Each year we see inspiring advancements in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, and 2025 looks to be no different. With expanding EV markets, evolving infrastructure, and a growing commitment to sustainability, 2025 promises to be a pivotal year for the automotive industry. Here are a few of many anticipated advancements in the world of EVs to keep an eye out for this year.
The Electric Revival of an American Classic: Scout Motors
One of the most exciting automotive comebacks is that of Scout Motors, an iconic American auto brand that’s making an electric return. The company, known for its durable off-road vehicles, is introducing the all-new Scout 2025 lineup which includes the Traveler SUV and Terra Truck. Both models will be available in fully electric or hybrid versions, blending Scout’s classic style with the latest EV technology. The highly anticipated vehicles will be available for reservations in 2025, with official releases expected by 2027.
Sports Go Electric: Formula E and Beyond
2025 will mark the 11th season of Formula E, Formula 1’s all-electric counterpart.

Formula E racecars have seen increasing advancements and improvements that are striving to place electric cars on par with petrol racecars.
Formula E is leading the shift of motorsports towards sustainability as others follow. Formula 1, for example, has announced its plans to transition their racecars to have more powerful batteries and run on 100% sustainable fuels by 2026.
EVs for Every Lifestyle: From Luxury Cars to Campers and Trucks

These vehicles are cleaner, quieter, and far more sustainable than diesel counterparts.
