Hyundai

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the Korean carmaker’s first ever fully dedicated battery electric car. It is built on a unique platform, e-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) developed by Hyundai and Kia together.
Compared to <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-3-performance/">Tesla Model 3</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/polestar-2-long-range-dual-motor/">Polestar 2</a>, Ioniq 5 looks like a boxy hatchback, Hyundai calls it a crossover. Fastest Ioniq 5 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. It has a moveable center console on the inside, safety features like blindspot indicator, lane keeping, and remote parking capabilities.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Performance</h2>
Ioniq 5 has two battery pack options, Standard Range version offers 58 kWh capacity, whereas Long Range models will be equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery. Hyundai also offers two drivetrains for both of these battery options. RWD has a single electric motor and up to 217 horsepower. Those who wants to get more power will choose the AWD option for dual motors and up to 306 HP. It can tow a caravan up to 1,600 kilos of weight.
The stalk behind the steering wheel allows driver to easily change gear, put the vehicle on parking mode etc. Ioniq 5’s smooth driving experience will improve with very clever blindspot indicator feature. Whenever you put an indicator on, cameras from the each side of the vehicle will show you the blindspots, making Ioniq 5 much more safer to drive. There’s also a head-up display (HUD) that includes the vehicle’s speed, navigation etc.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Design and Features</h2>
In terms of appearance, Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like a hatchback, but it’s actually a crossover, or an all-electric CUV. When Hyundai designed the new Ioniq 5, they took a lot of inspiration from the first vehicle they actually manufactured. It is the Hyundai Pony from the 1980s. It has got a very interest retro design, standing out from the crowd with its boxy shape. The headlights and taillights which use square shaped LEDs are also retro styled.
In profile, Ioniq 5 has an enormous wheelbase of over three meters, longer than a Range Rover Sport, which give this electric Hyundai plenty of space inside.
On the front of the vehicle, there is a little frunk, enough for a few grocery bags or a backpack, not even close to the capacity Teslas and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-gt/">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> offer.
The interior of the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 is as unique as its exterior design. Modular design allows Hyundai to equip its new vehicle with two 12 inch displays, one for the full-touch infotainment system, and the other acting as a digital gauge cluster. Thanks to its long wheelbase and flat floor, Ioniq 5’s center console can slide back almost 15 centimeters, creating a spacious car experience for the driver and passengers.
The Ioniq 5 got five USB ports, a 220V outlet for any tools and gadgets you want to power, a glove draw instead of a traditional glovebox, seats that can be almost fully recline, Bose sound system etc.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Range and Charging</h2>
Ioniq 5 has the fastest charging technology in its segment. There are two charging systems, 400 volt and 800 volt electrical arcitectures available for the Ioniq 5. With the highest setup, all-electric CUV can be charged with 350 kW DC plugs, from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 18 minutes.
There is also the V2L (Vehicle to Load) feature that turn Ioniq 5 into a power source for your electronic devices, and simple tools that can be powered via a simple outlet. It allows a charging speed up to 3.6 kW. It is even possible to charge another electric vehicle with Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Tesla

When Tesla first announced back in 2019 that they would produce an all-electric pickup truck starting from $39,900, people rushed to the automaker&#8217;s website and put their names on the waiting list. But at the end of 2021, Tesla removed any info regarding Cybertruck&#8217;s price and specifications from the pre-order page. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All 1.7 million Cybertruck reservation holders</a> wonder: will Tesla honor its original Cybertruck price list?
After almost three and a half years, Tesla&#8217;s original price list for Cybertruck is not relevant today, because of inflation, material prices, chip shortage, etc. There&#8217;s a high chance that Tesla will not honor the Cybertruck prices. But this special all-electric pickup truck is designed in a way that it won&#8217;t be needing any paint or expensive aluminum parts. Instead, Tesla will use a paintless stainless steel exoskeleton body to reduce manufacturing costs. Lithium-ion batteries are also a lot cheaper than what they would cost in 2019. So, it&#8217;s definitely possible for Tesla to produce and sell Cybertrucks at the original price points.
<h2>Cheaper FSD for Cybertruck Reservation Holders!</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-36677" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1024x567.webp" alt="" width="750" height="415" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1024x567.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-300x166.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-768x425.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1536x850.webp 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-2048x1133.webp 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1568x867.webp 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Truth be told, Tesla is not obligated to honor the Cybertruck price list that was announced at the unveiling event and put online for two years. It&#8217;s, however, officially confirmed that FSD pricing is fixed for the Cybertruck reservation holders, which is half of what the FSD package costs today ($15,000). Even if Cybertruck gets a price bump, there&#8217;s a $7,500 cost advantage for the customers who chose FSD while ordering their pickup truck.

