Citroën

Citroen E-C4 is a family electric SUV unveiled for the European market in 2020. It has 136 horsepower and a 50-kWh battery pack offering 350 kilometers of range in the WLTP cycle. E-C4 supports rapid DC charging at 100 kW rate, can reach 0 to 80 percent charge in 30 minutes.
Although E-C4 is a fully electric vehicle, the platform it is being built is not. Petrol and diesel options of the same car also use the same underpinnings, because of that E-C4 can’t give you the futuristic battery electric car vibe, like Tesla Model Y. But it has a proper modern design and very comfortable suspension, driving around with E-C4 is a joy, lack of petrol/diesel engine noise is also a very big plus.
E-C4 starts at around €35,000. It is being manufactured in Spain and it will be available in the most of Europe before the end of this year. There are three trim levels for the car: E-C4 Sense Plus, E-C4 Shine, and E-C4 Shine Plus.
<h2>Performance</h2>
Citroen E-C4 comes with a front-wheel drive single electric motor that produces 136 HP, 260 Nm torque. Top speed is 150 km per hour, and it can reach 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds. It’s a mediocre acceleration performance, but steering is very light and driving feels very comfortable.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Citroen made dramatic changes to C4’s design, and E-C4 is the first electric version to enjoy new exterior. Front of the vehicle looks very radical, headlights are uniquely shaped, fog lights are very big. Grille is not closed like other EVs. Roof line sloped very sharply over the back, gives the car a coupe-like profile.
Electric version of the Citroen C4 almost looks exactly like the combustion engine version. French carmaker follows the trails of the Audi by making ordinary looking electric vehicles.
Suspension and steering are so comfortable that you will feel like riding in a luxurious vehicle with the E-C4.
There is a wireless charging pad under the infotainment display. There are USB ports (USB A, USB-C) both in the front and back. There is also a tablet mount for the front passenger, probably the first of its kind in a vehicle. This tablet computer mount allows passenger to enjoy any digital content he/she want to consume while enjoying the comfortable ride.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Citroen uses a 50-kWh battery pack in the E-C4, that gives the car a range of 350 kilometers in the WLTP cycle. Rapid charging supported. With the 100 kW DC plugs it can be topped up from %0 to %80 in approximately 30 minutes. 11 kW AC charging, on the other hand, will fully charge the battery in 7.5 hours.

Exterior of the e-tron S does not look beyond its time or anything, unlike most other EVs. Because Audi wants its customers to feel like they’re driving a vehicle not much different than petrol/diesel engine cars. German carmaker accomplished that so far with the e-tron models.
On the inside, virtual cockpit display behind the steering wheel provides you with tons of features via steering wheel controls, as a result, you don’t need to use other screens very often. 12.1-inch infotainment system in the e-tron S supports wireless Apple CarPlay. Audi just recently started supporting the wireless Android Auto, as well.
There is a secondary display just below the infotainment system. 8.9-inch screen is mostly dedicated to climate control. But when you want to enter a destination to the navigation system, this screen turns into a pad where you can easily write your destination. Back seat passengers also have a climate control touchscreen, and two USB ports for charging their mobile devices.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Audi e-tron S 55 and e-tron S Sportback 55 have a 95-kWh battery pack. Both models have a range of 374 kilometers in the WLTP cycle.

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.

🏭 It was revealed that Toyota has been reporting falsified test results for certification in some vehicle safety tests since 2003. Today, transport officials raided a Toyota plant after the CEO Koji Sato apologized for the company&#8217;s misconduct on some test results yesterday.
The company is now on the agenda with the factory raid of ministry officials in Japan after CEO Koji Sato apologized in front of the cameras yesterday.
⚡Some of Daihatsu&#8217;s production licenses have been canceled and production has been stopped in four of its factories. The scandal emerged with the confessions of an informant within the company. The case spread to diesel-engined Land Cruiser, Hilux, Toyota, and Lexus brand vehicles in the second wave. Production of these vehicles was also stopped until real engine emission tests were completed.

Toyota’s False Test Results Scandal Expands!

