Porsche’s EV future: Half of all Porsche will be electrified by 2025
Porsche has a hit on its hands. The Taycan has impressed the industry with the automaker's ability to curb the effects of a large battery on handling. It's a true Porsche that just happens to be an EV. But like every other OEM it can't throw one electric car out into the market and call it a day. During a trip to Italy, Porsche unveiled details of its next electric platform, and how it'll affect the upcoming Macan EV, and threw us in the GT4 ePerformance racecar for a hot lap at its Porsche Experience Center. If you're worried about the future of Porsche, don't be. As they have proven time and time again, when it comes to engineering, they got this. The biggest revelation was how the PPE platform will help Porsche bring the new Macan to market with features you'd expect from the automaker. For example, the placement of the rear motor is behind the rear axle gives the SUV a more sporty rear-bias feel. The Macan will also receive rear-wheel steering. But there's also the sports cars and if they're just a fraction of what we experienced sitting in the passenger seat of the GT4 E, the traditional Porsche is is good hands.
Read MoreRivian R1S review: An impressive electric SUV meant for outdoor adventure.
Rivian impressed us with its R1T pickup, and its R1S electric SUV is no different. The slightly smaller vehicle continues the automotive startup's trend of building no-compromise electric vehicles meant for outdoor adventure. Living the life of an extreme camper, kayaker or cyclist does have a bank-busting price tag with the R1S starting at $78,000. It also might not be the most efficient EV on the market, but it has a range of up to 316 miles and delivers to those looking to go outdoors with a vehicle that's solidly built. The R1S also now ships with new Camping features so overnight stays can be a bit more comfortable. Designing a desirable EV is not something Rivian has struggled with to date, though: its real issue is mass-producing cars to keep up with orders. Watch the video below for the full story.

The Lucid Air is a fantastic first car from a new automaker. It's also a very expensive EV out of the reach of most people. The company has promised less expensive versions of the Air and today those vehicles are finally being unveiled. During the Los Angeles auto show, Lucid took the wraps off the Lucid Air Pur and Touring. The two vehicles might not have over 500 miles of range or can hit 60 in under two seconds, but these are likely the two trim levels that will dominate the automaker's sales. The Pure is the first and only Air to come in under $100,000 starting at a still pricey $87,400. It's best to remember that the Air is still a luxury vehicle. While it won't hit 500 miles between charges it has an EPA target of 410 miles and can charge at 250kW on a compatible DC fast charger. The Touring is slightly more expensive at $107,400 and can drive for an EPA estimated range of 425 miles. While the Pure wasn't quite ready for testing, we were able to get behind the wheel of the Touring for a quick jaunt around the Lucid headquarters.
