Currently, electric vehicles are all the rage, and their popularity is only growing with time. There are now more than 400,000 EVs on the road worldwide, and that number is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years as more and more people realize the convenience and money-saving potential of these fantastic machines.
VW claims it will produce an all-electric car line-up by 2025. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS showcases electric luxury, and BMW and Audi are planning a similar strategy for their upcoming electric cars. While there are many plug-in hybrids on the market, there are even more fully electric cars about to hit the road — read on to see the ten upcoming EVs we're excited about!
10 Ford F-150 Lightning
A Ford F-Series pickup truck is arguably one of the most iconic American vehicles. With the F-150 Lightning, Ford seems poised to change American roads and lead the charge of electric vehicles in a way that other cars have not been able to.
The pickup truck offers two battery sizes and has at least 426 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque, starting under $40,000. With various cutting-edge technology, like the ability to power your house for three days during an emergency, the F-150 Lightning might be an essential vehicle of the year.
9 Lagonda All-Terrain
Aston Martin is unveiling a new all-electric luxury brand, Lagonda, using the platform from its DBX. The all-electric Lagonda AT is set to provide similar performance as its petrol-guzzling counterpart and will be able to travel 300 miles before recharging.
Until recently, a Lagonda's luxury standard has only been available in the 2018 Aston Martin Taraf, which hopefully will help it become more popular.
8 Tesla Roadster
The one big exception to the recent lack of information is that the Roadster will accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 1.9 seconds and do the quarter-mile in 8.8 seconds. At $200,000, it's a proper performance-oriented vehicle.
The Roadster is equipped with a 200 kWh battery pack that provides a whopping 620 miles of range.
7 Pininfarina Battista
Limited numbers of Pininfarina's Battista will be a run-of-the-mill electric coupe. Its chassis and drivetrain will be made by Rimac and is the same as the one in the C_Two electric hypercar. The Battista can reach a whopping 186 mph in just 12 seconds and have a top speed of 217 mph.
According to Pininfarina, they have already made a test run of one of the nine prototypes. Prices would start at a cool 2 million, and delivery would begin in late-2021.
6 Aspark Owl
The Aspark Owl will be a one-of-a-kind EV from Japan that produces a massive 1984 horsepower, fast enough to go from 0-60 mph in just 1.7 seconds. Four electric motors with a torque vectoring system will provide the power.

5 Faraday Future FF91
The FF91 has been anticipated for a long time now. It was first unveiled at CES 2017, where its manufacturer said it would break the 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. The FF91 will come with two motors that will produce 1050 horsepower.
The 130.0 kWh battery pack should add about 378 miles of range to the FF91. Unfortunately, we don't know when it'll be available.
4 Lotus Evija
The Evija's production was long-awaited, and the Evija packs a powerful punch, providing 1972 horsepower and 1254 lb-ft of torque and all-wheel drive.
The Evija is estimated to cost $2.1 million and will be limited to just 130 units. It will be made of carbon fiber and is ready to race. Lotus also claims the Evija can charge 80% in 12 minutes or less.
3 Tesla Cybertruck
