At the Chicago Auto Show this year, car companies revamped some of their most popular nameplates. But they also showcased a slew of the electric options that they're spending billions of dollars developing and plan to have on the roads in the coming years.
The auto industry is in the midst of a massive transition and is steadily accelerating its shift to electric power. Almost all of the industry's major legacy players are rolling out scads of EV models over the next decade, and amping up their manufacturing capacity and talent with massive investments to do so. They're navigating an entirely new supply chain. They're having to pivot their retail strategies and educate consumers about the nuances of driving electric. At the same time, new players are entering the scene, some proving to be strong competition and reinventing the traditional industry's playbook.
At this year's Chicago show, car companies had debuts, and many outlined — to no surprise — the electric future of their lineups. Not only are automakers launching vehicles to try to rattle Tesla's hold on the US EV market share, but they're also competing with one another, especially in electric trucks and crossovers.
