The COVID-19 pandemic has surely thrown up roadblocks and upset many plans, leading to many delayed EV productions, releases, unveils, and more. But things are gradually getting back to normal!
Do you want to know which new models we will see in the next couple of months? Then keep reading and learn about the upcoming electric cars of 2022 and beyond!
In the world of motors and engines, every turn of the year comes followed by excitement and expectations for the upcoming future. This year, the hype mainly revolves around the rapid, ever-evolving EV market.
Many of our favourite car manufacturers (and not only them!) have been working hard to deliver in 2021, 2022, and beyond some incredible, not longer so futuristic fully electric vehicles bound to revolutionize our driving experience in a greener and more sustainable way.
This applies both to the kind of engine and the materials used, leaning towards vegan choices or recycled plastics to which is given new life and purpose.
The electric transition is already happening
Many might think of an electric turnabout to be far down the road, but the truth is that electric cars have already become a reality and have slowly but relentlessly started to take the place of regular gasoline-powered cars.
All over the world, new policies supporting electrification and therefore promoting the market transition are being adopted. This effort aims to fulfill the climate commitments and reduce CO2 emissions.
But this is not the main reason why drivers switch to EVs: driving an EV is in fact considered to be a pleasurable experience rather than a duty towards the environment.
As a matter of fact, increasingly more charging stations and charge solutions are rapidly spreading all around us, along with better electric technology and infrastructures, driving range, speed, costs, and many other critical factors, therefore improving the overall experience and contributing to boosting the EV market.
The green demand is growing – and car manufacturers are keeping up
As the EV market rapidly grows, it is becoming more and more evident that electric vehicles have nothing to be envious of when compared to the classic, petrol-powered vehicles.
Automakers know that, and many have decided to invest in electrification to meet the ever-increasing demand and kick off a new era of fully electric vehicles.
How many EV models are available?
BNEF estimates that there will be more than 500 different EV models globally by 2022, leading to a 58% EV share of new car sales by 2040.
It doesn’t matter if it is an SUV, a sports car, a bus, or a truck: every road vehicle can potentially be electric.
How have car manufacturers approached vehicle electrification?
As more and more EVs enter the market, it is interesting to notice how carmakers have decided to deal with and get involved in the EV trend.
This is what is happening:
- Many well-known and established carmakers have decided to broaden their offering by developing completely new models or series that are fully electric (ex. Mercedes-Benz EQ lineup);
- Many car manufacturers have opted instead for reinventing themselves and launching an updated, electric version of famous pre-existing models (ex. Fiat with its 500);
- Other carmakers have given birth to a new side branch of the brand specifically to produce new electric cars (ex. Hyundai with new sub-brand IONIQ);
Some brand new electric car manufacturers have appeared on the market as well – either started from scratch or got out of the shade of other big brands by getting independent (ex. Lucid Motors).

Volkswagen ID.SPACE VIZZION – expected: sometimes in 2023
Volkswagen is working hard towards a greener and more sustainable future, and to do so the German automaker is working on a number of ID. Concept cars to be released in the upcoming years.
Among these lays ID. SPACE VIZZION, a car that will be fully electric, just like all the other members of the ID. family. It will be officially presented at the end of 2021, therefore not many details have been made public so far.
What we know is that the SPACE VIZZION is extremely roomy, and environmentally friendly in both its engine and its interiors, made of sustainable materials such as the innovative fake-leather material named AppleSkin™.
Furthermore, SPACE VIZZION will support an AR display for showing driving information, and we are very excited to finally see it at work.
Range: Volkswagen est. 700 km
Top Speed: n/a
Conclusion
As we can see, the future of electric mobility appears to be most definitely diversified, especially thanks to the recent and uncontainable technological advance that allows us to look towards unprecedented solutions and innovative ideas, and therefore give free rein to creativity.
The sky’s the limit – and this is valid not only in regards to the vehicles but also the supporting infrastructures. We are certain that carmakers won’t slow down and will keep making giant leaps forward.
Even though it is not possible to predict what the future will bring, we know for a fact that the wheels are already turning, that progress never stops and that things are already moving.
Anyways, looking at the upcoming EVs of 2022 and even beyond, we cannot help but being very hopeful that the goal of an emission-free future will eventually be achieved – and maybe, this possibility is not that far down the road. Certainly, we have now been proved that going electric does not mean giving up on anything, nor settling for less. Going electric is equivalent to a completely new, just as satisfying driving experience – and yes, also for everyday use.