BMW ended gasoline/diesel engine production in Germany!
The German automotive giant stopped the last internal combustion engine production lines in its country. The Munich factory has been producing engines for 60 years. It will now only assemble automobiles.
A budget of 400 million euros has been allocated for the transformation of the factory that will produce electric vehicles developed by BMW on the &#8216;Neue Klasse&#8216; platform. Approximately 1,200 workers working in the engine department of the factory will be trained and employed on vehicle assembly lines.
The Munich facility currently produces the BMW i4 model. Starting from 2026, the new generation of electric BMWs will leave this facility.
Internal combustion engine production, which ended in Germany, will continue at BMW&#8217;s facilities in Steyr, Austria, and England.

Volvo

Diesel Volvo production ends in early 2024.
Volvo is closing its diesel era at the beginning of next year. The company had a 58% share of diesel-engine vehicles in 2019. Last month, diesel&#8217;s share fell to only 8.9%.
One of the three models sold by the Swedish company, which will sell only electric vehicles in 2030, last month was fully electric or plug-in hybrid. With the fully electric EX30, the share distribution is expected to change more quickly in favor of electric. The vehicle will be launched soon in Europe and America.

The current situation in Europe was also effective in Volvo&#8217;s decision to finalize diesel. In 2015, diesel sales accounted for more than 50% of the European automobile market. In the same year, Volvo&#8217;s diesel vehicle sales peaked with an 88% share. Today, the share of diesel car sales in Europe has fallen to 14%.

One of China&#8217;s biggest automakers, Great Wall Motor, plans to set up an electric car facility there. The firm, which has made headway in discussions with the Presidential Investment Office, is reportedly considering opening a plant in Turkey for duty-free sales in the European market, according to the news of Aysel Yücel from the Economy Daily. The company does not have sales in Turkey yet.
Great Wall, which launched its formal sales in nations including England, Germany, and Sweden with the entirely EV-focused ORA brand, also makes batteries under the SVOLT brand thanks to its investment in Germany. The company said it will soon set up factories for the manufacture of battery cells at five locations in Europe, with Turkey possibly being one of them.

Great Wall Motor continues to make cars with internal combustion engines for the SUV brand HAVAL, which set sales records in China. However, the company has not yet advanced to the level of BYD and Geely in the conversion to electric vehicles. However, the company wants to produce more plug-in hybrid cars and stop making cars with gasoline and diesel engines by 2030. The goal in Europe is to set up five cell factories, a facility for electric vehicles with a 5–20 GWh capacity, and to extend manufacturing across the continent.

Chinese Coming to Electric Vehicle Investment in Turkey: Great Wall Motor

Tesla

The electric vehicle rivalry between Tesla and BYD is heating up. Both brands have grown much faster than their competitors and have made a difference in sales. However, there is confusion about who is the market leader.
Although some sources tout BYD as the new leader of the electric vehicle world, Elon Musk&#8217;s company is still the clear sales champion. According to data released over the weekend, Tesla sold 889,015 fully electric vehicles in the first half of 2023. In BYD, this number was announced as 616,810.
The reason for the confusion is that BYD stopped selling gasoline/diesel and hybrid vehicles last year. For this reason, it is assumed that all sales are electrified. However, the company, which achieved 1.2 million sales in the first six months of 2023, uses an all-electric system in half of its vehicles, while the other half includes a plug-in hybrid, that is, a power group with an internal combustion engine. Some sources&#8217; evaluation of plug-in hybrid vehicles in the electric vehicle class is causing leader confusion.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-37705 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="750" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-300x300.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-150x150.jpg 150w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-768x768.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD-1568x1568.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-or-BYD.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Although Tesla seems leader for now, it doesn&#8217;t seem like it will take long for BYD to catch up with him. The Chinese giant, whose 2023 target is to sell 3 million vehicles, will be closer than ever to Tesla&#8217;s expected sales volume of 2 million with sales of approximately 1.5 million fully electric vehicles.
The change of leadership is considered certain to take place in 2024. In order for Tesla to become the leader again, it needs to make the Model 2, which will be priced at around $25,000, ready for mass production as soon as possible.

