German automaker Audi have returned to the EV stage this week with the announcement of their second all-electric vehicle: the e-tron Sportback.

Lexus have teased their first electric model for a Chinese reveal later this month.

Another automaker has teased their electrification ambitions. This time: Hyundai. They’ve revealed plans to launch 13 new alternative-fueled models over the next three years.

The electric revolution is speeding up. It was only a month ago that Porsche revealed the all-electric Taycan, and they’re already back at it with the announcement of lower-cost variant due for launch next year. We look at price, specs, and make the inevitable Model S comparison to see what the Taycan 4S has to offer.

The fun at Frankfurt continues and one of the companies people are particularly excited to hear from is MINI. They’ve now officially revealed their first electric model and it looks like more of what fans have come to love from the iconic British brand — even if they are owned by BMW.

Volkswagen made waves this month with the reveal of the ID.3 electric hatch, but it looks like it’s the next EV off the line — VW’s first electric SUV — that Australia will be seeing first. We dig through the reports, the interviews and the concepts to see what the production ID.4 SUV might look like.

The ID.3 has been revealed in Frankfurt, marking the 3rd generation for Volkswagen and the beginning of their full-scale transition to electric mobility. With range, specs, and price on their side, the ID.3 is set to be a game changing EV for Europe — but Australians aren’t so lucky.

Mercedes are playing the anticipation game with EV fans this week, dropping cryptic teasers on their social channels ahead of the Frankfurt International Autoshow starting next week. Is this the S Class equivalent of the EQC? Judge for yourself.
