EREVs are already an established part of the EV market in China, with a growing presence elsewhere, including Europe. But in North America - and particularly the U.S. - they've mostly remained announcements, plans and promises. That’s about to change.
There are now enough real vehicles, specifications and dates that EREVNow is launching the 2026 EREV Guide: What's Coming to North America - and When.
We've been closely following EREVs since 2024, when North American programs were still largely speculative. Until recently, too much remained unsettled to make a useful guide. Vehicles were unnamed. Launch windows were broad. Specifications changed. The picture is getting clearer. But not every announcement is equally concrete.
Hyundai has named the Santa Fe EREV and says it will arrive in the first half of 2027 with more than 600 miles of total range. Genesis has confirmed an EREV SUV for early 2027 targeting more than 640 miles.
Karma is more specific still. Its Gyesera Grand Coupe is scheduled to reach dealers in December 2026, with 80 miles of electric range, 360 miles total and a base MSRP of $139,995.
Scout says customer deliveries of its first Harvester-equipped Traveler will begin in 2028, with approximately 150 miles of electric range and more than 500 miles total. More than 85 percent of Scout reservations are for the range-extender version, and Scout plans to put the Harvester EREV into production first.
The Guide includes a What We Know column. It separates what's been announced from what's actually happening, and adds credible reporting when it tells us something more. That distinction gets interesting pretty quickly.
Ram says its 1500 REV is coming in 2027. Supplier information reported by Automotive Newspoints to production beginning in April.
Ford has confirmed that its next-generation F-150 Lightning will be an EREV with more than 700 miles of targeted total range. It hasn't said when the truck will arrive.
Jeep is less clear. The company says the Grand Wagoneer REEV is coming in 2026. Automotive Newshas reported that production has moved from May to November. Stellantis continues to say Jeep is on track for this year. It's late September, and Jeep hasn't announced an on-sale date.
The Guide will show both the announcement and what we know about the timing. Readers can draw their own conclusions.
We're also making some choices about what doesn’t make the chart.
Volvo's new XC60 and XC90 long-range plug-in hybrids will offer more than 70 miles of projected electric range in the U.S. That's getting close to the electric-first proposition of an EREV, but the gasoline engine can still mechanically drive the wheels. We'll track them, but they aren't in the EREV chart.
Kia has confirmed North American EREVs, including a Telluride and body-on-frame pickup. Its latest U.S. strategy puts them in 2029 or later, so they're worth tracking, but not part of the immediate launch wave.
Nissan is coming at the category from the other direction. Its new Rogue e-POWER, arriving this fall, uses a gasoline engine only to generate electricity while electric motors drive the wheels. But it can't be plugged in, so it isn't an EREV by our definition. Nissan executives have also discussed range-extender systems for larger SUVs, although nothing specific has been announced yet.
We expect more judgment calls like these as the category develops.
Every entry in the Guide includes its sources. We'll update prices, specifications and timing as they become available. If something is reported rather than confirmed, we'll say so. If we don't know, we'll say TBD.
The goal isn't to create the longest EREV list on the internet. It's to create one worth bookmarking.