Who Is The Leader Of The Global Electric Vehicle Market?

Skoda

A press conference was conducted by Skoda today to unveil plans for a real EV invasion, with no less than six models arriving by 2026 to address diverse market niches. Leading the charge will be the Elroq, a &#8220;Compact&#8221; model that will be on sale in 2024. It is being created as the Karoq&#8217;s electric replacement and will be around 4.5 meters/177.1 inches long.
The year 2025 will be particularly busy for the Czech automaker since it plans to release the second-generation Enyaq &amp; Enyaq Coupe as well as an entry-level EV that SEAT will produce in Spain. The subcompact variant, which is now just known as the &#8220;Small,&#8221; will be around 4.1 meters/161.4 inches in length, have load space similar to the Scala, and have a starting price of about $26,700/€25,000.
The &#8220;Combi&#8221; expected in 2026 will likely be the most intriguing of the six. According to Skoda, the wagon will be roughly 4.7 meters/185 inches long and resemble Octavia. The &#8220;Space&#8221; will enter the lineup in the same year as a seven-seater SUV that is 4.9 meters/193 inches long and has &#8220;enormous interior space.&#8221; The 2022 Vision 7S concept has previously given a sneak peek of the three-row family car.
<h2>Skoda Hopes That Sales Of Evs Will Make Up 70% Of All Yearly Deliveries</h2>
By 2027, the Volkswagen Group will invest $6.1 billion/€5.6 billion in these six cars, which are planned to sport the company&#8217;s new &#8220;Modern Solid&#8221; design language. By the end of the decade, Skoda hopes that sales of EVs will make up 70% of all yearly deliveries. Meanwhile, &#8220;car sculptures&#8221; that showcase the expanded electric portfolio are giving us a rough indication of the new aesthetic approach across numerous categories.
Skoda states that the Kodiaq and the Superb liftback and wagon from the next generation will both go on sale this fall and have plug-in hybrid powertrains. The brand&#8217;s &#8220;most cutting-edge gasoline and diesel engines&#8221; will be used to power the ICE variants.

Skoda Plans No Fewer Than Six Electric Vehicles for 2026

Nissan

Making its mark on the European market with the electric range extender Qashqai e-Power, Nissan gave the first signal for the transition to fully electric vehicles. Guillaume Cartier, Europe Manager of the Japanese automotive giant, announced that Nissan will start producing three popular SUV models electrified in the next few years.
Nissan&#8217;s best-selling models will officially get an electric version between 2025 and 2027. The company, which will first launch the electric Nissan Juke model in 2025, will use the CMF-EV platform, just like the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/nissan-ariya-e-4orce-87-kwh">Nissan Ariya</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/renault-megane-e-tech-ev60">Renault Megane E-Tech</a>.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-33071 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/nissan_qashqai_ev-side-mockup-1.webp" alt="" width="900" height="596" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/nissan_qashqai_ev-side-mockup-1.webp 900w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/nissan_qashqai_ev-side-mockup-1-300x199.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/nissan_qashqai_ev-side-mockup-1-768x509.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />
Along with the all-electric Juke, the e-Power version will also be on sale. In 2030, the company predicts that completely electric vehicles will account for half of its global sales. Nissan will remove gasoline and diesel engine models from production in a few years.
<h2>Three Electric SUVs Incoming</h2>
After the electric Juke, the fully electric Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail will be launched in 2026 and 2027.  The CEO of Nissan Europe stated that the company took the first step toward electrification with e-Power. All three SUVs would be available to consumers with electric models in a few years.
Nissan Ariya, which left the X-Trail behind in European sales last year, can offer a range of about 500 kilometers with a 90 kWh battery. It is most likely that the electric Qashqai and others would have a longer range.
Based on the timeline announced by the Nissan executive, it seems unlikely that these models will catch up with the solid-state batteries developed by the Japanese company. Nissan, which is developing its own solid electrolyte lithium-ion cells, planned to use these battery cells for the first time in 2028, which will provide much higher energy density and high-speed charging capability of 400 kW.

