Lincoln, Fordโ€™s luxury brand, has announced that itโ€™ll show off a โ€œfully electric concept vehicleโ€ on April 20th as a way to tease upcoming electric offerings. In a short video, the company shows off a partial outline of the vehicle, which will likely be a smaller SUV or crossover, as the company currently doesnโ€™t make any sedans (sad news for anyone like me who would love a Hyundai-esque โ€™80s Continental revival).

There currently arenโ€™t any fully electric Lincolns, though the company does offer three plugin hybrids, as Electrek points out. Last year, the company announced its plans to โ€œelectrify its entire portfolio of vehicles by 2030โ€ and promised that its first full EV would โ€œdebutโ€ in 2022.

As a concept car, whatever Lincoln shows off next week wonโ€™t actually be for sale. However, the companyโ€™s announcement says that it will act as โ€œinspiration for the brandโ€™s fully electric vehicles coming in the near future,โ€ which hopefully means that the company will announce an EV you can actually buy by the end of this year (if your pockets are deep enough, that is).

Ford already has two EV platforms that could be used for future electric luxury SUVs. It seems possible that the company could announce an electric Navigator based on the F-150 Lightning (which would be an interesting answer to GMโ€™s electric Hummer) and a crossover based on the Mustang Mach-E sometime in the near future. This concept reveal will probably offer at least some insight into the automakerโ€™s plans.
