Description of  Electric Vehicles For All (Important Innovations Collection)

The future of driving is clearly electric. GM, Ford, BMW, Hyundai and virtually all global automakers are pouring billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicles (EVs) for use this decade. My latest book Electric Vehicles for All profiles the newest EVs coming out in 2020 and the hottest concept EVs that will roll-out throughout the decade. The investment infusion is designed to create EVs priced right for global masses by bringing down the price of electric batteries, electric components and smart, autonomous technology. Theres also a big innovation push to get far greater range for the EVs on a single charge. Hyundai alone is investing $87 billion to create a lineup of quickly produced EV models from sedans to SUVs and trucks. Theyve partnered with US startup Canoo to design a common platform a skateboard like frame to facilitate speedy, easy and inexpensive EV production. The government of India wants 200 million EVs on its roads this decade. Indias giant conglomerate Tata Group supports the goal. Tata is creating what it calls an ecosystem of charging stations around India, battery production and even an inexpensive EV SUV priced at $19,000. Some of the unique and very exciting EV models that we showcase in the book include Hyundais hybrid, electric and solar powered EV Sonata. We profile Mercedes spectacular concept EV Vision AVTR thats all-electric, all-autonomous and straight out of the Avatar movie. Tesla is the global leader of EVs and they are about to launch their Model Y a small SUV that CEO Elon Musk believes may be their most popular model ever. Tesla is also putting finishing touches on its Cybertruck, a stainless steel EV pickup that is one of Musks favorite projects. GM is resurrecting the Hummer as an electric pickup. Ford is reinventing the Mustang as an electric SUV. Porsche is forecasting record 2020 sales in the US led by its electric SUV, the Taycan. Kia, BMW, Subaru, Nissan, VW, Toyota and many other global automakers are all rolling out new EVs throughout this decade. Kia will unveil 11 new EVs by 2025. Subaru expects to be selling only EVs by 2030. There is much more to the EV story beyond cars. Electric bikes are forecasted to be immensely popular during the 2020s particularly in Asia. We profile a number of them, including Jeeps powerful new electric mountain bike and the Twike, which is a 3-wheeled electric scooter. Flying taxis are a big part of the future transportation mix with Larry Page & Boeings Wisk Aero, Germanys Volocopter, Hyundais S-A1 and Joby Aviation flying electric taxis all leading the way. Also in the book, we profile a new form of urban transportation, the electric URBY. Also, the dawn of all-electric commercial air travel. And a fun, new electric sports vehicle: the Bobsla from Austria. The future of transportation is electric with zero emissions, thats green and clean. The 2020s are the decade of electric vehicle transportation. A big green push to go electric is underway as governments tighten their emissions standards to clean the air and consumers choose electric vehicles for their zero carbon emissions. I hope you enjoy taking a look and getting details on the latest EVs and exciting concept EVs as much as I enjoyed researching and writing the book. Thanks and best, Author Edward Kane Read more