Will Tesla Honor Cybertruck Price? | FSD Price Advantage

It&#8217;s been more than three and a half years since Tesla unveiled Cybertruck. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1.7 million people pre-ordered</a> this radically designed all-electric pickup. But the launch day is nowhere near to being announced. There have been some rumors regarding Tesla canceling the Cybertruck project. Even a highly popular YouTuber made a video with the title of &#8216;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B9mfn5NCcw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Just Cancelled the Cybertruck</a>&#8216;. Is it true that Tesla canceled this highly anticipated project? Let&#8217;s do some fact-checking!
Tesla didn&#8217;t cancel or even consider canceling the Cybertruck. In fact, Elon Musk officially confirmed on multiple occasions that the electric pickup truck will go on sale in 2023. Although the Cybertruck is a very hard vehicle to put into mass production as its unique cold metal exoskeleton structure, Tesla is eager to start producing its first pickup truck. It&#8217;ll most likely be the most popular vehicle launched in 2023.

Tesla originally aimed to start Cybertruck production in 2021. The never-ending delays and Elon Musk&#8217;s &#8220;difficult to build&#8221; prompts regarding the Cybertruck convinced lots of people that the Cybertruck is really dead. Truth be told, it&#8217;s too hard to engineer and design a vehicle like that. But Tesla is publicly saying that design-wise, Cybertruck development is finalized. Tesla fans have been posting new Cybertruck prototype photos and videos almost every day since the beginning of this year. After a long wait, the Cybertruck is definitely coming out soon!

Is The Cybertruck Canceled?

IM Motors, a direct competitor to Tesla, is a high-end electric vehicle brand founded in 2020 and unveiled its first vehicles in early 2021. Its name is an abbreviation of the &#8220;Intelligence in Motion&#8221;, which clearly indicated that IM Motors is a smart vehicle-focused automaker. 
A total of $1.4 billion (10 billion RMB) initial investment was made by IM Motors&#8217; shareholders as a founding capital. Chinese EV maker&#8217;s first vehicle concepts &#8216;AIRO&#8217; and LS7 are designed by English designer Thomas Heatherwick and showcased at Auto Shanghai in 2021. In 2022, IM Motors only sold around 5,000 EVs. It&#8217;s expected to sell more than 45,000 in 2023, thanks to the highly-popular electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/im-ls7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IM Motors LS7</a>. A more affordable IM Motors LS5 is also on its way.
<h2>Who Owns IM Motors?</h2>
IM Motors is a joint venture between Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, the automaker SAIC Motor, and a Shanghai-based industrial and technology park called Zhangjiang High-Tech. SAIC Motor owns the majority (54%) of this joint venture. Alibaba and Zhangjiang High-Tech hold an 18 percent stake each. IM Motors&#8217;s main purpose is to design and manufacture fully electric high-end vehicles. The brand&#8217;s first cars are being produced at SAIC Motor&#8217;s Lingang plant in Shanghai, China, where SAIC made a handful of investments in 2021 to manufacture all-electric models.

BYD Dolphin’s European Price List Announced

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.

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

Volvo

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

Renault and Polestar will produce electric vehicles in South Korea to avoid customs duty.
Polestar, which separated from Volvo and turned into an independent EV brand, pays 2.5%+25% customs duty when importing its vehicles produced in China to the USA. In order to get rid of this tax, the company signed a cooperation agreement with Renault.
Geely bought a 34% stake in Renault&#8217;s operations in South Korea with an investment of approximately $ 190 million last year. Under this partnership, the Polestar 4 model will be produced at Renault&#8217;s South Korean plant in 2025. Geely also owns Polestar.

The factory in Busan, previously known as Renault Samsung Motors, has an annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles. The cooperation will also allow Polestar to get rid of the tax burden brought by Chinese production. The cooperation will also increase the rapprochement of the Geely-Renault partnership.
The Polestar 4 offers 544 horsepower with dual engines, a 94 kWh battery, 560 km range, and 200 kW DC charging speed. The vehicle will be launched first in China in December and then in the US with customs duty. The starting price of 60 thousand dollars is expected to fall below 50 thousand dollars in 2025.

