"No. Not by a long shot. In fact, this year automakers will launch a staggering 32 new electric vehicle models in the United States by my count. And that's not even including the dozen or so existing models that are getting big upgrades or price cuts. No, this isn't the end of the EV market, but the beginning of a mature one, one with choice in far more segments, serving a variety of different price points."
"2026 will be make-or-break for Honda and Acura's EV ambitions. Honda has never built a long-range EV for the U.S. market, and its global EVs have so far been middling. The company argues its slow approach was building up to the 0 Series, its first software-defined EV platform. It'll underpin three separate models launching in 2026, but the Acura RSX is the tip of the spear. It'll launch in the first half of this year as a dual-motor compact crossover coupe."
"The BMW iX3 is the first model on BMW's Neue Klasse architecture, which the company claims is its first true software-defined vehicle. That means it's built from the ground up to support a new tech experience, with a massive panoramic display and a new AI assistant. The electrical platform is new, too, offering over 400 miles of range and blazing-fast 400-kilowatt fast charging."
Automakers will introduce 32 new electric vehicle models in the United States this year, alongside about a dozen existing models receiving significant upgrades or price cuts. The EV market is moving from early adoption toward maturity, offering more segments and price points. Honda and Acura plan a 0 Series software-defined EV platform in 2026, led by the Acura RSX, a dual-motor compact crossover coupe expected to offer over 300 miles of range and run Honda's Asimo OS with an AI assistant and over-the-air updates. BMW's iX3 on the Neue Klasse architecture emphasizes software, a large panoramic display, an AI assistant, over 400 miles of range, and 400 kW fast charging.
