Changan

Changan Auto is one of the largest automakers in China. Recently, it has developed a new vehicle platform called EPA1, which supports all kinds of powertrain options from hydrogen fuel-cell applications to battery electric systems. After some teasing and concept revealing, the first vehicle built on top of this next-gen vehicle platform is finally available and it&#8217;s called Deep Blue SL03. 
SL03 is the debut model for Changan Auto&#8217;s new sub-brand Deep Blue (Shenlan; 深蓝). The electric sedan, also known as Shenlan SL03 has a distinctive look, especially on the front side of its exterior. Frameless doors, uniquely designed headlights, 1.3 meters-long panoramic sunroof, an infotainment screen that can rotate vertically, and a highly functional head-up display are some of its features worth mentioning. 
Changan Deep Blue SL03 is being offered in three different powertrain options; battery-electric, hydrogen-electric, and plug-in hybrid. We provide you with the BEV version&#8217;s standard specs. It comes with a 258-HP rear-wheel-drive electric motor, 58.1-kWh battery pack, and offers 515 kilometers of range. 
There is also a less powerful and yet more energy-dense version available with a 79-kWh battery pack. The long-range version can travel up to 705 km, according to <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/ev-range-tests-explained-comparison-between-epa-ratings-wltp-nedc-and-cltc">CLTC</a> test cycle.

Furthermore, the interior of the Deep Blue SL03 looks similiar to Tesla&#8217;s Model 3 and Model Y. There is no physical button on the front. You can easily access all controls through the large touchscreen, which is powered by Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon 8155 chipset. The infotainment system&#8217;s interface runs smooth, thanks to its decent chip and the operating system developed by <a href="https://megatronix.cn/">Megatronix</a> called SmartMega OS+. 
You can compare Deep Blue SL03 with other Chinese electric sedans such as <a href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01">Leapmotor C01</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-aion-s-plus-80">AION S Plus</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-seal">BYD Seal</a>, etc.

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.

#NamX is the hydrogen car initiative founded by Moroccan businessman Fevzi Annajah. The company announced that it will test the concept car introduced last year.
The company will implement the first working prototype in the last quarter of 2024. It will establish 4,000 hydrogen capsule replacement points in Europe for its hydrogen-powered car. It was designed by Pininfarina and named NamX HUV.
Powered by an eight-cylinder internal combustion engine from the French company Solution F, NamX HUV made its mark on social media with its 5-kilogram hydrogen tank and replaceable capsules that can store half a kilo of gaseous hydrogen.
This system, in which hydrogen is consumed by burning it directly, unlike fuel cell vehicles, exhibits a performance similar to fossil fuel vehicles in terms of efficiency. It should be noted that NOx emissions also occur in addition to water vapor.
Not enough information about NamX HUV&#8217;s patented hydrogen capsule technology and production plan has been shared. However, if the test drive target in the last quarter of 2024 is achieved, it is predicted that it may encounter a serious pre-order demand.

Is The Hydrogen Powered V8 Engine Car Real?

Hyundai

⚡Hyundai continues to invest in hydrogen production and continues to develop hydrogen fuel cell cars. The company announced that its new passenger vehicle will be launched in 2025.
🚗The current Hyundai Nexo promises a range of 611 kilometers with 6.3 kg of hydrogen. Due to the high price of 62,000 USD, the lack of opening of enough hydrogen fuelling stations, the closure of some of the opened ones, and the immaturity of the distribution network, the annual sales volume decreased to 5 thousand in 2023.
🟢Hyundai emphasized at the press conference held within the scope of CES 2024 that they are investing in a hydrogen future and that they believe in a concept where hydrogen is used in all areas of life, from automobiles to buses, trucks, and even air transportation. They announced that they are also turning to production by establishing a facility in Indonesia where they obtain hydrogen from biogas.
🔋Hydrogen SUV Hyundai Nexo has been sold in South Korea, England, and the US state of California since 2018 and company has announced the hydrogen SUV will be renewed.

Hyundai to Introduce its New Hydrogen Vehicle in 2025!

Hiroki Nakajima, the Chief Technology Officer of Toyota, has acknowledged the failure of the hydrogen fuel cell car and announced that the production of these vehicles will be abandoned for the time being.
Speaking to Autocar at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2023, the Toyota CTO attributed the failure to establish a network of hydrogen refueling stations to its challenging nature. Therefore, they will focus on hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles instead of passenger cars.

