The Honda e electric car comes with a 124-mile battery range and features fast-charging for the 35.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, which charges up to 80% in 30 minutes. Powering the Honda e is a 148 HP asynchronous motor which is capable of 0-62 mph in 8 seconds. The small size of the Honda e (3.83 meters long) makes it easy to park and thus suitable to ride around in a small city. The electric car from Honda comes in a modern-retro look and is available for pre-booking in the UK for just £800 or around $1000. The base price of the Honda e begins from £36,923 or $45,000.

The electric SUV was unveiled in Shanghai, China, and is slated for a 2021 launch. It’ll launch globally sometime in the future.

4. Porsche Taycan

New Electric Cars Porsche Taycan

The upcoming Porsche Taycan (earlier known as the Mission E) is a highly anticipated car from Porsche. After being pointed out on Reddit that Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S belong in a different niche, I won’t refer to Porsche Taycan as ‘Tesla Killer.’ A 90 kWh battery in the $120,000 Porsche Taycan is expected to deliver 320 miles of range. What keeps the agile and track-worthy nature of Porsche Taycan are two electric motors, a 200HP one at the front and a 400HP one at the rear. Porsche Taycan recently set a track record at Nurburging for the fastest four-door electric sedan, which is kind of a specific record, to be honest. However, the first ride reviews of Porsche Taycan are flowing in from revered Auto journalists, so all the electric sports car fans definitely have something great coming up.

5. Tesla Cybertruck

Tesla Cybertruck Killer T-ONE Specs

Probably the most polarising vehicle of the decade, the Tesla Cybertruck is amazing, to say the least. It features a cold-rolled steel exoskeleton that is dent-proof and bulletproof. The design of the Tesla Cybertruck is something out of a sci-fi, except the fact that it is available for purchase now. The Tesla Cybertruck is available at a starting price of $39,900 and goes all the way up to $69,900. In terms of performance, the top-spec Cybertruck has a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a battery range of more than 500 miles. Oh did I mention that it can tow 14,000 pounds? cause it can.

6. Lotus Evija

New Electric Cars Lotus Evija

The Lotus Evija Hypercar is a 2000 PS electric hypercar with borderline insane specs. It will come with an 800 kW charger that’ll juice up its battery in just 9 minutes. The Lotus hyper electric car will come have a 0-100 km/h time of under 3 seconds and a top speed of 250 mph or 321 km. Lotus Evija will start production in 2020. Powering the Lotus Evija are four independent electric motors producing 493 HP each and a battery of 2,000 kWh. The CEO of Lotus has expressed his intention to go toe-to-toe against the Tesla Roadster with the help of Lotus Evija. It might be a bit difficult, in my opinion, because the Tesla Roadster is infinitely more affordable at $200,000 than the $2.1 (est) million Lotus Evija. Also, the 0-60s time claimed by Lotus Evija is less than Tesla Model S P100D, thus I doubt it’d be able to take on the Tesla Roadster which is set to be the fastest Tesla yet.

7. Tesla Roadster 2020

New Electric Cars Tesla Roadster
