The auto industry has been struggling to stay relevant in the digital world. With new ride-sharing services, such as Ola and Uber, appearing on a daily basis, it seems as if there’s no end to the disruption that digital companies are bringing about. However, this is not something that traditional automakers can easily deal with.
They all need a way out of this, and what’s perhaps more important for them, is how they can reduce the risks associated with staying relevant in the digital world. Hence, a new age of electric cars has arrived – one that won’t be threatened by disruptive technologies but which will rather bring disruptive technologies into a new era of relevance. This is because these cars are expected to eliminate any risk of irrelevance for the auto industry.
Audi e-tron
Audi is one of the most prominent car companies in the electric car world today. In fact, the company was the first one to bring an electric car to Indian roads. And, it’s now all set to bring a fully autonomous electric car to Indian roads. By the end of the year, the Audi e-tron will hit Indian roads, and it will be the first fully autonomous electric car from a major car maker to be available in the Indian market.
Audi is aiming to bring this car to Indian roads at a price point of about Rs 1 crore, which is a huge investment for the company. However, considering all the benefits that the car is expected to bring to Indian roads, it will definitely be worth it.
Volvo Ocean Racecar
Cars like the Audi e-tron are only a part of the new age of electric cars. Another important part of this new age of electric cars is the race car. And, what is more, interesting is that it’s currently being built by Volvo – a car company that’s been associated with racing for a long time now. The car is expected to be launched in the year 2021. What makes this car so special? Well, apart from being one of the first-ever all-electric race cars, it’s also expected to be extremely fast. Volvo is aiming to bring this car to the race tracks of Europe, the United States and Asia.
The car is expected to be priced at about $2.5 million and it’s expected to be able to travel about 250 miles per hour. If you’re wondering why this car is so special, then you should know that it’s only the second electric race car ever made. The first electric race car was made by the Chinese car company LeMans. However, the Swedes beat them by two years by building a car with all-electric components.
Baidwan Baidwan EV
One of the most interesting aspects that the new age of electric cars introduces is the fact that it will make it easier for car makers to offer a zero-per cent financing plan for electric cars. Baidwan Baidwan EV is currently all set to bring this kind of financing plan to the Indian car market. The company is promising a zero-per cent financing plan for electric cars and is currently targeting the premium electric car segment.
Baidwan Baidwan EV is currently all set to bring its zero-per cent financing plan to the Indian market by the end of the year. And, this is expected to be an extremely interesting financial option for the people of India because electric cars are currently not very popular in India.
If the company delivers on its promise of zero-per cent financing for electric cars, it will turn out to be a game changer for the Indian car market. The car, which is currently expected to be available for purchase from the end of the year, is expected to be priced at about $60,000.
BYD F Long-Range EV
If there’s one car maker that’s all set to make a mark in the new age of electric cars, it’s BYD. The company is expected to launch the first-ever all-electric SUV in the world, the BYD F3X.

The car is expected to be launched in the Indian market in the year 2023, and it’s currently all set to bring a huge revolution to the SUV segment in the Indian car market. The car is expected to offer an extremely spacious and comfortable ride, which is expected to be extremely appealing to the people of India, who are currently buying SUVs.
The car is also expected to bring in a new age of luxury in the Indian car market, and it’s expected to be priced at about $140,000, which is a pretty big investment for the Indian car market.
