🔋The 2024 BYD Han boasts a range of 506 km (CLTC), which extends up to 715 kilometers in the version with an 85.44 kWh battery. During today&#8217;s event, it was emphasized for the first time that the car features a silicon carbide chip inverter and an 800V architecture. However, the charging speed of the largest battery being limited to 155 kW indicates that the entire high-voltage system is not yet ready for 800V.
🚗In the performance version of the car, a dual-motor powertrain capable of producing 517 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque is used, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds.

#Audi has introduced its first car developed on the all-electric PPE platform, the Q6 e-tron.
The Q6 e-tron, which is priced 10% cheaper than its sibling model, the Porsche Macan EV, developed on the same platform, stands out with both more compact and lightweight electric motors and a large prismatic cell-based massive battery.

Audi, using NCM811 cathode cells produced by Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) in Germany, states that the larger cell form facilitates battery production. Additionally, it emphasizes that the newly developed smart thermal management system enhances battery life by continuously conditioning the battery and reduces charging time.
Regarding the engine, the company claims a 50% increase in efficiency compared to the first-generation electric Audis and states that it can produce more power with smaller motors by increasing power density by 62%. It should be noted that the Q6 e-tron uses an asynchronous ASM motor at the front and a permanent magnet synchronous PSM motor at the rear, differentiating it from the electric #Macan.

HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Critical battery investment from Chinese Geely in the USA!
Geely one of China&#8217;s largest automobile groups is buying Proterra Powered. The company has been operating in the field of battery supply for electric buses and commercial vehicles in the USA for 20 years for $ 210 million!
Proterra Powered is a battery and motor manufacturer affiliated with Proterra, which filed for bankruptcy protection in August 2023 due to difficulties in supplying battery cells and seeking funding. 20 years of experience and customer portfolio will be transferred to the Chinese with the agreement.
Proterra Powered&#8217;s battery solutions were previously used by Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey for the Citi VOLT electric bus. The company has a battery pack/module development center in California and a battery assembly plant in South Carolina.
Geely made the $210 million purchase through the Sweden-based Volvo Group The Group operates within its own organisation, and can use Proterra&#8217;s battery experience in Volvo brand commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars.
The Chinese giant, which was preparing to launch its Zeekr sub-brand, which produces only electric cars, to the stock market in the USA, was planning to expand its sales network in Europe in 2024, while in 2025 it had the desire to open up to the US market. In a possible US car factory investment, Proterra&#8217;s battery facilities could be a great advantage for Zeekr.
The company recently announced that another brand, Polestar, will be produced in South Korea in agreement with Renault to avoid 2.5%+25% customs duty in the US.

Critical Battery Investment In The US By Chinese Geely

Togg

Turkey&#8217;s first domestic car project finally hit its stride. Togg, the Turkish EV maker established in 2018, officially announced today that their first electric vehicle is ready to be launched. Pre-orders will start March 16th.
Togg&#8217;s first vehicle is called Togg T10X. It&#8217;s an all-electric C-SUV co-designed by Italian Pininfarina and Volkswagen&#8217;s former head of designer Murat Gunak. The compact vehicle is almost 4,6 meters long, and 1,836 milimeters wide.
Since 2018, Togg&#8217;s Turkish shareholders (Zorlu Holding, Turkcell, BMC, Anadolu Isuzu) spent around €1.8 billion, constructed a huge production facility from stratch in Bursa, a northwestern industrial city. Togg has started trial production back in October 2022, a fleet of Togg vehicles have been on the roads for testing ever since.

Initially, Togg T10X will be offered in two variants: T10X V1 RWD Standard Range and T10X V2 RWD Long Range. These models have 52.4-kWh and 88.5-kWh battery packs, respectively. Chinese Farasis signed an agreement with the Turkish EV maker to supply battery cells and also establish a joint venture for producing battery products locally in Turkey. At first, those packs will be imported from China. After Farasis and Togg&#8217;s joint battery plant starts operation, Turkish EV will feature locally-made battery cells.
The powertrain consists of an 160-kW electric motor located in the rear axle. T10X can produce up to 350 Nm of torque and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.8 seconds. (7.4 sec for the standard range variant)
T10X&#8217;s WLTP range is 532 kilometers. The standard range version offers only 314 km. It supports up to 180-kW DC and 11-kW AC charging. It takes 28 minutes to charge from 20 to 80 percent. The T10X Launch Edition doubles the AC charging speed as it comes with a 22-kW charger.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/togg-c-suv">Togg T10X Specs and Price</a>
Togg T10X&#8217;s starting price is $49,300 (€45,990) in Turkey. The long range model costs even more at $64,000 (€59,750). Deliveries will beging in April 2023. Togg officially confirmed that they will produce around 20,000 EVs this year. The annual production capacity is expected to hit 175,000 in the next couple of years.
<h2>Togg is Coming to Europe in 2024</h2>

According to recent statements from Togg CEO M. Gurcan Karakas, company&#8217;s first vehicle will hit European shores sometime in the second half of 2024. Togg T10X will probably cost less than what Togg&#8217;s asking in Turkey. That&#8217;s because of the considerably higher tax rates on automobiles in the country.
Last year, Turkish automaker has started its global expansion by setting up its Germany branch in Stuttgart. They also have been eying for a whole vehicle type approval in Europe. Togg T10X will probably be ready to go on sale by the year&#8217;s end.
