Subaru Has Plans For Eight New EVs By 2030

By 2030, Subaru aims to produce more than 1.2 million cars annually across its Japanese and US production sites, with 600,000 of the vehicles being all-electric.

Details On Subaru’s Plans 

Subaru has announced revised electrification plans with the intention to see the automaker offer a total of eight one-of-a-kind electric-powered vehicles (EVs) through 2028. It’s still being decided if the eight EVs Subaru will be offered by the end of 2028 still include the Solterra; however, it is confirmed a few of the seven different EVs are concealed under blue sheets in a graphic in the company’s presentation. In order to reach this target, Subaru will be starting EV production withinside the US in 2027. This latest declaration follows a current report from Automotive News that said a brand new Subaru three-row electric-powered crossover will be built through Toyota in 2025 in the US.

Subaru will begin producing its so-called ‘Next-gen HEV’ models in Japan from around 2025 and  the US from around 2026. Subaru CEO Atsushi Osaki additionally confirmed those models will use Toyota’s petrol-electric hybrid technology. Subaru forecasts it’ll sell 400,000 EVs by 2028, and they will account for half its overall US sales. Subaru CEO Atsushi Osaki said the corporation is also focusing on growing sales in Australia. That being said, Subaru still hasn’t launched its first EV, the Solterra, in Australia as of yet. Subaru hasn’t specified the impact of the delay. Subaru is planning to come to the States with a dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration, while single-motor front-wheel drive variations of it and the bZ4X are provided overseas. The dual-motor model has 160kW of power and 337 Nm of torque, as much as 10kW and 71Nm on the single-motor version. Both variants use a 71.4kWh lithium-ion battery with a maximum DC charging output of 150kW and a maximum AC charging output of 6.6kW.

Subarus and Toyota Collaboration: The Solterra

The AWD Solterra features a Subaru-developed X-Mode AWD control system, as in other Subaru SUVs. It’s additionally available with 20-inch alloy wheels; at the same time, the FWD model is only available with 18 inches. The electric-powered crossover measures 4690mm long, 1860mm wide, and 1650mm tall on a 2850mm wheelbase. That makes it slightly longer and broader than a Forester. Ground clearance is 210mm, or 10mm less than a Forester, while curb weight ranges between 1930kg and 2020kg. The Solterra and bZ4X are underpinned by a modern-day electric-powered vehicle structure co-developed by Subaru and Toyota, the e-Subaru Global Platform and was called e-TNGA. WLTP range figures for the related bZ4X put the FWD version at 516km and the AWD version at 470km, with claimed 0-100km/h times of 7.5 seconds and 6.9 seconds, respectively.
