Many manufacturers are planning the production of electric cars in 2022. These cars will be designed to be energy efficient and also provide comfort for drivers who want a vehicle that is low maintenance. Drivers can expect to see more hybrid cars with this type of battery power as well as models that run purely on electricity.

 

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of people driving electric vehicles.

1. Ford F-150 Lightning 

Since its debut in 2005, the Ford F-150 Lightning has been a leader in the full-sized truck market. The lightning is a limited production pickup truck that is built by hand at the Dearborn Truck Plant. It was introduced to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the F-150 and it has become a collector's item for anyone who appreciates classic American trucks. In honor of its 10th year, Ford plans on releasing a special edition model that will commemorate the anniversary.

IonIQ 5 is the fifth installment of the IonIQ series, and it's uniquely designed to innovate in an ever-changing automotive industry. It's made to be a wealth of features that will work for everyone, from a young person just starting a family to a retiree who handcrafted their retirement handbag collection.

3. Kia EV6 

The Kia EV6 is a new electric vehicle that was unveiled at the 2019 New York Auto Show. The car will be released in 2023 and has received rave reviews from automotive experts who are excited about its release. The EV6 does not have an established price range but is expected to cost around $30,000 when it's released. In the past decade, the new EV6 from Kia is a new sensation that has been highly anticipated by many. The M7 electric engine is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly ways to drive as it provides an impressive range of up to 322 kilometers on a single charge. In addition, it is capable of going from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds, which is faster than some gasoline-powered vehicles.

In an effort to grow its presence in the innovative car market, Nissan Ariya was introduced as a new line of electric vehicles. The first model, a sedan, comes with a 130-mile range and a three-year/36,000-mile manufacturer warranty. Japan's Nissan, which is the world's second-largest carmaker by sales volume, has been hit hard by a decrease in global demand for cars. In an effort to combat this downturn, Nissan unveiled its 2017 global branding campaign and slogan: "NISSAN: INSPIRED BY INNOVATION."

Along with this campaign launch, Nissan presented its upcoming offerings to the world during the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck frunk and bed accessories

The BMW i4 gets us really excited and is, for us, one of the most hotly anticipated cars of 2022. Sure, a select few customers got their keys in late 2021 at the BMW Welt, but serious numbers won’t be seen until 2022. 

Now, anytime someone mentions liking the i4, the Tesla uber-fans start hurling 0-60mph statistics like angry chimps in the forest. But we feel that distracts from the real draw of the i4. It will lose to the Model 3 Performance in a lot of categories, but the i4 will offer something in terms of driving feel and a sense of luxury that is going to really touch a nerve. There are a lot of people out there that will find themselves drawn to full BEVs through the Gran Coupe form factor of the i4 M50. 

We can’t wait to try one out! 

7. MG5 Long Range Refresh 

We love a good estate car here on this YouTube channel. And we were really impressed by the MG5 when we drove it a few months ago. It was amazing value, but it wasn’t a great car. MG are refreshing it with updated software, new bodywork and an upgraded battery. 

It’s going to have a 250+ miles range, 180+ horsepower, 580-liter boot…and all for around €30,000! It’s not the sexiest car on the list…but we need more good-value EVs out there and this is a welcome break from the SUV form factor! 

8. Lucid Air Pure 

Ok…so we’ve kind of already had the Lucid…but they’ve been the upper-end editions that are hugely expensive. What we’re really looking forward to is the ‘Pure’ edition. Let’s call this the…eh…’affordable’ Lucid!  

So it’s cheaper, with a smaller battery of 85kWh usable and not quite as much luxury. But this is still a car with a whopping range that will be well over 300 miles in the real world! 

 

9. Citroen Ami 

We debated this one hard…but in the end it came down to diversifying our list. Although we love the likes of the Tesla Model Y, we get a little tired of crossover SUVs dominating the EV conversation. So when something like the Ami comes along, we get really excited. I mean just look at it! 

Where I am in the UK, we’ll get it for around £6,000. And considering how cheap it will be to run we reckon that’s not bad! In France, as this is classified as a quadricycle, you can legally drive it at the ripe old age of 14! 

But there are downsides…it’s slow, and won’t even reach 30mph. Range from its 5.5kWh battery will be around 40 miles, and it’ll charge up from a regular domestic socket in about 3 hours. 

Citroen…I’ll have two thank you very much! 

10. Ola S1 Pro Scooter 

And last on our list is something that I am buying the second I can get my hands on it…it’s the Ola scooter. There’s a couple of versions, but I’ll be going for the 4kWh S1 Pro that’ll do around 100 miles and reach speeds up to 70mph! 

But the best thing about the Ola is not just the specs and really impressive tech…it’s the price! We don’t yet know the exact pricing as it will translate to the US or European markets, but it’s almost certainly going to substantially undercut the likes of Vespa and Niu’s offering!  

Cannot wait to see these zipping around! 

Runners-up 

And some honorable mentions now….We decided to keep the Tesla Cybertruck off the list. Why? Not because it doesn’t deserve to be there…but because we feel like it’s been around for years already and we’re not sure that it’s actually going to arrive in 2022, at least not in significant numbers. 

We’re also leaving off the Hummer EV. Why? Well, we’re not sure it’ll make 2022. But also, it’s not something we’re particularly excited about. It’s an amazing exercise in terms of testing what can be done with an EV. Something that size moving that fast is incredible…but for us we can’t see its practicality and use-case scenarios being something truly valuable. Maybe a controversial one…let us know in the comments! 

And we haven’t even mentioned the Rimac Nevera…agh there’s too many to choose from! 

Summary  

So there you have it folks, our picks for the 2022 year.  We found it so tough to settle on 10…and you know what…if we did this list again in a month, we’d probably change our minds again! But that’s a great thing! A list like this would have been so boring even 5 years ago…but now…look at the choices we’re getting!
