The car world is changing at a rapid pace. A few years ago, hybrids were niche cars, and it was controversial when a sports car lost a manual transmission option or switched from a V8 to a V6. Today, it looks like many automakers may phase out internal combustion entirely in short order.

Some of our favorite gas-swizzling automotive icons will need to adapt to survive. And for most of them, “adapt” will mean more than a token hybrid option.

Here are 10 cool cars that are strong bets to go electric before the end of the decade.

Cadillac Escalade

Reports say GM is taking the Cadillac brand all-electric. The Escalade is a full-size behemoth with an emphasis on quiet luxury and advanced technology that people already pay north of $100,000 for.

Chevrolet Corvette

GM has pledged to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035, which means the Corvette would have to go electric to survive (unless they find a workaround). An electric Corvette SUV and the radical, automatic-only redesign of the current C8 should prime the way for a blisteringly fast Corvette EV at some point.
