2023: The Year of the Electric Vehicle? The future of cars is electric. This is not a contested statement in the auto world today. It is more a question of when that future will demonstrate itself in the market place. Some are predicting that point will be 2023. There are certainly a number of indications pointing in this direction. One of the advantages that electric vehicles (EVs) have is the reduced footprint of their drivetrain. The primary bulk of an EV is the massive battery that usually spans the bottom of the car, opening up space in the interior.
