Also from the VW Group, Porsche’s electric Taycan became something of an unofficial flagship for the German automaker. Over the past year, the Taycan outsold the 911, the car the company is known for. It shows if done right, drivers are quite happy to switch from gasoline to electric power. Porsche also unveiled the Cross Turismo, GTS and GTS Sport Turismo to further broaden the Taycan’s appeal. Audi also launched its e-tron GT in the first half of the year, also part of VW Group, it shares many parts with the popular Taycan.
French marque Citroen unveiled its adorable electric city car, the Ami, this year too. This is perhaps one of the more unique EV reveals we saw this year, MotorTrend certainly seemed to think so. While talking about French EVs, let’s swing by Renault.
Even though the Renault Zoe was launched way back in 2014, 2021 seems to have been a halo year for the small electric city car. As it’s now the fourth best-selling EV in Europe. This year also saw the Peugeot 208e and Fiat 500e take to our streets in a big way. Both are proving popular across Europe and also feature in the top 10 best-selling EVs in Europe.
