  Bentley's First, All Electric Car Source:  Bentley Fast, Powerful and Elegant EV UK-based luxury automaker Bentley is developing a very sophisticated, powerful and fast all-electric car that has 1400 hp and can accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 1.5 seconds.  That would make it the fastest production car of all time.  The news comes from Bentley CEO Adrian Hallmark.  If the acceleration time is a bit too fast for you, Bentley will offer the option of a slower 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, which is just about as mind blowing.  This spectacular vehicle will be Bentley's first, full-electric car.  It will hit global market in 2025.  Hallmark provided the news in a recent interview with Automotive News Europe. Tech Specs The new electric Bentley is expected to be designed as a luxurious grand tourer.  The CEO revealed that the price of one version of the EV will be in the neighborhood of $262,500.  The EV will be built on Audi's Premium Performance Electric platform.

It uses 4G & 5G, high speed wireless transmission to communicate with its command-and-control center for remote control of the aircraft and real-time transmission of flight data. The EHang eVTOL is expected to win full flight certification any day.  Meanwhile, a second company Shanghai-based TCab Tech is making tremendous progress with its E20 eVTOL air taxi, which is piloted and carries 4 passengers. Their 50% scale prototype has successfully made numerous flights demonstrating the effectiveness of the design to takeoff, hover and transition to winged cruise f
