As more electric vehicles (EVs) are released, the competition also increases. This means automakers are constantly coming out with new car technology and features to help their EVs stand out.

Many EVs are set to be released in late 2021 or early 2022. Here’s a breakdown of five electric cars to look out for in the next year, according to

Many electric cars are set to be released in 2022

2022 BMW i4

BMW’s tiny i3 and the exotic i8 have been around for a while. In 2022, BMW will release the i4 which is more like a traditional sedan. The i4 starts at about $55,400, and BMW says it will have an electric range of up to 300 miles. The eDrive40 model features a single rear-mounted electric motor with 335 horsepower, while the M50 mode will have 536 horsepower.

The four-door vehicle is expected to compete against other midsize EV sedans like the Tesla Model 3.
