THIS IS HAPPENING.
Just a few years ago, you'd find a desultory Tesla or Chevy Bolt at our 10Best testing, usually plugged in while the rest of the vehicles cycled in and out of the lot. Now there are enough EVS to warrant their own showdown. And that happened quickly. The EV shopper can choose from pickups, SUVs, and sedans, some courtesy of entirely new companies. Charging is getting faster and easier to find, if not easier to get working.
At least two new models, the Rivian R1S and Cadillac Lyriq, were launched the same week as our event. Many more are on the way.
Eventually, whether in 10 years or 20, all cars will be electrified, and staging an EV-specific contest will be like choosing the best tires made of rubber. Right now, though, we're at an inflection point-EVs are still a small fraction of the overall market, but a staggering 40 percent of the new-car launches we covered last year were for battery-powered vehicles. The momentum is building, so we figure now's the time to weigh in and prod and nudge the manufacturers to build the kind of stuff we like to drive.
And there's plenty to celebrate hereamong our fleet of contenders, we had two vehicles with at least 1000 horsepower and two others with more than 800 horses. Our EV-only parking lot included both the quickest production Ford F-150 and one of the quickest Volvos ever built. We had funky frunks, concept-car interiors, and vehicles that can send power to your house, or campsite, or each other. EVs are unleashing a wave of design and engineering creativity unseen since the advent of the car itself.
Just like internal-combustion cars, though, some EVs are better than others. But only one of our 20 contenders is great enough to earn the title of EV of the Year.

Drivelines - Refreshed but Not Revitalized. The Forester has long begged for more driver interaction, anything to differentiate it.
Refreshed but Not Revitalized. The Forester has long begged for more driver interaction, anything to differentiate it. But its innate funkiness has been discarded in a roadside ditch. Sure, it’s practical. But if that’s what you’re after, go hug your dishwasher. This redo feels half-hearted when what the Forester really wanted was a whole new hear

Stress Reliever
IN THE LINCOLN NAUTILUS, the loudest sound you hear at highway speeds is the rhythmic respiration of the massaging seats. With just 66 decibels of interior noise at 70 mph, this slick-looking new Lincoln is on a mission of zen.

What the Tech?
IT’S NO COMPLAINT TO SAY that given the slow visual evolution of the Mercedes-Benz E-class, many wouldn’t notice that the stately three-box sedan has entered a new generation this year.
