The planet has been exploited for generations, so drastic steps were needed to prevent a catastrophe. The introduction of electric vehicles is a step in the right direction. These vehicles protect the environment while being more efficient than traditional cars. Since people have become more aware, car manufacturers have realized that they now need to shift to electric vehicles.
This automotive company has its sights set on releasing the Polestar 2, a 100% electric car, this year. The reviews have been positive, and it would be interesting to see how they grow moving forward.

The Jaguar I-Pace came out in 2018 as an electric SUV. The model goes from 0-100km/hr, in 4.8 seconds. The plans for Jaguar XJ have been set for 2025. This would allow Jaguar to become a brand with a range of 100% electric vehicles.
2021 saw the company introduce their fully electric vehicle, the XC40 Recharge, with plans of the just-unveiled C40 Recharge to hit stores by late 2022.
The company has plans to release its 100% electric vehicle by 2026 with Mercedes-inspired technology. The plans are to go fully electric by 2030, but many factors have to be considered by the company to move forward with this idea.
The roadmap for going fully electric has been completed. 2 luxury hybrid cars (Flying Spur and Bentayga) have been announced. By 2026 the company looks to have a complete range of electric and hybrid vehicles. By 2030, they aim to become fully electric.
The company aims to transform its range of cars to electric-only between 2025-2030. The sales will primarily be focused all over Europe eventually. Plans are being developed to incorporate a bigger market.
The recent announcement by the EU to ban diesel, petrol, and hybrid cars by 2025 has made it necessary for companies to take charge and push forward. Mercedes-Benz focuses on this by accomplishing a “software-driven future” with no emissions by 2030.
The main focus of the company, for now, is to bring forward Internal Combustion engines by 2025. The company will gradually focus on shifting to an all-electric future by 2033, incorporating more groundbreaking innovations.
