As more advances in technology are being made, 2019 and beyond looks like the beginning of the electric car takeover. They may have been around a few years already, but people often turned their noses up at the thought of having an electric car because there was a perception that they would possibly run out of charge, they didn’t look the part and maybe weren’t fast enough. Well, that’s all beginning to change, and more and more manufacturers are prioritising their electric car manufacturing process’.
There are 2 types of electric cars or those of you not in the know, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug in Hybrids. The difference between both? Well, your BEVs are the ‘true’ electric car. They run solely on electric power. In comparison, the Hybrid has a two-part drive system, your conventional fuel engine and an electric drive. Best of both worlds, especially if you’ve never owned an electric car and are thinking of purchasing one.
It’s not just obscure car brands making electric vehicles anymore, your favourite car manufacturers have entered the electric world in a big way. Look at BMW. They’ve come out with their ‘BMW i3’, with its visionary design on the outside coupled with a futuristic interior, there may not be a better time to go electric.
Volkswagen have also stepped up their electric car game in the past couple of years, too. They have 2 electric cars on offer, the ‘e-golf’ and ‘e-golf’ executive edition. Both designs have everything you’d expect from a VW, it’s sleek, modern design now completely reimagined as an electric car. Of course, how could you forget Toyota? The manufacturer that has championed the hybrid movement in recent years. They’ve added even more options to their extensive range of Hybrids which now includes the ‘Camry Hybrid,’ returning to these shores after 14 years now as a hybrid. Of course, you still have the ‘Corolla Hatchback’ but you now also have the option of a ‘Corolla Saloon’. And completely new this year, the ‘RAV4 Hybrid’, an all-new self-charging Hybrid with a 2.5 litre engine.