Electric Nissan Qashqai, Juke and X-Trail Officially Confirmed

Did a fast-moving Tesla catch your eye recently? Asyou all know, American company produces the fastest production car on earth. You might be wondering what type of engine it uses to get that fast. Here is the answer:
<a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a> don&#8217;t have engines. While traditional vehicles have internal combustion engines, Teslas come with electric motors and large battery packs to power them. And furthermore, there is neither a petrol/diesel engine nor any fuel tank, fuel injection system, exhausts, etc. inside Tesla&#8217;s fully-electric models. The whole driving system is based on relatively small motors and thousands of battery cells placed underneath the vehicle.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/do-teslas-need-oil-change-tesla-maintenance-guide">Do Teslas Need Oil Change?</a>
To better understand how an engineless Tesla move, you need to know about an EV&#8217;s critical parts. The electric motor and the battery pack are two of the most significant systems on any <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/10-advantages-of-owning-an-electric-vehicle">electric car</a>. But manufacturers aren&#8217;t simply putting some batteries and motors together to create a vehicle. There is more to it than you could guess at first glance.
The inverter, DC/DC converter, on-board charger, battery management system (BMS), and thermal management system (including heat pump) are equally crucial for the electric vehicle to move. Tesla got rid of engines, exhaust, and fuel systems. Instead, they put in more efficient, lighter equipment that guarantees a much faster, cleaner ride. Here is a list of parts that a regular Tesla vehicle equipped with:
&#8211; Power/Traction Battery Pack
&#8211; AC/DC Electric Motor(s)
&#8211; Power Inverter
&#8211; Transmission (mostly a reduction gear, to be precise)
&#8211; OBC (On-board Charger) and Charge Port
&#8211; DC/DC Converter
&#8211; 12V Auxiliary Battery (mostly lead-acid batteries used)
&#8211; Battery Management System (BMS)
&#8211; Thermal Management System (including heat pumps)
&#8211; Power Electronics Controller
<h2>How Many Motors Do Teslas Have?</h2>

At first, Tesla vehicles used a single-motor drivetrain. The first dual-motor AWD Tesla <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ6lZJWL_Xk&amp;t=1s">unveiled in 2015</a>. After that Elon Musk&#8217;s company developed a tri-motor drivetrain powerful enough to set multiple acceleration records in 2021. Tesla Model S Plaid with tri-motor setup is still the fastest mass-production vehicle on the market.
Tesla Model S and Model X have both dual and tri motor drivetrains. The fully-electric Class 8 truck Tesla Semi is also powered by the same drive units with three electric motors. Rumors suggest that Tesla&#8217;s highly-anticipated electric pickup Cybertruck will also have three motors, instead of a quad-motor drivetrain originally promised. Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, on the other hand, offers both single-motor RWD and dual-motor all wheel drive options.

Do Teslas Have Engines? | A Guide to Understanding EVs

Land Rover

Land Rover introduced the updated Range Rover Velar. The company aims to bring new styles and technology for 2023 in fact. While it may be tough to detect the improvements exterior, the Velar&#8217;s inside has undergone a complete overhaul. The PHEV model has gained a larger battery and an increased range. The Range Rover Velar was unveiled in 2017 and redesigned two years later. This time around, improvements are more substantial in an effort to pique consumer interest in the stylish SUV.
Starting with the Velar&#8217;s appearance hasn&#8217;t aged well after six years. As a result, its designers focused only on minute details. The updated Pixel LED headlamp graphics, the new grille pattern modeled after the new Range Rover, the &#8220;super LED&#8221; taillights, and the slightly altered diffuser/skid plate on the rear bumper are a few of these changes. The new Metallic Varesine Blue and Premium Metallic Zadar Grey hues complete the expansion of the color pallet.
<h2>Land Rover Claims That 80% of Actions May be Completed on The Home Screen </h2>
The center console now features a more straightforward and contemporary look, replacing the twin touchscreen arrangement of the previous Velar. Interior improvements are far more extensive. The new 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen is the focal point and now incorporates all features, including temperature controls.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-32471 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-1024x569.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="417" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-300x167.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-768x427.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-1536x853.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-2048x1137.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Ekran-Resmi-2023-02-03-03.34.02-1568x871.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Therefore, other than the controls positioned on the steering wheel, the Velar has no physical controls of any type. Land Rover claims that 80% of actions may be completed on the home screen with just two touches. The Pivi Pro7&#8217;s infotainment, navigation, onboard diagnostics, chassis, and engine may all benefit from over-the-air improvements.
The Active Road Noise Cancellation function of the optional Meridian 3D Surround Sound System, which has 17 speakers, according to Land Rover, gives the Velar&#8217;s cabin the quietest interior in its category. The Cabin Air Purification Plus filtering system will further assure that the air is completely pure.

