Electrification shines at 2018 New York Auto Show

With so many options for electric and hybrid powertrains, now is a good time travel green.

Watch this: Check out the electrified drivetrains at the New York Auto Show

While we here at Roadshow enjoy the wail from a supercharged V8 Dodge Demon or the corner carving precision of a Porsche 911, we also dig on the silence of a pure EV and the boost of electric torque from a plug-in hybrid.

There were plenty on offer at the New York Auto Show this year, with Lincoln, Volkswagen, Toyota and Hyundai showing off their alternative power plants.

Check out the video to get a look at the electric or hybrid car that might just be yours in the near future.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.
