The biggest star of this year's Paris Motor Show is definitely the Mercedes Generation EQ concept study, which heralds different times for the Mercedes-Benz brand. It responds to the range and battery problem that plagues all electric vehicles by promising a range of over 500 kilometers.

The Karma-Fisker was definitely a crowd pleaser and gained millions of fans around the world. When his story ended in 2014 due to the bankruptcy of the company, the automotive world was very disappointed. Its uniqueness was represented by an extravagant design and a drive that was always electric. The car solved the range problem by using a 260-horsepower GM engine to generate electricity. Quite similar to the Chevy Volt (Opel Ampera), but on a different level. The Chinese and their capital helped the phoenix rise from the ashes. They intend to create a new successful automotive story at the Fisker-Karma site.
The Audi Q7 e-tron is at least as futuristic as its name. It is an incredible excess of technology in which all of Audi's ideas about the future of mobility are gathered. The so-called plug-in hybrid hides a 3.0 liter TDI in its nose, assisted by an electric motor. In the ideal combination of the two, the Q7 becomes a sports athlete that needs only 6.2 seconds from 0 km/h to 100 km/h. Of course, it is also available to customers in Slovenia.
The Gi FlyBike is a folding electric bike that folds in a single second and is more than the ideal means of transportation for urban environments. Thanks to its aluminum frame, it weighs less than 17 kilograms, it is connected to a smartphone that serves for navigation and participates in automatic unlocking/locking, and it also charges the phone while driving. It is powered by a 250-watt brush motor, and the battery offers 64 kilometers of "autonomy".
GinzVelo is a velomobile, i.e. a car-bike that goes as fast as a car. It is a tricycle with a closed cabin, which, in addition to the power of the rider, can also be powered by a 500-watt motor in the hub of the rear wheel, which is powered by a 48-watt battery. It is the child of inventor Peter Ginzburg, who himself calls it a human-electric hybrid vehicle (HEH Vehicle), and he is looking for customers through a Kickstarter campaign.
The Immortus electric vehicle is the world's first solar-powered vehicle that can be driven indefinitely, as it does not require recharging. It is the vision of the future of the Australian company EVX Ventures, which as an alternative to the sun offers a drive on electric HUB motors on the rear wheels, which is provided by a 10 kWh lithium-ion battery with a night range of 400 kilometers. The first prototype of the vehicle will be shown to the public for the first time through a puddle at the SEMA Show in November 2015.
On the market, electric bicycles are growing like mushrooms after the rain, so their price is steadily falling, and their popularity is increasing. But in order to be able to talk about the "e-epidemic" of e-bikes, the price - in addition to weight, the main minus of such bikes - will have to drop a bit. Even before that, customers have a great alternative - ONwheel. A device that turns a regular bike into an e-bike in seconds. The battery and 800-watt brushless electric motor weigh just over 800 grams, which makes ONwheel kill two birds with one stone - weight and price.
Among the flood of electric bicycles, which all serve the same purpose and differ from each other in the same way that smartphones differ from each other in terms of appearance (so practically nothing) - of course there are bright exceptions - the Ubco 2x2 multifunctional electric bicycle stands out from the competition. This 174-kilogram two-wheeler not only looks different, but also behaves differently from the others. It is an all-terrain bike and a true multi-tasker, as you can use it to transport heavy loads in the morning, and chase off-road trails in the afternoon.
The Bolt M-1 is still fundamentally "just" a bike. You can drive it. But the point is, you don't need one. It is an electric bike with a battery that can take you 80 kilometers on a charge, and it can "cruise" at a speed of up to 64 km/h. The high-tech bicycle with regenerative brakes is connected to a smartphone, where through a special application you can access all collected data such as speed, distance, etc., and you can also unlock it wirelessly.
The Trefecta DRT is an electric bike for geeks from the future and an attempt to get people to give up car transportation more en masse. But many people have a hard time saying goodbye to the comfort and technology they bring. The Trefecta company therefore offered them an e-bike that can hide even many cars, as it is equipped with technology that is not even found in steel horses.
Electric bicycles have experienced a real boom in recent years. How could they not, when for many they turn the previously too difficult snacks into tireless rides. Whether it's for the elderly, whether it's for people who commute to work and don't want to come to the workplace sweaty. But many do not have the privilege of going to work and errands only by bicycle, as the distances are too great. This is where A-Bike Electric comes in, the lightest folding electric bike in the world that you can easily combine with other types of transportation.
It started with the rickshaw, a two-wheeled vehicle with one or two seats pulled by a human being. These were replaced by wheeled rickshaws, which are not only found in Asia, but also in the West. Then came the Piggio Ape vehicles, which were not environmentally friendly. The next step in the evolution of rickshaws is Lindo, Kyle Armstrong's easy-to-operate electric and eco-friendly rickshaw.