The plug-in hybrid Range Rover Velar P400e now boasts a new 19.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (up from 13.6 kWh). As a result, the EV range in the WLTP cycle has increased by 11 km/7 miles over its predecessor to 64 km/40 miles. Once connected to a 50 kW charger, the new battery is also capable of quick DC charging, moving from 0-80% in 30 minutes. A typical 7 kW AC charger needs 2.5 hours to complete a full charge.
The remaining engines are available in both gasoline and diesel, with the majority of them including 48-Volt mild-hybrid technology. All of them are solely linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. While Electronic Air Suspension is an option, Adaptive Dynamics (active suspension) is a standard feature on all six-cylinder and PHEV models.

In collaboration with Chile&#8217;s Highly Innovative Fuels, Porsche revealed that it has started producing synthetic e-fuels at a plant. The plant is located in the country&#8217;s southern region close to the Strait of Magellan. Synthetic e-fuel can be disseminated utilizing the current facilities. It can be also transported out from the port of Cabo Negro to any location in the world precisely like conventional fuels.
Porsche stated that every step of its value chain will have a carbon neutrality balance sheet by 2030. According to the firm, synthetic fuels are an addition to electromobility and a component of Porsche&#8217;s sustainability strategy. It has committed more than $100 million to the research and manufacture of e-fuels.
E-Fuel production is anticipated to be roughly 130,000 liters/34,342 gallons annually during the trial phase. The fuel will initially be utilized at Porsche Experience Centers and in lighthouse initiatives like the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The project in Chile will be initially scaled up to a predicted 55 million liters/14.53 million gallons annually. The potential is anticipated to be 550 million liters/145.3 million gallons approximately two years later.
<h2>What Exactly E-Fuel Means?</h2>
Fuels that are synthetic, or &#8220;carbon-neutral,&#8221; collect CO2 during production. In this method, this greenhouse gas is transformed into a raw material from which power from clean energy sources may be used to manufacture gasoline, diesel, and replacement natural gas. The ability to keep using the current network of filling stations is another significant benefit of combustion engines that run on synthetic fuels.
A report on e-fuels that was published by Transport &amp; Environment was everything but favorable. &#8220;Electrifying automobiles directly with batteries is by far the most effective zero emissions pathway out of all the technologies to decarbonize cars, including sustainable batteries, eco-friendly hydrogen, and renewable e-fuels&#8221;.
Driving an automobile powered by renewable electricity would demand nearly five times as much energy as driving a battery-powered vehicle. This study now demonstrates how BEVs significantly outperform e-fuel-powered petrol automobiles in terms of cost and life cycle emissions.
<h2>Chile Provides the best Circumstances for the Generation of E-Fuels</h2>

In fact, according to Porsche, the south of Chile provides the best circumstances for the generation of e-fuels. The underlying reason is that there is enough wind there to allow wind turbines to run continuously 270 days out of the year. While that may be the case, Chile also has a sizable number of communities. Particularly those for Indigenous people, that stand to gain just as much, if not more, from the use of inexpensive renewable energy as Porsche owners.

