Sony AFEELA Prototype

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes EQA is a mid-range electric SUV, unveiled in 2021 and launched on the market in a few weeks. It is based on gas-powered SUV Mercedes GLA, same chassis, same sizes and almost the same exterior &amp; interior design. German carmaker only took the internal combustion engine out and replaced it with electric motors and battery system.
EQA has both AWD and FWD options. Dual motor EQA 4MATIC can produce 292 HP and 520 Nm torque. It takes 6.0 seconds to get from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) with the fastest version. All versions provide 60 kWh battery capacity. EQA can travel up to 432 kilometers when fully charged. Compact electric SUV works with 100 kW DC plugs, charging from 10% to 80% is around 30 minutes.
Mercedes-Benz has been producing the EQA both in Germany and China. It is the cheapest electric Mercedes on market. Pricing starts at €47,541 for the front-wheel-drive EQA 250, €53,538 for the EQA 300 4MATIC, and €56,215 for the EQA 350 4MATIC.
<h2>Performance</h2>
Mercedes EQA offered in three forms: the base model front-wheel-drive EQA 250, and AWD dual motor version EQA 300 4MATIC and EQA 350 4MATIC. The base version EQA has 190 HP, 375 Nm torque, 0-100 km/h performance around nine seconds.
All-wheel-drive EQA 300 4MATIC can produce 228 horsepower and 390 Nm torque, whereas the most advanced variant of range EQA 350 4MATIC has 292 horsepower, 520 Nm torque. Acceleration figures from 0 to 100 km/h are 7.7 seconds and 6.0 seconds respectively.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Mercedes basically used everything they can from the GLA when making the EQA, interior and exterior designs are very similar. There are only a couple of distinctive differences, such as EQC-style headlights, full length taillights shaped like a lightbar, and the aero-efficient front grille along with the new wheels that helps reduce drag and increase range.
German car manufacturer put the battery pack on top of the existing chassis of the GLA and that raises the floor quite a bit. This can cause passengers to feel uncomfortable, but at least the cabin height is decent enough to give occupants more room up high. Volvo XC40 Recharge did a better job at preserving the comfort of the back seat while transforming an existing vehicle to electric.
There are tons of EQ badges all around the interior, Mercedes constantly reminds you that EQA is an electric SUV. Design and materials all look and feel premium, as they should. Two 10.25-inch displays create a digital cockpit around the driver. Mercedes’s MBUX user interface still lags on some occasions, but you can always use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for more functionality.
There is no trunk capacity on the front as you would expect. Because of the electric motor sitting on the rear axle, regular truck capacity is not very good either. Compact SUV provides great comfort to its driver and passenger, but back seats are not that comfortable and cargo space is very limited. EQA is the direct rival of the Tesla Model Y. Unfortunately, it not only lacks the range and speed, but also has less space and offers less practicality than the Tesla SUV.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Both FWD and AWD EQAs all have the same 66.5 kWh battery pack. EQA 250 and EQA 300 4MATIC offer 426 kilometers of range. EQA 350 has slightly better range estimates around 432 km.
Mercedes EQA supports 100 kW DC charging; it can get from 10 percent charge to 80 percent in 30 minutes. It takes less than 6 hours to fully charge the vehicle when plugged into the wallbox or an AC charger.

🔋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, 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.

Continuing its development of the &#8220;digital chassis,&#8221; Chinese automaker Geely showcased what its platform, equipped with steer-by-wire technology, is capable of in this video.
The digital chassis, capable of detecting the vehicle and road conditions within milliseconds and providing steering instructions, is developed not for autonomous drifting but rather to ensure safer driving.
GEELY aims to utilize the AI-powered platform to enable the vehicle to stay on the road under various conditions and activate active driving safety features swiftly during sudden maneuver situations.

The Sony-Honda partnership, which will directly target major auto markets with AFEELA, plans to start taking pre-orders in the first half of 2025. The first deliveries should start in 2026 in the US, while orders most probably end by the end of 2025.
Sony&#8217;s first electric car is an example of the struggle to rival Tesla with its software features and autonomous driving capabilities. With its experience in the entertainment industry and the sensor market, the Japanese technology giant is perfect for this job.
