These electric cars that do not exist (and it is a great pity).

These five cars are just waiting to be electrified. Yet, the electrification process is delayed, and for some of them, it might never happen.

When it came time to electrify their models, the “traditional” automakers took different paths, and it must be admitted that their logic was sometimes difficult to understand. There were electric versions created hastily based on their internal combustion engine counterparts, entirely electric models designed on dedicated platforms but with confusing naming that made them unreadable, and hybrid approaches that seemed a bit of a mishmash—all of which could really confuse anyone new to electric vehicles.

Over time, all this chaos has gradually settled down, and each automaker now offers a relatively coherent lineup of models and variants.

That said, there are still some gaps in the lineup, which sometimes border on being puzzling. For example, some well-known, if not prestigious, models still lack electric versions, even though it would seem logical for the respective brands to start with them.

A detailed look at the major absentees from the electric revolution, and why their absence is concerning.

What if car manufacturers had forgotten to electrify their most obvious models? An electric Audi A4 that’s been long-awaited, a Volkswagen Golf that’s taking too long to return, a Tesla Model 2 that has become an urban legend... Not to mention the legendary Honda NSX and Porsche 911! In his latest article on Zone Verte on Bevolt, Éric Dupin questions the sometimes incomprehensible choices made by manufacturers.