Porsche Starts E-Fuel Production in Chile

The idea of owning an electric car has become more and more popular with the increasing fuel prices. Electric vehicles, which provide the opportunity to travel at a much lower cost than an ordinary gasoline/diesel vehicle thanks to the possibility of charging at home, have now been accepted as an important alternative in many countries. In this article, we gathered around 10 reasons why you should get an electric car.
Electric cars are way more efficient than ICE vehicles, and ultimately cost less to drive. The maintenance is relatively cheaper than most gasoline/diesel cars on the market, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2022/10/06/by-the-numbers-what-it-costs-to-maintain-an-electric-vehicle/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20federal%20Office,a%20conventional%20ICE%2Dpowered%20ride.">official US data</a>. Because there are only a few moving parts that could wear over time. Thus, there is no need for regular oil and filter changes. Thanks to regenerative braking, brake discs and brake pads will also last longer. By owning an EV, you will not only reduce the cost of owning a vehicle but also enjoy high performance all-electric driving experience. 
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">1. Low Energy Cost</h3>
An electric vehicle owner only needs electricity as a fuel instead of gasoline and diesel. The fact that the kWh unit price of electricity is 13.73 cents, according to the March 2022 electricity tariff, shows that the fuel/energy costs of electric vehicles are much lower than gasoline/diesel cars.
An average electric vehicle consumes between 15 and 23 kWh of electricity per 62 miles/100 kilometers. In the case of charging at home, the cost will be in the range of 3.3-5.1 cents per mile/1.6 kilometers on average. Although ultra-fast EV charging stations are more expensive, it is possible to say that even in the case of DC fast charging, the cost will be around 35 cents per kWh, and it will still be much cheaper than the current fuel prices.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">2. More Efficient Engine</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-8407" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1024x506.webp" alt="" width="750" height="371" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1024x506.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-300x148.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-768x380.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1536x759.webp 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1568x775.webp 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live.webp 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Efficiency in ordinary gasoline and diesel engines varies between 20% and 40%. In other words, almost only 1/5 of the fuel can affect the movement of the vehicle. However, the efficiency rate rises above 90% in electric motors.
The highly efficient electric motors need several times less energy for the same exertion compared to the equivalent gasoline/diesel vehicles. Although the efficiency of the earlier EV models decreased significantly at higher speeds, this problem was mostly eliminated by the newly developed electric motors, inverters, and multi-speed electric vehicle transmissions.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">3. Cheaper Maintenance</h3>
Gasoline/diesel vehicles have hundreds of moving parts. In a typical electric car, the number of moving parts is no more than a few. For this reason, the routine maintenance cost of the electric vehicle is also very low.
There is no engine lubricant, oil filters, fuel strainers, timing belt, circulation pump, engine water, or similar elements that need to be changed on regular basis in electric vehicles.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">4. High Performance</h3>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ujp3q_aryRA" width="850" height="478" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Electric vehicles provide higher performance than gasoline and diesel-powered cars. Electric motors weighing less than a person can produce hundreds of Newton meters of torque as soon as the driver steps on the pedal, and reach 200+ horsepower figures much more easily.
The fastest mass-production car title today belongs to the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-s-plaid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Model S Plaid</a> in the favor of high-performance advantage of electric vehicles. Tesla&#8217;s luxury electric sedan can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.99 seconds, or from 0 to 100 km/h in exactly 2.1 seconds.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">5. Noiseless, Odorless, Vibration Free</h3>
Electric cars, which do not need an internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts to move, emit minimal vibration and don&#8217;t make noise while operating. Moreover, since they do not consume fossil fuels, such vehicles with zero emissions offer a much more comfortable driving experience than gasoline/diesel vehicles.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">6. Regenerative Braking</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-9821 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1024x479.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="351" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1024x479.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-300x140.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-768x359.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1536x719.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-2048x958.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1568x734.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Regenerative braking, which is first used in hybrid vehicles, and later in electric vehicles, means that the electric motor is used for braking by operating in reverse. There are two important advantages of this feature. Firstly; with regenerative braking, the energy that is normally lost by turning into heat is converted into electrical energy by the reverse operation of the electric motor, and as a result battery can be charged. Latter; prolonging the service life of brake discs and brake pads utilizing regenerative braking. EVs need less traditional braking, thanks to this feature.
