Questions, answered

What EV has the most cargo space for dogs?

The 2026 BMW iX: 35.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats — the roomiest enclosed cargo area of any electric SUV or wagon.

Is cargo space measured with seats up or down?

Behind the rear seats (seats up) — the configuration your dog actually rides in. Fold the seats for much more.

Are EVs good for dogs?

Very: flat floors, no hot exhaust, and you can run the climate while parked without idling an engine — most EVs have a pet/camp mode for exactly this.
