The 2nd-best electric SUV coming out in 2022 is the 2022 Hummer EV. Considering that the original Hummer was the poster child for gas-guzzling excess, it’s ironic that it reincarnates as an eco-friendly electric vehicle. 

The Hummer EV Pickup will be released first, followed by the Hummer EV SUV. With its three electric motors, the Hummer EV SUV delivers 1,000 hp, a 0-60 mph time as low as 3.0 seconds, and a driving range of up to 350 miles.

There is a considerable amount of positive buzz about EV startup Rivian, with its outdoor adventure and conversation focus and many heralding it as the next Tesla. We think this positive adulation is deserved, as the 2022 Rivian R1S takes the top spot for the best electric SUVs coming out in 2022. 

The Rivian R1S handles like a sports sedan for on-road driving. It also delivers serious off-road chops with its quad motor system, all-terrain tires, and adaptive air suspension, which enables you to raise and lower the height of the vehicle. The quad motor system in the Rivian R1S generates 800 hp, with a 0-60 mph time as low as 3.0 seconds and a driving range of up to 314 miles. Also, Rivian claims that a 400+ range model will be available at a later date.