Elon Musk claimed that by dint of regenerative braking, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=tesla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> vehicles will not need brake disc and pad replacement throughout their lifetime with a healthy driving habit, a message he shared on his Twitter account in 2018.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">7. Safer Drive</h3>
There are no flammable fossil fuels in the electric vehicle and there is no engine that moves by detonating this fuel. Instead, the electric vehicle, which has a more stable electric motor and a battery pack placed on the vehicle floor, is safer in terms of the risk of ignition.
A <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.autoinsuranceez.com/gas-vs-electric-car-fires/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> conducted in the USA reveals that the risk of fire is 0.025% for every 100,000 electric vehicles sold. According to the same research, this rate is 1.5% in gasoline/diesel vehicles while the risk of fire is much higher at 3.4% in hybrid vehicles.
Another factor that makes electric vehicles safe is the shift of the center of gravity towards the lower and middle parts of the vehicle by the dint of the battery pack placed on the floor and the absence of a heavy engine at the front. In this way, the driving safety is increased and the electric vehicle provides better road handling.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">8. Longer Lasting</h3>
The number of moving parts in an electric vehicle is quite low as mentioned in the third advantage. Moreover, electric cars operate at much lower temperatures unlike gasoline/diesel vehicles, whose operating temperature reaches up to 220 Celcius degrees. Thus, mechanical wear is minimized.
Electric vehicles, which do not have any parts other than the gearbox that need to be lubricated, have very few parts that wear out over time and affect the lifetime of the vehicle. The <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-long-electric-car-battery-last-battery-replacement-cost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">electric vehicle battery</a> can also store the energy to run a vehicle at a reasonable capacity (at least 70%) for at least 10 years, in some cases up to 20 years. It will be possible to use electric vehicles for several million kilometers with the prolongation of the battery life through the developments in lithium-ion battery technologies.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">9. Smarter Vehicles</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7635 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq.jpg 1120w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The &#8216;smart car&#8217; trend, pioneered by China is a sign that electric vehicles are not just about using a different powertrain and energy source. In-vehicle systems, in which names such as Tesla, Huawei, and Google invest millions of dollars every year are also the priority of the Turkish automobile manufacturer Togg. In this context, it is aimed to create virtual driver IDs known as Togg ID, and to perform many transactions with this digital ID system.
According to analysts, who predict that cars will get smarter with the transformation of electric vehicles, with the spread of autonomous driving in the near future. Vehicle owners will complete their work, shop, play games, spend time on social media, or watch TV series/movies while traveling in the vehicle instead of holding the steering wheel, shifting gears, or pedaling. In order to realize these scenarios, both autonomous driving technologies and advanced in-vehicle entertainment/infotainment systems are being developed.
An electric vehicle owner should expect not only instant torque performance and low fuel costs but also a full in-car digital experience from his car. The fact that names such as Ford, Renault, and Volvo will include Google&#8217;s Android Auto operating system in all their new vehicles is one of the most remarkable developments in terms of smart car transformation. It seems certain that we will witness similar developments more often as the expectations of potential automobile customers increase.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">10. Greener, Environmentally-Friendly</h3>
Passenger vehicles, which cause 8.7% of global carbon dioxide emissions*, are among the sectors that need electrification transformation the most. the environmental impact of automobiles will be significantly reduced via the transition to zero-emission electric vehicles.
The positive impact of electric vehicles on the environment is not limited to emissions. This type of automobile, which does not have a waste oil problem because it does not need an oil change, will reduce water pollution, and also reduce city noise and air pollution.

