The competition to sell Hybrid and Electric cars is heating up and in 2019, we're getting a taste of what's to come! Many things have been said about Electric vehicles are getting a boost in development. Companies like Volvo and Geely are developing electric cars to replace the gas car, in a few years.

Rivian R1T truck (Cost $69,000)

A pickup EV is a radical idea, but one that has 400-mile as its cruise range is amazing. With a depth limit for wadding at 3 feet deep too. It is an all-wheel-drive that is good enough, pick up EVs are a novel idea as of now. Fast acceleration and more space on the truck, and lighter body with less moving parts too. Electric SUV is but a beginning and will get better!

2019 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid (Cost $100,650)

 The advantages of hybridized technology is now an option for the Porsche Panamera. Though not fully electrified yet, this car has a 2.9-litre V6 engine. One of the more powerful hybrids that's akin to a land rocket too. Factor in the 462 horsepower that includes electric motors, used in shifting from electricity to gas. Though a hybrid, it has performance and handling that is better than a standard engine.

 Another hybridize car that still kicks out with a combo gas and electric motor that is in between. But, it's not short on horsepower with more than enough supplied by its hybrid engine. All sports cars performance with a minimized carbon footprint, a car for the new generation. Is it slowed down by a hybrid combo? Hardly with 2.4 seconds in 0-60 mph when accelerating. This one is premium but worth the price tag!

2020 Porsche Taycan (Cost $ 90,000)

Other equipments as standard are high-speed rear-wheel steering, air springs, active anti-roll bars, and other extras. Innovation with flaps that improve streamlining too. A range of 311 miles per charge and fast acceleration too.

Byton M-Byte (Cost $35,000)

Just like Tesla before it. Byton wants to redefine what an electric vehicle is! This company is applying disruptive tech that appears as a wide digital screen dashboard, replaces a traditional one. Developing software that will be fully autonomous so cars can drive themselves. It will incorporate social media while driving too and be fully digital.
