Volvo’s first electric vehicle has been rated for range. The upcoming Audi E-Tron GT electric car makes an entirely different sound than the Porsche Taycan. And a global study confirms that interest in EVs has only risen during the pandemic. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
Audi paid a lot of attention to the inspiring soundtrack made by its E-Tron GT—both inside and outside the cabin. It’s one of many intriguing technology bits we expect to learn more about before the Taycan-based GT’s mid-2021 U.S. arrival.
