Automakers around the world have been scrambling to launch their own dedicated electric vehicles. And according to the latest, Mazda will be next.



The Zoom-Zoom brand, long known for developing unconventional and innovative powertrains, will reveal a completely new, all-electric vehicle at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show next month. The word comes via Automotive News from Mazda spokesman Yoshikazu Nagai, who said that the new EV will be a "brand new model," not based on anything else it currently makes. And it could be the first Mazda to use a rotary engine since the RX-8.
