World EV Of The Year included in 2022 World Car Awards

A new highlight of the 2022 World Car Awards will be the debut of the World Electric Vehicle of the Year award.

The 2022 awards season and the 18^th edition of the Road to the World Car Awards journey will begin on August 19, 2021 at the New York International Auto Show in the newly renovated Jacob Javits Center in NYC.

This new award is intended to recognise, support and celebrate the global transition to electrically-powered vehicles and the efforts of automakers around the world in developing these climate-conscious vehicles.

“There has never been a better time to highlight and celebrate the world’s best electric vehicles.  We are thrilled to once again be part of this year’s World Car Awards and are excited about adding this new award to the program,” show president Mark Schienberg says. 

The awards are intended to complement, not compete with, existing national and regional Car of the Year events.

Owned and operated by the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, the New York Auto Show combines new ideas, technological innovation, exceptional concept cars and nearly 1000 of the latest new cars and trucks. 

More than one million people are expected to visit the show from August 20-29 this year.
