Honda

<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=honda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Honda</a> lacks behind its competitors when it comes to the electrification of its vehicles. The only pure electric model Japanese firm offers as of today is the supermini <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/honda-e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Honda e</a>. This is very problematic for the Japanese automaker, because of the carbon emission regulations that keep getting severe in Europe and China. But they have a quick solution to this: Honda e:NS1, the electrified version of the latest Honda H-RV. 
Honda e:NS1 is a conversion project managed by Dongfeng Honda, Japanese firm&#8217;s joint-venture in China. Instead of developing an EV-dedicated vehicle platform and building an efficient electric car, Honda simply swapped the petrol engine for a smaller, lighter electric motor, and attached a battery pack (supplied by CATL) underneath the existing chassis of the 2022 Honda H-RV. This is probably the most sloppy electric conversion job we have ever encountered. But it works like a charm for the Japanese carmaker.
<h3>Honda e:NS1&#8217;s Unique Features</h3>

e:NS1 is based on Honda&#8217;s e:N OS operating system that powers the large 15.1-inch vertically-oriented infotainment display inside the car. Rear-view mirror and gauge cluster are also LCD displays, to enable a much smoother riding experience. Compact EV offers some app control features as well, such as mobile key app, virtual key share, Find My Car, etc. 
There is a face-recognition system inside the cockpit of the Honda e:NS1, increasing the overall security of the vehicle. 
Honda&#8217;s first electric SUV is capable of offering V2L, which is very practical when it comes to powering house appliances and mobile devices. V2L feature is optional though. There is also a pre-conditioning feature for the battery that speed-up the charging process beforehand.

SERES

<h2>Overview</h2>
Seres 3 is a budget-friendly electric SUV manufactured in China by the Chinese automaker DFSK (Dongfeng Sokon Automobile). It can produce 161 HP with its single electric motor sitting in the front. Seres 3 can go 405 kilometers when fully charged and it is in the €35,000 price range.
Battery electric SUV Seres 3 is available in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and Turkey right now. The firm has been planning to expand its market to other European countries in the near future.
In China, Seres 3 sold as Fengon E3 and there is a combustion engine version of the vehicle, as well. Starting price is 139,800 yuan (~$21,500).
<h2>Performance</h2>
Front-wheel drive Seres 3’s acceleration is very average, 0-100 km/h in 8.9 sec. Electric motor produces 161 HP and 300 Nm of torque, top speed is 160 km per hour.
The vehicle platform originally designed for combustion engine cars. That being said, Seres 3 could more of a BMW iX3 style EV other than a purely electric car like the Teslas. So, its driving experience is also not much different than its Chinese counterpart with petrol engine.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Seres 3’s central console is very similar to Mercedes EQA, air vents and infotainment screen look like they belong to a German car. And also, blue stitches around the edges of the synthetic leather constantly reminding that this is a fully electric vehicle.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto doesn’t support by the Seres’s own infotainment system, but at least you can mirror your smartphone’s screen to the center display.
Mid-size crossover has 360-degree view mode, thanks to the cameras all around the car. These cameras are also capable of recording driving sessions, in case of an accident etc.
The floor of the electric SUV is flat, but the rear seats are pretty low, and that’s not the most comfortable sitting arrangement for the passengers.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
According to NEDC standard, Seres 3 can travel 405 km with a fully charged battery while more realistic WLTP standard gave this car 300 kilometers of range. 52.5 kWh battery can be charged with DC plugs at up to 100 kW charging speeds. On-board 6.6 kW AC charging will full load the battery in 8 hours.

#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.

🔋 e:NS2 will be one of the largest SUVs in its segment with its 68.8 kWh battery, 150 kW engine, and 4,788 mm long body. It was the first vehicle developed by the Japanese manufacturer on the e:N Architecture F platform with its Chinese partner Dongfeng.
💰The electric Honda&#8217;s price and release date are not yet known. It will probably go on sale in Europe under the name e:Ny2. Since they originate from China, neither e:Ny1 nor e:NS2 is expected to be imported to Turkey due to authorized service regulations.
