Bentley Goes Electric

By 2026, luxury automaker Bentley will have axed its 12-cylinder gasoline-powered monster-engine, in favor of plug-in hybrids and pure battery EVs; by 2030, the latter will become 100% of the output.

At 5400 pounds, the Bentley needs some serious torque so as not to disappoint its affluent customers, and it is for this reason that electric makes so much sense.  One of the reasons that Teslas are selling like hotcakes is that, when it comes to performance, they compete with Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

On top of everything, there are many wealthy people who care about the environment, making this a win for everyone.
