EV Boost

It’s interesting to note that every story in this month’s news section, bar one, covers electrified drivetrains. Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and the boffins at Affalterbach are all poised to deploy electrons in their future product, with the technology focused not on efficiency gains, but rather weaponised for performance. You only have to consider the prospect of a 450kw+ Alfa Romeo Giulia coupe to appreciate the electric revolution holds plenty of interest for enthusiasts. Our first tastes of the Jaguar I-pace (p50) and Mercedes-benz EQC (p18) SUVS both offer plenty for keen drivers too, so is boosting the minute demand for EVS, especially in Australia, simply a case of build it and they will come?