Why Should I Get an Electric Car? | 10 Advantages of Owning an EV

Maersk is the largest ocean shipping company in the world. Maersk does not just unload the containers to the parts and sail away, it also distributes the shipments to the freight terminals nearby or around the country. The Danish company has partnered with the Swedish startup Einride and added 300 electric trucks to its distribution fleet.
Today, diesel-powered Class 8 heavy trucks are used to carry the unloaded containers to their destination. While the diesel engine is one of the crucial elements of the shipping industry, it also pollutes heavily the air in and around seaports. The air along the highways between the ports of LA and Long Beach and freight terminals is filled with crud and almost unbreathable because of the exhaust pipes of the diesel trucks.
Einride is a Swedish startup founded in 2016 and developing electric vehicles that can ply between freight terminals. It has signed a 5-year partnership agreement with Maersk for 300 electrical Class 8 trucks. The battery-powered vehicles will be delivered between 2023 and 2025. They will be used by Maersk’s Performance Team, the North American warehousing, distribution, and transportation business of the company.
<h2>Road to Decarbonization</h2>

Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc pointed out that this is an important step towards the decarbonization of the distribution process. He also stated that Maersk has a comprehensive decarbonization plan for its Ocean activities, constituting 93% of all company-related emissions. The long-term goal of the Danish company in North America is to transform its fleet into a fully electric one to offer an environment-friendly alternative for short hauling.
The first trucks of the Maersk-Einride partnership will be the Class 8 8TT Gen 3 tractors made by BYD at its production plant in Southern California. Maersk will buy trucks with Einride technology manufactured by other brands. With this, Einride’s digital road freight operating system will be first and largely used in these trucks. The system of the Swedish company centralizes the decision-making and makes freight distribution more efficient.
In the last years, Maersk has increased its transportation solutions and offers not only its maritime customers. In 2021, the company brought in many entities, including the logistics provider Performance Team and its 58 US facilities last April and recently the Pilot Freight and technology provider Visible SCM.
The new electric trucks of Maersk will be on the roads of selected US cities. With the 5-year contract with Einride, Maersk will complete up to 1 million delivery events using zero-emissions trucks.   Einride’s Saga will also provide 150 charging stations and connectivity systems to the Danish freight company.

Maersk & Einride Partner to Introduce Class 8 Electric Trucks to the US

Diesel car sales have been declining in Europe since the Dieselgate scandal in 2015. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ft.com/content/f1bdf1cf-8fc3-4b85-a4eb-7df716ebf0a9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Financial Times</a>, sales of electric vehicles in the Old Continent overtook diesel cars for the first time last year. Chip shortage and other supply-chain problems affected legacy car makers&#8217; deliveries last year. But EV makers such as <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/tesla-produces-more-than-90-model-ys-per-hour-in-china/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> didn&#8217;t suffer much from these issues.
European countries encourage pure electric vehicle sales by offering generous subsidies and implementing strict regulations that force automakers to sell more low-emission/or zero-emission vehicles.
Analysts estimated that the global EV sales to exceed 4 million in 2021. Western Europe is the second-biggest EV market after China. And December 2021 is the month that EV sales officially overtook diesel cars, according to the data gathered from 18 European markets.
That is a historical milestone for the European automotive industry, as diesel cars were the most popular powertrain option a few years back. Electrification has been rising steadily, and automakers keep increasing their EV development budget every month! European companies will eventually stop their combustion-engine vehicle R&amp;D in the next few years. 
<h2>Volkswagen sold the most electric vehicles in Europe</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6603 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-1024x580.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="425" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-768x435.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-1536x870.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-2048x1160.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/volkswagen-id.5-gtx-energy-consumption-21-1-1568x888.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Electric vehicle sales figures of every Volkswagen Group brands:
<ul>
<li>Volkswagen: 263,200</li>
<li>Audi: 81,900</li>
<li>Skoda: 49,100</li>
<li>Porsche: 41,300 (Taycan+Taycan Cross Turismo)</li>
<li>Seat: 13,000</li>
<li>TOTAL: 452,900</li>
</ul>
Volkswagen Group brands sold more than 450K electric vehicles last year, which makes the German automaker the second-biggest EV producer in the world after Tesla (936,172). But VW is still the leading electric vehicle manufacturer in Europe, with more than 310,000 cars sold in 2021. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-e-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Volkswagen e-Up</a> and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-4-pro-s-awd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ID.4</a> are the most popular models offered by the VW.