Renault And Polestar To Produce Electric Cars Together

Solid state cells produced by StoreDot will provide a range of 160 km with a five-minute charge, and begin testing with Polestar 5 in 2024. Mass production vehicles will be on the roads in 2027.
The solid-state battery, which promises great promise due to its double energy density, high-speed charging, and safety, has lost its advantage in charging speed and safety with the new generation lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Chinese battery giant CATL promises much better charging performance with its new generation non-solid-state LFP cathode ShenXing battery. Many mass-production vehicles that will reach 350 kW and beyond charging speeds and achieve a range of 400 kilometers in 10 minutes will be on sale in 2024.

The fact that the first solid-state batteries to be launched will provide a DC charging speed of around 350 kW questions the impact of this technology on the electric vehicle sector.
A very small portion of the total global battery investment of $860 billion is allocated to solid-state battery technology as of the end of 2022. (Atlas Public Policy)
Cooperating with Japanese Idemitsu Kosan for solid-state electrolyte production, Toyota announced that it has not yet developed a material suitable for mass production. The company is expected to start using the solid-state battery in low-volume electric vehicle projects in 2028.

What Is Happening In The Solid State Battery That Will Change The Electric Vehicle Industry?

Efficiency is key to designing a successful electric vehicle. And Tesla is acing it! Model Y and Model 3 are two of the most efficient vehicles on the market. It&#8217;s all thanks to Tesla&#8217;s advanced manufacturing technologies such as large die-casting machines used for the production of the chassis. To better understand Tesla&#8217;s weight advantage, we created a curb and gross weight information list for Tesla Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Tesla Semi.
Tesla Model 3 is the most lightweight Tesla model available today. The RWD version of the electric sedan only weighs 3,880 lbs. In comparison, similarly sized Polestar 2&#8217;s curb weight is 4,680 lbs, way more than Tesla&#8217;s sedan.
Let&#8217;s take a look at the highly-popular Tesla Model Y. United States&#8217; best-selling electric SUV weighs only 4,381 lbs. Ford&#8217;s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-rwd-standard-range">Mustang Mach-E</a> is not even close. Its lightest version weighs around 4,498 lbs.

18 Most Efficient Electric Cars, According to EPA | 2023 Ranking

Jaguar

Thierry Bolloré, the newly appointed head of Jaguar Land Rover. He has declared that starting in 2025, Jaguar will only produce electric vehicles.
Bolloré stated that JLR would leave the production of SUVs to the Land Rover brand starting in 2025. And that Jaguar would solely produce all-electric vehicles after that point.
It has been announced that Jaguar will utilize a distinct platform design, having left Land Rover to use the upcoming MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform for reconfigurable electronically controlled gasoline-powered vehicles and the EMA (Electric Modular Architecture).
This implies that the MLA platform-based upcoming Jaguar XJ saloon, which was supposed to debut in the year and go on the market in 2022, has already been dropped from the market. Bolloré declared, &#8220;XJ doesn&#8217;t really match with our prior to the transition.&#8221; &#8220;It was a difficult decision, even though it was a big decision,&#8221;
According to Bolloré, &#8220;We want the best of the best for the Jaguar platform. The determination with an all system would reflect on the design concept for the automobiles.
&#8220;We completely unrestricted the designers to create the most striking looks. Significant importance is placed on proportion, which will determine the platform.

<h2 class="polaris__heading">Seemingly Small EV Jaguar</h2>
When Bolloré joined Jaguar Land Rover, one of the ideas on the board was to create a new, tiny electric Jaguar SUV. The aim is to compete with the latest Polestar 2 and Tesla&#8217;s Model 3 and Model Y.
A compact Jaguar would indeed be fantastic; we really have to think about it though, said JLR&#8217;s director of engineering, Nick Rogers. The idea for compact, electrical Jaguars has already received backing from the top management.
Future Jaguars will undoubtedly pay homage to the past while still focusing on the future. &#8220;Jaguar automobiles of the earlier were of their time; they weren&#8217;t staring back, they were moving forward.

