"Electric cars are the future, and each year we've seen automakers add more EVs to their lineup. Everyone is working on electric vehicles, from well-established existing manufacturers to new names such as Byton, Lordstown, and Rivian. We've compiled a list of every electric vehicle, from concept to production, that isn't available yet but will be soon."

Read on to learn all about the fascinating EV models we can expect to see in the near future:

Just like mobile phones can be charged wirelessly if you place them on a special pad, EVs can easily be charged if positioned over a similar device.

This will present a number of new advanced and more effective wireless charging options for EVs in the near future. Moreover, building charge panels into certain sections of the road, drive-through takeaways, parking spots, and anywhere else can become real quite soon.

Most EVs can fully charge overnight. This is a great option if you are charging your car at home. A public rapid charge point can raise an EV's charge level to 80% of its range in about 30 minutes.

Nowadays, you can even get a smart charge point to set up at home. You may set a scheduled time for when to get your car ready, and the charger will make sure to consume electricity when it's cheapest to do.

Not at all. An electric vehicle is way less likely to break down than a petrol or diesel car as it's got fewer moving parts.

The EV maintenance costs are also a pleasant surprise for many drivers. EVs don't have parts like a gearbox, clutch, exhaust, starter, etc. that need to be repaired or replaced, like in a plain car. Even the brakes on an EV get much less wear and tear since the electric car manufacturers get to use regenerative braking.

Despite this popular concern, only 5% of EV users have actually run out of charge on the way.

The navigation systems in some EVs are even equipped with the capability to show you public chargers closest to your location and guide you there.

Following big investment in the UK’s charging infrastructure, there has never been a better time to buy a new or used EV.

There’s been a great increase in the number of electric vehicles on sale in the UK. Nissan, Tesla, Ford, and Vauxhall have extended their model lineups to include affordable plug-in models. Volkswagen has gone one step further and created the electric-only ID range, and Mercedes-Benz has created its innovative Mercedes-EQ models.

"2021 has shown that we can expect to see demand for EVs far out-stretch supply. The significant tax and CSR benefits mean that a large majority of this will be in the company car fleet market, where some leasing companies have reported 90% of orders being for BEVs."

Visitors may expect to see a wide choice of the most interesting electric vehicles on the market, thanks to the presence of some of the world's leading automotive manufacturers.

And yes, we know a motor show wouldn't be complete without a few surprises, and there will always be enough to see and do with fascinating attractions and unique events.

EV drivers enjoy the road-trip-worthy range, power on demand and may drastically lower their environmental and financial footprints thanks to improved battery technology, drivetrain innovations, and engineering breakthroughs.

If you're still not convinced, purchase a plug-in hybrid and see how much driving you can do on batteries alone over the week. Then wait three to five years to see how good EVs are.

Many agree that electric vehicles are the way of the future, but they are not an innovation.

Around 1832, Robert Anderson created the first primitive electric vehicle, although vehicles did not become practical until the 1870s or later.

Don't go for the biggest, most powerful charger. Because most owners never allow their batteries to drop below half full, virtually every Level 2 home charger, the one that operates on 240 volts, will top off your EV batteries overnight, and frequently in only a couple of hours.

A 42-amp charger with an industry-standard NEMA 14-50 wall socket is the sweet spot.

By 2025, the electric car market is anticipated to be worth approximately $1.5 trillion. By 2025, 97 million automobiles are estimated to be sold globally.

Another benefit of converting to an electric vehicle is the lower cost of charging compared to fossil fuels. Driving an EV costs roughly half as much as driving a gasoline car, according to the Department of Energy's eGallon.com.

The decision might significantly influence the UK's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Cars that rely purely on fossil fuels will be phased out within the next decade, with hybrid vehicles being phased out slightly later in 2035.

EVs are becoming increasingly popular, and numerous manufacturers are already offering plug-in variants. Many more are expected to enter the market during the next few years.

Even though certain electric vehicles, such as those from Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, and Tesla, have been on the market for years, a growing number of individuals are interested in getting EVs within the next decade.

Rapid chargers are typically used by commercial vehicles such as taxis, delivery trucks, and couriers and are meant to provide a quick charge in about 30 minutes.

Through the Go Ultra Low City Scheme, London boroughs have also installed more than 2,000 on-street home charge stations, with more than 3,000 expected to be installed by spring this year.

"From next year developers on sites such as supermarkets and office blocks will be required to install electric vehicle charging points, in an attempt to help phase out the use of petrol and diesel cars before sales of them come to an end in 2030. The government expects the move to lead to 145,000 new charging points each year."