Porsche

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>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30999 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-1024x589.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="431" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-300x173.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-768x442.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-1536x884.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-2048x1179.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ekran-Resmi-2022-12-24-16.13.26-1568x903.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
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

Honda

Honda has lagged behind its Japanese counterparts in the auto sector when it concerns all-electric cars. The carmaker overemphasized hybrids and hydrogen fuel cells, which left North America with almost no all-electric vehicles to choose from.
Honda hasn&#8217;t produced an all-electric vehicle in the US since Clarity Electric&#8217;s manufacturing was halted in 2019. Honda has been touting the Prologue, an EV it co-developed with GM, for years.
The Prologue, well-posed above the CR-V and next to the Passport. It offers plenty of passenger and luggage capacity, will, according to Honda, complement its array of light trucks.
The redesigned 2023 Honda CR-V is around 8 inches/203 mm longer and 5 inches/127 mm wider than the electric SUV, which has a wheelbase of 121.8 inches/3,093 mm, the same as the Cadillac Lyriq and Chevrolet Blazer EV.
<h2>Dazzling Appearance: &#8220;Neo-Rugged&#8221;</h2>
The Honda speaks frequently about its appearance, which it calls &#8220;Neo-Rugged&#8221; with a clear and uncomplicated surface.
Highlights include the huge 21-inch wheels, the panoramic roof, the sleek horizontal taillights joined by a trim piece incorporating Honda branding in a stylized style, and the front fascia which draws inspiration from the unique design of the Honda e-urban EV.
The Honda Prologue will have a competent and stable exterior attributable to all of these.

<h2>2 Million EVs Globally by the Year 2030</h2>
Honda has not yet discussed engine options. But it has been confirmed that all-wheel drive will be an option for the Prologue. Expect it to use one of the dual-motor configurations used on the Chevrolet Blazer EV, albeit maybe not the SS&#8217;s 557-hp engine, which has the longest range. Similar to the Blazer EV, the entry-level option should be a single-motor FWD powertrain with 250 miles/402 kilometers range.
The Japanese manufacturer estimates selling 2 million units of 30 new EVs globally by the year 2030. The Prologue will mark the start of the growth in North America in 2024, and models built on Honda&#8217;s own e:Architecture will follow in 2026 and 2027, respectively.

Remarkable Solutions for EVs are Revealed by Bosch at the Detroit Auto Show

Rising Auto

Prospective buyers of this type of vehicle have great expectations. That may not be perfectly compatible with today&#8217;s modern rechargeable batteries and charging technology at the preferred price point.
Numerous concept vehicles released earlier this year demonstrated that the traditionally conservative RV market is really not perched this one out. Most of the other big players presented a perspective sketch of what&#8217;s in the works in very different forms between the Winnebago e-RV concept and the Thor Vision electric RV concept.
Ford Transit-based Winnebago e-RV has an 86-kWh battery pack and a 125 mile/200 km range enough to satisfy 54% of RV buyers. Thor Industries went in a totally different way. It also included a battery system, a hydrogen fuel cell, and a power generation roof, for a total range of 300 miles/480 km.
Thor recently revealed study results that supported its approach. It conducted its North American Motorized Electric RV study in December 2021. The survey included almost 700 people who had either owned an EV or had some level of RV experience within the previous ten years.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-10934 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/thors-north-american-motorized-electric-rv-study_100841396_h-1024x541.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="396" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/thors-north-american-motorized-electric-rv-study_100841396_h-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/thors-north-american-motorized-electric-rv-study_100841396_h-300x158.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/thors-north-american-motorized-electric-rv-study_100841396_h-768x406.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/thors-north-american-motorized-electric-rv-study_100841396_h.jpg 1174w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Thor&#8217;s North American Motorized Electric RV study
According to research, 97 percent of drivers plan to drive for 3 hours or more prior to actually charging. Roughly half (45%) of survey participants expected to further drive 5 or 6 hours from home before needing to charge. A figure Thor considers to be a perfect balance and approximately steady with a 300 miles/480 km charge.
Almost 1/5 thought that point was 8 or more hours on a charge, implying a range of more than 500 miles/800 km. Despite 300 miles/480 km may be a reasonable goal in a few years. But the greater figure is likely to be a practical impossibility due to constraints.
<h2>Thor Airstream vs Colorado Teardrops</h2>
Along with the electric RV project, Thor unveiled the eStream travel trailer concept earlier this year. An electric camping trailer that would mainly help in providing its own propulsion. It has the capacity to carry 80 kWh of battery capacity. It also adds a rate of change and brake regen that has its own motor system.

Likewise, Colorado Teardrops intends to release a version of its camper trailer that includes extra battery packs but not the propulsion system. You charge both overnight, and at rest stops, it charges your towing EV instead.
