LA AUTO SHOW 2025 EV TOUR: RIVIAN R2 REVEAL, SCOUT MOTORS FIRST LOOK & CHRYSLER OFF-ROAD MINIVAN!

EV Channels Review

The LA Auto Show provided a glimpse into the future of EVs, with a particular focus on utility vehicles. The Rivian R2, showcased in a striking yellow accent variant, appears to be a tri-motor model, featuring a refined interior and a new UI. Notably, the Rivian charger now includes a NACS port, a welcome integration. The Chrysler Pacifica Grizzly Peak Concept impressed with its off-road minivan design, while the new Nissan Leaf boasts a larger size and a NACS port, even including a rear outlet, a feature the reviewer wishes Tesla would adopt more widely. The Scout Motors SUV and Truck garnered significant attention for their premium interiors, including a pull-out table in the SUV and front bench seating in the truck, alongside NACS ports and 120V outlets. Other notable mentions include the Volvo EX30 and EX90, Hyundai IONIQ 9, and Lucid Gravity, all contributing to a dynamic outlook for the EV market.
