes for a 10 to 80 percent charge, and it was offering $1,500 in customer cash in September. It already sits near the top of our Cheapest EVs list on price per mile of range.
Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC electric
About $63,500 · 331 to 350 miles EPA · NACS for fast charging
The electric GLC went on sale in the third quarter at $64,950 with destination, and it is a rare EV that undercuts its own gas sibling: it costs $6,400 less than the AMG GLC 53. It makes 483 hp, Mercedes claims 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes, and the 39.1-inch Hyperscreen is optional.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV
From $37,745 · 282 miles (Mitsubishi estimate) · NACS port
Mitsubishi announced pricing on October 6 and says US sales begin this month. Underneath, it is the new Nissan LEAF with Mitsubishi styling and a 10-year, 100,000-mile battery and powertrain warranty. Worth knowing before you shop: the LEAF S+ costs $29,990 and is EPA rated at 303 miles, so the Mitsubishi asks you to pay for the look and the longer warranty.
Rivian R2
From $57,990 · 307 to 330 miles EPA · NACS port
Deliveries began in June, but the R2 is still brand new on the road and only now ramping up: Rivian posted record deliveries in the third quarter. Only the Performance Launch Package ships this year. In independent testing by State of Charge it charged from 10 to 80 percent in 26.9 minutes. The cheaper Standard Long Range, at $48,490, is due in early 2027.
Genesis GV60 Magma
$69,950 · 222 miles EPA · Select retailers only
The performance GV60 brings 641 hp and a Drift Mode, but only to select retailers in California, New York and New Jersey for now. The range is modest for the price, which tells you who this one is for.
Arriving by December
Volvo EX60
From $60,750 (P10 AWD) · 312 to 330 miles EPA · NACS port
Volvo says deliveries of the P10 AWD start this fall, with the $58,400 P6 and the P12 (Volvo estimates up to 400 miles) following in 2027. The 330-mile rating is the longest of any Volvo sold in the US, and Volvo claims 10 to 80 percent in about 16 minutes at a 400 kW station, one of the quickest claims on this list. A 19.2 kW onboard charger is standard.
Tesla Model Y L
$61,990 · 328 miles EPA · NACS port
The first six-seat Model Y sold in the US, with a 2-2-2 layout. Tesla scheduled first US deliveries for September or October, and the Launch Series includes a year of free Supercharging. It is the only six-seater on this list with an EPA rating already in hand.
Lexus TZ
From $62,500 · 253 to 315 miles (Lexus estimates) · NACS port
Lexus’s first three-row EV seats six, with captain’s chairs in the second row. The Premium trim arrives late this year; the Premium Touring and Luxury follow in early 2027. Range is still a Lexus estimate, so we will update this when the EPA rates it.
Jeep Recon
$66,995 · 222 miles EPA · CCS port
Jeep’s first fully electric Trail Rated SUV has 670 hp and removable doors and glass. Orders have been open since June, but reports disagree on whether any have reached customers yet, and the latest reporting points to deliveries in late fall or early winter. Two things to weigh: 222 miles is short for the price, and it uses a CCS port, so Supercharger stops need an adapter (check our Supercharger tracker).
Volkswagen ID. Buzz
Price not yet announced · Not yet EPA rated · Arriving through early 2027
The electric Microbus returns for 2027 after skipping a model year. VW said select cars would start reaching showrooms in August, with the rest of the lineup arriving through early 2027, including a new Tourer camping trim with a fold-out bed.
Slate Truck
$24,950 · About 205 miles (Slate estimate) · NACS port
The most interesting car on this list. The base truck has two seats and no infotainment, no speakers and no power windows: you add what you want from a catalog of accessories, most under $500. Slate is targeting first deliveries by the end of 2026, but we have not seen confirmation that production has started, so treat this one as a maybe for 2026.
Orders open, delivery date still to come
Range Rover Electric
About $140,000 with destination · 333 miles (JLR estimate) · NACS port
Orders opened September 1, but Land Rover has not said when US deliveries start. It can wade through 35 inches of water, and JLR claims 10 minutes of charging adds about 125 miles.
Porsche Cayenne Electric
From $109,000 · Not yet EPA rated · Fast charging on NACS
Porsche says the first US deliveries come later this year, but it has no EPA rating yet. The Turbo makes up to 1,139 hp, and wireless home charging is an option.
Also new for 2027
Not new nameplates, but updated versions of cars already on sale, all arriving this fall:
- Toyota bZ: adds battery preconditioning, Plug and Charge and a 14-inch screen. 236 to 314 miles EPA.
- Toyota C-HR: $37,080, standard AWD and 338 hp. The 2026 model is rated at 287 miles.
- Toyota bZ Woodland: $45,380, 260 to 281 miles EPA.
- Subaru Trailseeker: $39,995, 274 to 281 miles EPA, at retailers later this fall.
- Subaru Uncharted: $34,995, 273 to 308 miles EPA.
Pushed to 2027 or later
If you were waiting on one of these, here is where they landed. We track all of them, plus more than a hundred others, in our Upcoming Electric Cars guide.
- Genesis GV90: early 2027.
- BMW i3 sedan (Neue Klasse): 2027.
- Mercedes-Benz C-Class electric: early 2027 in the US.
- Rivian R2 Standard Long Range ($48,490): early 2027.
- Ram 1500 REV (range extended): production moved to April 2027.

- Scout Traveler and Terra: first deliveries expected in 2028.
- Kia EV4: US launch delayed until further notice.
- Honda 0 SUV, Honda 0 Saloon and Acura RSX: cancelled in March.
Which one would we buy?
If you want the most car for the money, the Kia EV3 Long Range is the easy pick: over 300 miles, a native NACS port and a price in the mid-$30,000s. If range comes first, the BMW iX3 is the new benchmark, as long as you shop the trim and tires behind that 434. And if you need a third row, the Model Y L is the safer bet today, simply because its numbers are certified and its charging network is already built. We would wait for the EPA to rate the Lexus TZ before deciding.
Every rated car here is going into our EV Range Chart, and charge times will join the Charging Speed Chart once independent tests come in. We will update this story as delivery dates firm up.
