Forza has always tried to include as many different sorts of automobiles as possible, and Forza Horizon 5 follows that tradition by including a large number of electric vehicles.

Some of the greatest electric vehicles in this game are fan favorites that have been popular since the game's launch, and some players may not even notice it.

When compared to their gas-powered counterparts, electric vehicles are becoming a more popular alternative throughout the world, and it's only natural that Forza Horizon 5 would feature the best of electric cars hugely.

Outside of serious racing, electric cars are far quieter than gasoline-powered vehicles. This doesn't inherently imply anything positive or negative in Forza Horizon 5. Still, the silence of an electric car allows players to listen to audio sources outside of the game, such as a podcast or music playlist.
