Just a decade ago, electric cars were a supporting role in transportation, and even the trailblazers who embraced them didn't necessarily call the segment "sexy."
Tesla started with the original Roadster sports car, followed by a series of cool-looking electric vehicles, paving the way for the new power brand to open up the automotive market, and even driving a wave of electrification transformation of traditional manufacturers in the global field.
This year alone, more than 20 new electric vehicles are planned to be launched, and the market's desire for electric vehicles has never been stronger.
Based on Google's big data search, let's take a look at what electric vehicles in the world have earned enough consumers' eyeballs – even if some cars don't technically exist.
It should be noted that the study, published by Ease Fetcher, used Google search data for electric vehicles in 168 different countries.
On this basis, the team compiled three separate lists of the top ten most popular electric vehicles by location, namely the United Kingdom, the United States and the world. Unfortunately, because Google is disabling software in the mainland and cannot provide corresponding data support, China, the world's largest electric vehicle market, did not participate in this survey.
Top 10 Most Popular Electric Vehicles in the UK Search Rankings
As you can see in the table above, although Tesla is the "ticket jumping" king of the car circle, and its products are often delayed, the British are still full of interest and expectation for its upcoming electric vehicles.
Compared to the US and global lists, UK consumers searched for more electric vehicles made by European automakers, such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Renault. In fact, Tesla and Apple are the only two American companies on the UK list.

Although Polar star is a Swedish automaker, the Pole Star 3 SUV will be produced in the United States and China. In any case, the British were particularly excited about its arrival.
Top 10 Most Popular Electric Vehicles in the United States Search Ranking
Unlike the British, Americans are more interested in electric vehicles launched by American manufacturers, although the content of their list does overlap slightly with that of the United Kingdom.
Cadillac Lyriq
Tesla once again occupies the top two positions, but it is followed by GM's Chevrolet Silverado pickup pure electric version and Cadillac Lyriq, as well as Ford's most popular F-150 pickup pure electric version.
Fisk Ocean
Apple Cars is once again in the top five in the U.S., though it doesn't really exist yet, at least not publicly. Fisker Marine also occupies a unique place in the hearts of American consumers, with Tesla's former rival making a comeback again and preparing to officially launch its flagship pure electric SUV Ocean this fall, which ranks ninth on the list.
In addition, solar electric vehicle startup Aptera has an average of 28,000 searches per month in the United States. Its flagship model, the SEV, is currently in beta and is scheduled to hit the market later this year. Currently, U.S. consumers can spend a $100 deposit to book an electric car that supposedly is permanently recharge-free.
It is worth noting that the data search volume in the United States is much larger compared to the UK data. In the US, the tenth-ranked model has just 10,000 fewer monthly searches than the UK's #1 model, which averages 38,000 searches per month. The difference stems from the number of people in the two countries, as the population of the United States is about 5 times that of the United Kingdom, which also means that more people are searching for the electric car they are interested in on Google.
Top 10 hot electric vehicles in the world search ranking
Finally, Lease Fetcher collected Google search data from 168 of 195 countries, listing the top 10 most searched electric cars on the planet, though you've seen the names of all of them before.
While the search volume is indeed larger in scale, the results are not much different from the two tables above. In fact, they combine to offer the most eye-catching models from the UK and the US.
In this hot search list from all over the world, Tesla is once again at the top of the list. With its beautiful shape, 1.9 seconds of acceleration performance, 1000 km of ultra-long endurance and other selling points, Tesla's new generation OfStar has become the dream car of global consumers.
Unfortunately, just last September, Musk tweeted again that the delivery of the new Roadster will continue to be delayed until 2023, this time giving the reason for the serious shortage of supply chains.
In addition, if we take a closer look at this list, the most interesting thing about it is that of the top five electric vehicles planned to be listed this year, the only one that has entered the delivery is the BMW i4. As for the other four models, although they are all at the top of the hot search list, there are still many unanswered questions at both the technical level and the delivery level.
Chevrolet Silverado Pure Electric Edition
Tesla Cyber pickup
Among them, the relatively reliable is GM's pure electric version of Silverado, considering that the Hummer EV on the same platform has been delivered in December last year, and the listing plan given by this relatively cheaper pure electric pickup truck next year is still a reasonable time schedule.
As for Tesla's Cyber pickup, the hope of delivery in 2022 is very slim, and more signs are realistic that the car will not enter the user's garage as early as 2023.
Apple car hypothetical diagram
Like the Tesla Roadster, which has made a lot of money online, is the mysterious Apple Car, which is rumored to be on the market in 2024, although its legend goes back to 2007. When it comes to Apple electric cars, there are still many more questions than answers, but one thing is certain from these data, people's curiosity about Apple cars has always been very strong.
In fact, for This list of Ease Fetcher, we think it is good for everyone to watch a hilarity, and there is no need to be too real. After all, the team's conclusions are based on "manufacturer + model" search term statistics, not a comprehensive and rigorous study.
For example, do all people who search for "Apple cars" really want Apple's electric cars? Or are they searching for how to connect their iPhones to cars via Apple's CarPlay?
But this interesting study does show that electric vehicles are receiving more and more attention from consumers in the global market, and compared with electric vehicles from traditional manufacturers, electric vehicles with a background in technology companies have a strong eye-catching aura even if they do not appear. 【iDailycar】
