Electric vehicles are all the rage these days. For a lot of people out there, it’s all about going green. The environment in which we live is the only one that we will ever have, after all. It’s imperative that everyone does their part to protect it for future generations. But when it comes to electric vehicles, what options are on offer for the upcoming year 2022? That’s what we are going to discuss this article.
Tesla
Tesla is the posterchild of electric vehicles. If there are any lessons to be had in marketing, then they can all be learnt here. Founder Elon Musk has managed to keep the company going strong past the initial headwinds caused by production hurdles.
Those teething problems are now seemingly a thing of the past. In outer space, a Tesla dummy continues to wander around aimlessly.
Not that there is anything remotely aimless about this company. In fact, Tesla is the world’s biggest manufacturer of electric vehicles (EVs). By the 3rd quarter of 2021, the company had sold over 600 000 electric vehicles. That’s more than the just under 500 000 that were sold last year.
Popular Tesla Models in 2022
So, which Tesla models are likely to be popular in the upcoming year 2022?
Model X Plaid 2022
Well, the best selling Tesla model is the Model X. But what’s on offer for 2022? In 2022, Model X fans can look forward to the Tesla Model X Plaid. The Model X Plaid for 2022 will have 350 miles in range.
That’s a lot. It should be enough to convince sceptics who were worried about range anxiety that full EV is the way to go. Of course, the Plaid is the performance version of the Model X.
The Model Y
Another model to look out for in 2022 is the Model Y. The Model Y was once regarded as a great EV crossover SUV. However, with prices now reaching over $60000 some may have begun reevaluating it’s greatness.
If you can afford it, then this is a car that you should consider buying. The great news is that for 2022, the Model Y will come with estimated ranges reaching 330 miles. That’s an amazing range on an electric SUV.
Ford
Though Tesla leads the pack as far as EV are concerned, it’s by no means the only one on the field. Another company that’s making waves in this regard is Ford. But what models can you expect from this company?
F-150 Lightning
One major challenge for electric vehicles, at least in the eyes of some people, is that they represent so much compromise. Take Americans and their love for big vehicles as an example. Could that be satisfied using an EV. Ford has answered that question for the F-150 Lightning.
This is a fully electric truck. According to Ford, not only is the F-150 lighting smart and environmentally friendly, but it also comes with the same robustness that many have come to love in the F-150.
So, going green doesn’t need to be a compromise. In fact, this truck can be used as a power source in the event that electricity is down in your home or wherever.
The 2022 Mustang Mach E
The 2022 Mustang Mach E is the full electric version of the popular Ford Mustang. Again, this is a vehicle to be on the lookout for the the coming year. The Mustang Mach E competes against Tesla’s Model X.
However, the Mustang Mach E is priced a bit cheaper than the Model X. In terms of performance, the Mach E is no slouch. It will take you from 0-60MPH in 3.5 seconds. That’s one of the amazing things about fully electric vehicles.
They, by far, outperform their gasoline guzzling counterparts in terms of power. So, going electric is not a compromise. When it comes to range, the Mustang Mach E gets 305 miles from one charge. That should ensure that you never run out of juice.
2022 Porsche Taycan
Porsche is renowned for it’s performance sports cars. But can it offer the same kind of performance in a fully electric vehicle? That’s a question that you may have been asking yourself. The answer to that is the 2022 Porsche Taycan. In terms of looks, the Taycan definitely more than does justice to the company’s design ethos.
This is a car that looks ready to roar down the road at the slightest of prompts. Indeed, this is a car that can roar down the road at the slightest of prompts. The 2022 Tycan will get your from 0-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. That may be less than the 3.5 seconds offered by the Ford Mustang Mach E, but it’s still an impressive bit of performance.
In terms of range, you get a number of options on the Taycan. The best performing variant is the MY22 Taycan 4S with Performance Battery Plus, offering a range of up to 227 miles on one charge. Believe us, that’s more than enough for most uses. In terms of kilometers, that’s more than 365 on a single charge. So, this shouldn’t be a worry.
Toyota bZ4X
On November 17 2021, Toyota announced the arrival of the bZ4X full electric vehicle in the United States. This all new model puts Toyota among the leaders of the pack when it comes to EV.
The bZ4 comes with a range of up to 250 miles. In terms of looks, this definitely is a joy to behold. The battery is rated to go beyond 10 years at 90% of capacity, which should give you peace of mind through the years.
