California’s Lucid has raised the bar for electric vehicles in ways that matter for affordability and EV adoption. Yes, and we’ll explain why.

Which new green car is the best? Each December we ask this question in earnest, first making a list of all the electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that arrive by the end of the calendar year, and you can buy early the following year. Now, that’s looking at 2022.

The 2024 Kia EV9 is one of this year's greats. But it begs the question: What took so long? SUVs are the family vehicle of choice, at least so far this century, while EVs represent the technology of choice for a growing subset of the American public. Yet up until now, with the arrival of the 2024 Kia EV9, there hasn’t been a non-luxury.

While doing that, and seemingly changing as little as possible about all that already makes the F-150 so desirable, it’s created a better vehicle. That's why even though the F-150 Lightning isn’t the first.
