They may not yet account for a significant amount of all new car sales, nor will there be any at least in the coming years.
But even with only 3 percent of the overall market share, electric cars are today the biggest buzz in the global and domestic car market.
With more and more manufacturers attracting a cannon to this field, with a few exceptions, it will be the main focus of innovations in the field.
The Israeli market is also going to see lots of new models joining the local offering.
We paused for a moment to choose the more interesting ones.
From popular and cheap brands to the pinnacle of luxury cars.

AIWAYS
The young Chinese carmaker has impressed a lot with its debut product the U5.
Which offered very good range, behavior, comfort and spacing.
True, it also has gaps to reduce in terms of human engineering and a required improvement in safety score, but given the first product, one can be optimistic.
What is?
Another U6 model will join its offering.
Which is not a completely different model, but only a coupe-like vehicle on the existing base.
That is, with the 204-horsepower electric propulsion unit and the declared range of about 400 km.
When here?
In the first half of the year

First and direct response from a premium manufacturer to Tesla's Model 3 (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
BMW
BMW will have two interesting trams in 2022. The first is quite early and the second maybe towards the end of the year.
They are part of BMW's extensive move to relatively extensive electrification of its model offering. In part it is done by converting existing models to electricity like the iX3 and in some cases dedicated electric models like the iX.
What is?
The BMW i4 is actually an all-electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, which is a designed version of the 3 Series. The offer for now stands at two propulsion units, the eDrive40 and the M50. For the first time 340 hp, acceleration of 5.7 seconds per 100 and a range of 590 km. The second with 544 hp, acceleration of 3.9 seconds per 100 and up to 510 km range.
The second car is the electrically equivalent i7 to the 7 Series which has not yet been officially unveiled, but is in the final stages of development.
When shown it will be BMW's answer to Mercedes' EQS.
There are no full official details, but it is known that it will have two propulsion versions, the first with 326 hp and the second with 600 hp.
The range is expected to be about 600 km.
When here?
The i4 is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2022 and the i7 towards the end of the year.
Genesis GV60 First Dedicated Electric (Photo: Manufacturer's Website)
In Genesis, Hyundai's luxury brand, go for the combined track. Introducing dedicated electric cars alongside conversions of existing models on offer for electric propulsion. In the coming year there will be three of these, the first of the dedicated type and the other two based on existing cars.
What is?
The manufacturer's dedicated model is the GV60, which is based on the Hyundai Ionix 5, but here the sharp lines of the Hyundai are replaced by a sculpted body with curves and with the design marks of Genesis in the lighting units (the grill in this case becomes a bit redundant). The batteries and performance are expected to coincide with those of Hyundai -
217
hp for the base version with rear-wheel drive and 306 for senior with dual-propulsion.
400 km. The other conversion is that of the manufacturer's GV70 compact crossover which was also introduced in an electric version here with 490 hp and a similar range.
When here?
The GV60 is expected to arrive as early as the first quarter of 2022, alongside the electric G80.
Later in the year he will join them during the first half of the year.
Small, cheap and with a problematic crush rating - Dacia Spring (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
Dacia
Relying on existing Renault platforms, Dacia wants to do to the electric world what it has done for petrol and diesel cars since its introduction - offering a cheap and simple alternative to transportation. Only this time she'll do it with electric cars. The first of these is the Spring.
What is?
The Spring is a small electric car the size of mini cars such as the Hyundai i10, etc. but with an electric motor. The power is very modest - 43 hp, numbers like we have not seen for two decades in the local market, but it should not go beyond the city limits or at least the nearby suburbs, and there it is mainly the moment that matters. km. The recent Spring crash attempt does not inspire confidence with a lone star receiving the vehicle.
When here?
Officially it should start selling here as early as the first half of the year.
Tekel's, the Ministry of Transportation has already registered a single unit with a declared price of NIS 110,000.
Which will make it the cheapest real electric car in Israel.
Toyota BZ4X, what will happen to these names (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
Toyota
Toyota has not really accelerated the path to developing pure electric cars.
While the other manufacturers are knocking a hysterical sprint for electricity in order to evade or reduce the fines they will snatch due to the total pollutant emissions of their cars, the Japanese Toyota has been invested in the hybrid worlds for many, many years.
And the development of her electric cars she did in moderation, until these were presented in a glorious show of strength recently.
What is?
The BZ4X is Toyota's first pure electric swallow.
The design is futuristic and spacious and the dimensions will be very generous - its exterior dimensions are larger than those of the current Rav4.
The power ranges from 204 to 217 hp. The declared range in both versions is the same - 450 km.
Toyota's goat: A statement about the expected reduction of the battery - 10 percent for 10 years or 240,000 km. What no manufacturer has done before it.
When is it here?
In the second half of 2022
Tesla Model Y, will you recreate the matter? (Photo: Manufacturer's website, Manufacturer)
Tesla
Three more models are expected to join the offer of the American car manufacturer Tesla in Israel. The company that transformed the Israeli market in 2021, when its Model 3 became an unprecedented local hit and the best-selling model in Israel for private customers.
What is?
The newest on offer from the manufacturer and the most anticipated is the Model Y. A kind of microvan / crossover with the option of a 5 or 7-seat configuration. Like the Model 3 it will be offered in LR versions and also a strong performance. It is expected to offer a range of about 500 km from its basic version.
Two other models that are expected to arrive are the Model X, which is a large minivan / crossover with the "Falcon" doors that open-fold upwards. Also in several performance levels and ranges. The saloon is expected to arrive and also offer the plaid version that declares 2.1 seconds per 100. And in fact is the fastest serial car in acceleration to 100 km / h for those for whom it is very important
when here?
Come on, it's Tesla.
She did not inform anyone when she was coming and she is not doing it now.
It is possible to order anyway.
Mercedes EQE (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
Mercedes
Mercedes, like BMW, has the forceps approach to the electric world - dedicated models that will be built on a basic electric platform and models that were the conversion of those with internal combustion engines to electric propulsion.
This will also be the condition of the electric car seen from it this year.
What is?
Mercedes' barrel has the EQB, which will be a converted version of the manufacturer's GLB Jeep 7 seats, and the EQE, an electric saloon car based on the E-Class whose gospel has a driving range of 656 km.

