Five of those vehicles are due this year: the Audi Q8 hybrid SUV, Hyundai Kona electric crossover, all-new Jaguar I-Pace EV (pictured), plug-in Subaru Crosstrek crossover and a plug-in version of the Volvo S60 sedan.
The rollout accelerates to 29 models in 2019 and 27 in 2020. At least 15 EVs and plug-in hybrids are on tap in 2021 and 16 in 2022—with additional models likely to be announced later—AN says.
Volkswagen Group leads the way with 14 models in the works, followed by General Motors and Mercedes-Benz/Smart with 11 each. Several startup companies also are listed, including Bollinger, Byton, Elio, Faraday Future and Lucid.
