Everyone’s talking about electric cars, but let me tell you straight — not every EV launching in 2025 or 2026 is worth your money. I’ve been watching the auto industry for a while now, and after digging into specs, price, design, and practicality, here’s what I personally think about the top upcoming EVs.
I’m not a fanboy of any brand — just giving you my own real opinions. Let’s jump in.
1. Tesla Model 2 — YES, I’d Definitely Buy This One
To be honest, this is the one I’m most excited about. A Tesla for around $25,000? That’s insane value. It’s compact, electric, and comes with Tesla’s autopilot — which I think is the coolest part.
If you ask me, this car will sell like crazy, and I’d 100% buy it for daily use, especially for city driving.
My Verdict: Buy it when it launches. Cheap, smart, and from Tesla — what else do you want?
2. Apple Car — No, I’d Pass for Now
Okay, I know it’s Apple, and people will go crazy for it. But honestly? I don’t trust first-gen cars. Apple has no experience in actual cars, and everything is still a rumor. Self-driving sounds cool, but it also sounds risky.
I wouldn’t spend 50k+ on a mystery vehicle, even if it has an Apple logo.
My Verdict: Skip it unless you’re rich and love trying new tech first.
3. Volkswagen ID.7 — Yes, I’d Consider It (But It’s Not My First Choice)
The ID.7 looks clean and solid. Good range, German build quality, and comfy interior. If you’re someone who drives a lot or takes long trips, this could be your car. Personally, I like it — but I’d go for it only if Tesla Model 2 isn’t available.
My Verdict: Yes, if you want a calm, safe EV with a nice driving feel.
4. BYD Seal — Honestly? I’d Buy This Over a Tesla in Some Cases
People don’t know much about BYD, but trust me, this company is killing it in China. The Seal is stylish, fast, and cheaper than a Tesla Model 3. I really like what I’ve seen so far.
If this launches in my country at a fair price, I’m definitely buying it. It’s underrated but powerful.
My Verdict: Yes! Don’t sleep on it. Great value for money.
5. Hyundai Ioniq 7 — I Like It, But It’s Too Big for Me
Look, this SUV looks great. Modern, big, and family-friendly. But honestly, I don’t need a 7-seater. If you’ve got a big family or go on a lot of road trips, this is a dream car.
But for me personally? It’s too big. I prefer smaller cars that are easier to park.
My Verdict: Great for families — not for me personally.
6. Chevy Equinox EV — Yes, This Is A Smart First EV
I like this one a lot. It is cheap (below 30k), functional and easy. It is not sexy but a clever purchase of every person who is buying his first electric car. It is no. one in case you are working with a budget.
I’d buy this if I needed a small SUV without spending too much.
My Verdict: Yes! Reliable and budget-friendly.
7. Lucid Gravity — Nope, Not for Me
This one’s a luxury SUV, and yeah, it looks beautiful. But 80K+? That’s not my budget. Also, I don’t need all the fancy stuff like 400+ miles range or lounge-like interiors. Unless you’re someone who wants top luxury, this isn’t for you.
For me, it’s just too much car.
My Verdict: Skip it unless you’ve got deep pockets and love showing off.
Final Thoughts — Here’s What I’d Buy in Order:
- Tesla Model 2 – First choice, hands down
- BYD Seal – Second choice, underrated but solid
- Chevy Equinox EV – Great for first-time buyers
- VW ID.7 – Not bad, but only if you like comfort
- Hyundai Ioniq 7 – Good, but only for families
- Apple Car – Overhyped, not for me
- Lucid Gravity – Too expensive for what I need
That’s my honest review. No marketing hype — just what I’d personally buy and why. I hope this helps you figure out which EV might suit your needs.