Citroen
If 2021 was the breakthrough of electric cars in the private sector, the current year may be the year in which the commercial market is also going to connect to the power outlet.
The leader in the field of tandems at a high level - Citroen - with the Burlingo is also expected to introduce a very nice supply of electric commercial vehicles.
While the ranges are very low, the use of these tools for urban distribution vehicles may be revolutionary in terms of their operating costs.
What is?
Three main models and their derivatives will be presented here in 2022.
The Burlingo (and its Peugeot and Opel counterparts), the Jumpy (and its Zafira twins) and the big boxer.
Everyone will use the Stalantis electric motor found in its small power tools - 136 hp and with 50 kWh batteries will offer as mentioned very short ranges - between 222 km in the big boxer and 275 km for the Burlingo.
When here?
The exact marketing date is not yet clear, but they will come.
Skywell, compact model and minivan (Photo: manufacturer's website)
Skywell
Another Chinese manufacturer that entered Israel this year with the first product intended for Western markets is Skywell.
It came to us with the electric ET5, which offered a lot of equipment and dimensions for the shekel and was well received.
Probably considering his relatively short marketing time and without extensive advertising activity.
But next year will be the one in which it will expand its activities in Israel.
What is?
These are two models, ones that will be located below and above the ET5.
The smaller model will be a compact crossover whose concept it rests on can be seen in the illustration above.
The second model that will put them in a relatively pristine category is a 6 or 7-seater minivan that will offer a range of over 600 km.
When here? The
exact arrival date is not yet known
Volkswagen ID.4 Twin brother of the Skoda Aniac (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
Volkswagen
Maybe this time?
Two years after it was introduced and when its twin Skoda Aniac is already here, at least on paper, a Volkswagen ID.4 will be coming here.
The model is part of a wider deployment of Volkswagen electric models including ID.3, ID.5 and ID.6 its massive deployment and shift towards electricity for two reasons.
1. This is what its big and important markets want.
2. Dieselgate and this and I do not add words ...
what is it?
An electric crossover that sits on Volkswagen's dedicated platform, shares assemblies with the Skoda Aniac and with the Audi Q4 e-tron and other models in the future.
The engines are offered in
the power range of between 150, 204 and 302 hp and rear or dual propulsion

Kia EV6 Kia's dramatic entry into the world of electricity (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
As with their other models, also at the entrance to the world of electricity, Kia, Hyundai's subsidiary uses a common electric base for two. True, this is not really her first-time entry and she was with such a solution back in the previous decade with an electric version of the Kia Sol and now with the electric Kia Niro (a new generation will be introduced soon). But this is the first time she's doing it with a dedicated model.
What is?
It does sit on a common base with the Hyundai Ionic 5 but in slightly different dimensions, and it is quite clear that the exterior design is in a completely different language. In terms of propulsion systems it converges to numbers of 58 kWh or 77.4 kWh batteries. The power supplies with the more modest battery are 170 in the single-engine version and 235 in the two-engine version. And with the longer-range batteries it will have 228 hp in the single-engine version and 325 hp in the two-engine version. The range data has not been published in full except for those of the rear-wheel drive version of the 77.4 kWh batteries which will stand at 510 km.
When here?
Really soon, during the first quarter

MG Marvel, will be the brand's flagship (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
MG
The Chinese manufacturer MG, which is actually the export arm of the car giant SAIC, has a basic share in the field of electricity in Israel. Before Tesla arrived and turned the table on the local market, it was the electric MG ZS that introduced electric cars in significant numbers to the local market. The competition that moved forward also brought the ZS to catch up with large batteries and improved range and it has already started to be sold on paper here. But there are two other interesting new models on the way.
What is?
The first of the two is the Marvel R - this is a fairly large crossover with 467 cm from end to end and a wheelbase of 280 cm, which is surprising to find that the trunk has a relatively modest volume of only 357 liters. In terms of engines, batteries and range, there is a 70 kWh battery that with a single engine will provide 180 hp and a range of 402 km. The dual-propulsion version with both engines has 288 hp and a shorter and shorter range in general - 370 km.
The manufacturer's second model is the MG5 EV.
This is a power conversion of a family station wagon in which an electric motor and batteries are implanted.
The engine delivers 156 hp and the batteries come in two packages, 50.3 kWh that will offer a range of 320 km and a larger package of 61.1 kWh and 400 km.
When here?
Both the Marvel R and the MG5 EV are expected to arrive At the end of the first quarter of the year.
