  • The 7 most anticipated electric cars in 2023. What are they?

    Electric vehicles (EVs) are steadily gaining ground on roads worldwide. Prominent automakers are unveiling their first EV models, while some brands are becoming exclusively associated with electric mobility. Many first-time EV drivers are discovering they like the experience—or at least find it thought-provoking, sparking discussions and evaluations. It’s evident: EVs are the future.

    In 2022, numerous EVs hit the roads, surpassing expectations despite ongoing chip shortages and long delivery times. Global statistics reveal that 13% of all new vehicles sold were fully electric. 2023 is set to continue this trend, likely breaking EV sales records. While we’ll check the stats later this year, let’s explore some eagerly awaited EVs set to debut in 2023.

    Audi A6 e-Tron

    The highly anticipated electric version of the popular Audi A6 model is set to debut. While retaining its signature elegance, this fully electric model introduces a fresh design language.

    Highlights include ultra-fast 800-volt charging, a 100 kWh battery, a range of up to 700 km on a full charge, and acceleration to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds.