2025 Will Be A Year Of Jaguar With 3 New E-SUV Models

<h2>About Polestar</h2>
Polestar was founded in 2017 as a new, independent Swedish luxury EV manufacturer. Polestar, which was founded by Volvo Car AB (together with its subsidiaries, &#8220;Volvo Cars&#8221;) and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd (&#8220;Geely&#8221;), advantages from special technical and industrial efficiencies with Volvo Cars, as well as considerable efficiencies.
<h2>Production In US and China</h2>
The company has revealed the first official overt images of the Polestar 3, a dual-motor lithium-ion SUV which will go into production next fall both in the United States and China. Buyers can expect to receive their first autos early next year.
The cars will be manufactured at Volvo&#8217;s facility near Charleston, South Carolina, making it the first electric vehicle built in the United States by either Polestar or Volvo. The Volvo XC90 is now produced at that facility. When the next generation of that model goes into production in a year or so. It will be available in a battery-electric version.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-12300 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/polestar-3-teaser-image-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/polestar-3-teaser-image-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/polestar-3-teaser-image-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/polestar-3-teaser-image-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/polestar-3-teaser-image.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
<h2>600 Kilometers Range</h2>
According to the WLTP standard, the new electric SUV will have a range of 373 miles/600 kilometers. As of yet, there are no EPA range numbers available but estimate it to be 10% to 15% lower than the WLTP figure. There are no pricing details available at this time.
The Polestar 3 will be constructed utilizing the company&#8217;s latest Scalable Product Architecture, which will integrate &#8220;automated highway piloting driven by Luminar&#8217;s best-in-class LIDAR sensor and centralized NVIDIA computing capability,&#8221; resulting in a largely autonomous driving system on some limited-access highways.
<h2>Compact SUV And  Sports Sedan  Models In Near Future</h2>
In 2023, the Polestar 4 compact SUV will be introduced, followed by the Polestar 5 sports sedan in 2024. The sports sedan is a production model of Jo Borras&#8217; Precept Concept, which was revealed last year. It&#8217;s also considering developing an electric roadster code-named 02. It intends to sell more automobiles in more than 30 nations around the world than Porsche.
The corporation could be broken off as a distinct entity later this year. It will be through a reverse merger with a special purpose acquisition company. On this occasion, it will become a publicly-traded company. When the Polestar 3 is formally unveiled at a launch ceremony in October, Polestar will begin taking orders.

Polestar To Debut First Electric SUV In Last Quarter Of 2022

One of the biggest challenges of the EV industry is to provide longer ranges with a single charge. That’s why companies try to develop batteries that can be charged as fast as possible.
Polestar has officially announced that it will make its first financial investment in Israeli battery technology innovator, StoreDot.
StoreDot is the pioneer in manufacturing extreme fast charging (XFC) batteries that will overcome the range and charging anxiety of the EV industry. StoreDot&#8217;s strategic investors and partners include Daimler, BP, VinFast, Volvo, Ola Electric, Samsung, TDK, and the manufacturing partner EVE Energy.
<h2>Revolutionizing the battery architecture</h2>
Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingelath says that “Charging and range anxiety are common concerns holding owners of combustion engine cars back from making the switch to EVs. Store Dot’s advanced battery technology potentially provides real solutions to these obstacles.”
The company has revolutionized the conventional Li-ion battery and has been using two different techniques to produce XFC batteries.
The first technique of StoreDot is to replace the conventional graphite in the battery’s anode with silicon nanoparticles, synthesized together with proprietary small-molecule organic compounds. The Israeli company says that this mix overcomes the inherent challenges of the silicon such as its expansion during the charging cycles and the subsequent energy loss.
Secondly, the battery manufacturer company developed a hybrid-solid electrolyte, which creates a low-resistance flow of ions between the battery’s electrodes, increasing energy density.
<h2>StoreDot promises  100 miles range in under 5 mins</h2>

Through its ‘100inX’ product roadmap, StoreDot is confident that its batteries will deliver 160 km/100 miles of charge in five minutes by 2024, three minutes by 2028, and just two minutes by 2032. In other words, this will be the same time it takes to refuel a conventional combustion engine car.
With this partnership, StoreDot will adapt and apply its technology to the prototypes of Polestar’s EVs. If this pilot program becomes successful, the company will put its fast-charging batteries into Polestars by 2026.
StoreDot CEO, Dr. Doron Myersdorf, adds, “We are extremely excited to be entering into an agreement with Polestar, both as an investor and collaborator. Like us, Polestar is an extremely ambitious, innovative brand and is already proving to be pivotal in the mass adoption of electric vehicles, helping us move to a cleaner, zero-emissions world. We are looking forward to working together and we know that our technologies have huge potential to eradicate charging and range anxieties for future Polestar owners.”
