There are many online searches for vehicles already available for sale. But there are also a large number of questions that Internet users are asking about vehicles that are not yet offered to the general public, in particular the electric versions.
A study published by Lease Fetcher, and relayed by Electrek, features three rankings of the most wanted electric cars, but not yet available in 2021.
Tesla comes out on top, but not with the same models
With specific rankings for the United States and Great Britain as well as a third worldwide, the figures from this study by Lease Fetcher make it possible to target which vehicles are the most anticipated and desired. For the year 2021, Tesla comes out on top.
However, at retail, Americans and Britons don’t seem to have the same expectations. Indeed, in Britain, the Tesla Roadster tops the list with 456,000 searches, or around 38,000 per month, ahead of the Tesla Cybertruck, with 444,000 searches, or 37,000 per month, and the BMW i4, which has its active 360,000 online searches, or about 30,000 per month.
On the other side of the Atlantic, on the other hand, it is the Tesla Cybertruck that arouses the most expectation and curiosity among Internet users. With 3.312 million searches in 2021, or approximately 276,000 per month, it surpasses the Tesla Roadster, which has 3.144 million searches, or 262,000 per month, and the Chevrolet Silverado electric version, with 2.748 million searches, or 229,000 per month.
We will still have to wait a while for the Tesla Roadster and the Apple Car
There is thus a definite difference between the expectations of the market in the United States, which has eight vehicles manufactured by American firms in the top 10 of Lease Fetcher, and the market in Great Britain, which has more electric cars from European brands. For example, the Cadillac LYRIQ, fifth in the US, doesn’t even make the top 10 searches in Britain.
As for models whose release dates are not yet known or at best assumed, the Apple Car does well, with a fourth place in the United States (2.196 million searches) and a sixth place in Great Britain ( 84,000 searches).
The performance is even greater for the Tesla Roadster, knowing that in addition to the figures mentioned above, it is the most searched electric vehicle not yet produced globally in 2021, with 8.532 million searches in 2021, or approximately 711 000 per month. The international podium is completed by the Tesla Cybertruck, with 7.296 million searches (608,000 per month) and the Apple Car, with 5.880 million searches in 2021 (or approximately 490,000 per month).
Finally, in terms of podiums by country, the trend is very tight. The Tesla Roadster comes first in 56 countries, compared to 54 for the Apple Car. All you have to do is wait until they arrive in the circuit.
The end of the commercialization of thermal engines, gasoline and diesel, is announced for 2035 in France. This government announcement follows the global trend: many countries have already announced the death of diesel and gasoline.
