Batteries and big price tags are all the rage at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.

While it'll be tough for any carmaker to top the buzz Ford Motor Co. has already generated with the debut of its Mustang Mach-E sport utility vehicle, several other new electric models will be looking to share the limelight.

Volkswagen AG's Audi plans to unveil its e-tron Sportback, a coupe version of its battery-powered crossover, and the German giant's namesake brand is set to take the wraps off a zero-emission concept car. BMW AG and Toyota Motor Corp. are rolling out plug-in hybrid versions of their RAV4 and X3 models, and Hyundai Motor Co. will foreshadow what a future gas-electric compact SUV of its own will look like.
