In 2026, LEGO’s block-based lineup includes a growing fleet of electric vehicles and machines, giving EV enthusiasts builds that range from compact city cars to app-controlled heavy equipment. The collection spans multiple LEGO themes, including City, Friends, Speed Champions, and Technic. It reflects the real-world transition to plug-powered transportation. The kits are currently available.
Over the past few years, LEGO has quietly added an impressive array of plug-powered machines to its lineup, from hybrid racers to battery-powered excavators and garbage trucks. The sets are grouped by theme, which also serves as a rough guide to building difficulty. As builders move down the list, the models become bigger, more complex, and more expensive. The most advanced entries include the app-controlled Caterpillar DX-11 electric drive dozer and Volvo EC500 Hybrid excavator.
The entry-level LEGO City and Friends sets include the City Family House (60291), which comes with an EV, along with the Electric Car and Charger (42609), Electric Sports Car (60383), and EV Supercar (60486). These smaller builds introduce younger builders to electric driving and charging infrastructure. They are designed for accessible, everyday play rather than high-performance simulation.
For racing fans, LEGO Speed Champions offers the Audi S1 e-tron Quattro (76921) and the Lotus Evija (76907). These kits focus on electric performance and hypercar design. They allow builders to recreate iconic EV models in brick form. The Lotus Evija set, in particular, represents the extreme end of electric hypercar engineering.
LEGO Technic expands the EV theme with electric race cars such as the Audi RS Q e-tron (42160), Formula E Porsche 99X Electric (42137), NEOM McLaren Formula E Team (42169), NEOM McLaren Extreme E Race Car (42166), and Porsche GT4 e-Performance Race Car (42176). These sets emphasize mechanical functions and racing authenticity. They target older builders who want more detailed, technical models. The Formula E and Extreme E kits connect directly to real-world electric racing series.
The Technic heavy equipment range includes the Caterpillar DX-11 electric drive dozer (42131), Mack LR Electric garbage truck (42167), Volvo EC500 Hybrid electric excavator (42215), Volvo FMX truck and EC230 Electric excavator (42175), Volvo L120 Electric wheel loader (42209), and Volvo ZEUS Autonomous concept wheel loader (42081). These are among the largest and most involved builds in the lineup. The Caterpillar and Volvo excavator kits are app-controlled and seriously expensive. They demonstrate how electric power is transforming construction and waste management.
The current LEGO EV lineup is extensive, but the LEGO community has produced even more electric-themed creations. Fans have built unofficial Tesla showrooms and a tiny GMC Hummer EV concept. LEGO’s Product Ideas page offers a space for more fan-driven EV projects. As electric vehicles become more common, LEGO’s plug-powered kits are likely to keep expanding.
