As the 2030 ban on the sale of new diesel and petrol cars gets closer, manufacturers are launching an ever-increasing number of new battery electric vehicles.
Here we look at 14 of the most important models for fleets on the horizon.
Audi A6 e-tron
Available: Early 2024
Range: More than 400 miles
Audi will enter the electric executive saloon space next year with the A6 e-tron and A6 Avant e-tron. Only a concept version of the new model has been revealed so far, but it suggests the A6 e-tron will have little in common with the existing A6.
Like the current Audi e-tron GT , the A6 e-tron is being co-developed with Porsche. It is expected to use a 100kWh battery, giving a range of around 430 miles, and have a power output of 470PS. A cheaper version may also be offered, with a 300-mile range.
The car will be capable of adding 186 miles worth of range in just 10 minutes and will have an estimated starting price of £60,000.
BMW i5
Available: October
Range: 362 miles
The electric BMW 5 Series will become a reality this year, filling the gap between the current i4 and i7 models in the car maker’s line-up.
Sales are set to commence in October, when company car drivers will be able to order the eDrive40 variant and a range-topping M60 model. An estate version will follow in 2024.
