2015, Enviable electric cars and SCV solar energy

The new year is upon us and exciting innovations are happening all over the transportation and technology industries. The up-and-coming brand Hendo Hover just released a video of Tony Hawk testing their fully-functional hover board. Marty McFly would be so stoked! Google is working on a fully-automated, self-driving car, promising to make car accidents a thing of the past. Despite these awesome innovations, the greatest breakthroughs of 2015 will be made in the realm of new EV or electric vehicles. Almost every major car manufacturer has promised to roll out a new EV in 2015...and they look amazing.

The BMW X5 eDrive

This luxury hybrid plug-in is the electric SUV of your dreams. It is capable of learning your driving style—the way you navigate, how you steer, and how much you accelerate. It claims it can even help you avoid accidents.

VW Passat GTE Plug-in

Going from 0 to 60 mph in under 8 seconds, the VW Passat GTE Plug-in is an average-priced, high-performance electric vehicle for the environmentally conscious racer in us all. With a top speed of 136 mph, the Passat GTE Plug-in also boasts a 31 mile all-electric range.

Audi A3 e-Tron

Available only in Germany for the moment, the Audi A3 e-Tron will be released in the US later this year. Boasting a coveted 5 star European safety rating, this Audi plug-in hybrid will be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds.

Rimac Concept One

This crazy Croatian sports car is all electric and is sure to drain all your bank accounts. For a cool $1 million, you can take this little beauty for a spin from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds.

Volvo XC90 T8

A plug-in hybrid SUV, the Volvo XC90 T8 is the perfect car for the whole family. Volvo states the T8 can go 25 miles on pure electricity between charges.

2016 Chevy Volt

A new-and-improved version of the Chevy Volt adds a sporty edge to the original design. The designers also added a fifth seat, giving it an even broader customer appeal.

Tesla Model X

But the Tesla Model X is the EV we are most excited about—an undeniably cool crossover complete with falcon doors. Though we have only seen the concept designs, it looks like the most awesome and most practical electric car we’ve ever seen.

These are just some of the many new EVs set to launch this year. It’s clear that the market is turning away from gas-powered vehicles. As the major car manufacturers continue to throw their money and their best designers into research and development for the next great EV, the rest of the world is changing to accommodate their accomplishments.

The carpool lanes are now a special perk for lone EV drivers. Charging stations are popping up in front of malls and local grocery stores. Green Convergence is actually sponsoring one of these stations in front of the SCV Whole Foods. Be sure to look for our logo there! We believe these stations are crucial to helping the community save money and drive sustainably.

Many of our customers go solar with us to offset the cost of charging their EVs, which we are happy to do. At Green Convergence, we strive to power and empower our community with the most efficient, cost-effective and beautiful solar arrays available so that our customers can stop stressing about their monthly energy bills and start enjoying the beautiful place we live in with their families and friends.
