The Future Is Electric Vehicles - That Are Hitting The Road By 2020


"It's looking like the 2020s will be the decade of the electric car."

Bloomberg's Tom Randall summarized the research and offered four critical drivers for the predictions to become reality and for EVs to reach a tipping point:


# 1. Governments must offer incentives to lower the costs.

# 2. Manufacturers must accept extremely low profit margins.

# 3. Customers must be willing to pay more to drive electric.

# 4. The cost of batteries must come down.

"By 2040, long-range electric cars will cost less than $22,000 (in today's dollars), according to the projections. Thirty-five percent of new cars worldwide will have a plug."

Major automakers, including General Motors and Volkswagen, have vowed to roll out more than one fully electric car by 2020. Here's a look at some of the vehicles hitting the roads in the next few years.


Volvo 



Volvo's CEO Hakan Samuelsson said that by 2020, 10 per cent of its global sales will be from electrified vehicles. The company said it will roll out its first all-electric vehicle by 2019. Volvo hasn't released any details about its first fully electric EV. However, it's likely to have a range comparable to its competitors of 240 km per charge or more.



Mercedes B-class Electric Drive



Mercedes-Benz is aiming to launch at least one electric car by 2018. Daimler, which is Mercedes-Benz's parent company, already has two all-electric cars. But the company plans to launch at least one new all-electric car by 2018. Daimler's chief development officer Thomas Weber said the company will debut a prototype of an electric vehicle with a range of 498 km per charge at the next Paris Motor Show.



Tesla Model 3



Tesla Model 3 aims to begin production by the end of 2017. Tesla Model 3 has a starting range of more than 200 miles per charge and can go from zero to 10 km/h in just six seconds. The car will cost $35,000 before incentives and will be about 20 per cent smaller than the company's Model S. 

However, it can still seat five people comfortably.



Faraday Future



Faraday Future says it will have a car on the road within the next four years. The mysterious car startup Faraday Future is promising it will have a car on the road sometime during the next few years. Faraday told Tech Insider at CES that it's working on having its first production car on the roads in the next few years.



Porsche



Porsche plans to begin making its Mission E Concept by 2020 Porsche also unveiled an impressive electric car concept, dubbed as the Mission E. It boasts of a range of about 498 km per charge and is capable of charging about 80 percent in just 15 minutes. The car will also be capable of going from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.



Audi



SUV Audi will launch its first electric by 2018. Audi confirmed that it is planning to begin production of its first all-electric SUV at its Brussels plant in 2018. The new vehicle will be inspired by the company's e-tron quattro concept. It will have three motors, a range of 498 km on a single charge and quick charging capabilities.



General Motors



Bolt EV is going into production this year. General Motors revealed the production model of its first affordable, long-range car called the Chevrolet Bolt EV. The car will become available by the end of 2016 and have a range of about 320 km per charge.



Tesla Roadster



Tesla has plans to introduce a next-gen Roadster in 2019. Tesla will reveal the new model in 2019, according to a statement by CEO Elon Musk last year. Musk said in the statement that the new car will be capable of going from zero to 100 km/h in less than 2.8 seconds, which is faster than its cars can go in 'Ludicrous Mode'.
