"Thousands of people are expected to converge in downtown L.A. as this year's Los Angeles Auto Show wraps up on Sunday. The event at the Los Angeles Convention Center is one of the oldest and largest auto exhibitions in the nation and features hundreds of new vehicles and concept cars, including the latest in EVs. EVs always feature prominently at the L.A. Auto Show, and this year there were again new ones available for purchase in addition to those that carmakers are still planning. The show has long leaned on California's reputation as a climate leader to launch the latest in electric technology."
"Among the EVs exhibited this year are the 2026 version of the Nissan Leaf, which now offers an estimated 303 miles of range on a charge, and the Chevy Bolt, which offers an estimated 255 miles of range. The Bolt is returning due to "popular demand," after being discontinued in 2023, company officials said. The starting retail price for both cars is around $29,000. The auto show also saw new models debut, including the 2026 Jeep Recon - a Wrangler-style EV advertised by the company as "the only fully electric Trail Rated SUV" - that offers 230 miles of range starting at $65,000."
Thousands of attendees visited the Los Angeles Auto Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center, where hundreds of vehicles and concept cars were displayed, including many electric vehicles.

Exhibited EVs include the 2026 Nissan Leaf with an estimated 303 miles of range and the returning Chevy Bolt with an estimated 255 miles, both starting around $29,000. New debuts included the 2026 Jeep Recon, a Wrangler-style EV offering 230 miles of range starting at $65,000. Luxury EVs such as the Rivian RIS and Lucid Gravity were also on display. The show took place amid a shifting U.S. landscape, including repeal of federal tax credits for EVs.
