Tesla

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

How to Turn Off Regenerative Braking on a Tesla?

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32404" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png" alt="" width="755" height="425" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png 755w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px" />
Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US (Updated on Jan. 2023)

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> are getting really popular, but the main concerns, such as short range and long charging times that hold conventional vehicle owners back from switching sides are still yet to be solved. That is where higher-voltage electric vehicles are coming into play. Tesla recently announced its 1000-volt system and hinted more Tesla vehicles will benefit from the new tech. Future EVs will eventually make the switch from 400V to higher voltage systems.
800V or higher voltage electric vehicles are capable of delivering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">ultra-fast charging</a> rates and offer higher performance while improving the efficiency of the all systems. 800V electric vehicles can only be possible by employing an 800V battery and using SiC (Silicone Carbide) inverter, proper cabling, OBC (On-board Charger), DCDC converter and other electrical equipments that support higher voltage levels. Conventional electric vehicles come with 400V electrical architecture as standard. Because of the voltage limit, today&#8217;s electric vehicles are limited to a maximum of 400-volt when they are connected to a DC charging station. In order to reach higher charge rates, current levels should go up to 600A or even more, which is not ideal for the infrastructure that charging stations heavily rely on.
The first higher-voltage EV is the Porsche Taycan, which has a cutting-edge 800V inverter built-in. Its DC charging rate can go as high as 270 kW with the proper charging setup. After that Hyundai and Kia developed an alternative 800V charging tech to avoid using an expensive 800V SiC inverter. In late 2021, Lucid Motors launched its first vehicle Lucid Air with an industry-leading 924V system developed by <a href="https://eepower.com/news/wolfspeed-announces-the-lucid-air-is-using-its-sic-power-modules/#">Wolfspeed</a>. And one year later, Tesla unveiled its first 1000V vehicle architecture with the launch of the tri-motor electric truck Tesla Semi. <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ev-charging-800-volt">General Motors</a>, Volkswagen, and, of course, Chinese brands such as Aion, Avatr, Xpeng, Zeekr, BYD, Voyah and Li Auto have also been developing 800V high-voltage electrical systems for their EVs.
In this article, we researched our way into higher voltage electric vehicles and created a list of benefits of owning an 800V EV.
<h2>Faster Charging Compared to 400V Electric Vehicles</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32268" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800V or higher voltage systems allow electric vehicles to be charged at as high as 480 kW, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/xpeng-g9-awd">Xpeng G9</a> proved. Regular 400V electric vehicles aren&#8217;t capable of doing that, because of the charging infrastructure&#8217;s current limit. When you plug your 400V vehicle into a DC charger, you limit your session to 400-volt. To provide faster charging speeds, EV charger should deliver more current, sometimes as high as 600A or even more (The third-gen Tesla Superchargers can deliver up to 660-amper). In order to increase the current, thicker and water-cooled cables are needed. Even using these expensive cables are not enough to lower down the charge efficiency, as conduction losses will increase up to nine times.
EV manufacturers have been developing 800V charging technologies to overcome this fast-charging problem. Some companies such as Porsche/Audi, Lucid Motors, and Xpeng use SiC inverters inside their EVs. These next-gen SiC inverters can handle higher voltages and also improve efficiency. Hyundai and Kia took a different approach to this matter. Korean automakers developed a technology that manages to provide 800-volt charging by using electric motors as generator and a regular IGBT inverter.
Thanks to more advanced electronics, 800-volt charging enables vehicle owners to reach up to 480 kW DC charging rates. For instance, Xpeng G9 and Aion LX Plus are already on sale that support ultra-fast 480+ kW charging. Lucid Air can go as high as 300 kW. Porsche Taycan did perform similiarly. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 is also capable of delivering up to 240 kW DC charging speeds. 800V charging is definitely the future of EVs!
<h3>More Efficient &amp; More Powerful Electric Drivetrains</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32291" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="510" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-300x204.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-768x522.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1568x1066.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech.jpg 1938w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
By switching to a 800V architecture, EV manufacturers can make use of higher voltage motors as well. Porsche is the first company to implement an 800V electric motor into its vehicles. Higher voltage improves overall power density of the motor unit and it reduces the maximum torque required to achieve the same output power due to extended RPM range.
As the DC link voltage of the EV motor units increase, the current levels decrease. This leads to lower copper loss and improves efficiency of the electrical traction systems. Higher voltage motors are also tend to produce more power than lower voltage solutions.
From the efficiency perspective, the next-gen SiC inverters used inside 800V electric vehicles are also much more efficient. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u8">BYD recently unveiled</a> its first SiC inverter developed in-house, which scores an efficiency level of 99.5 percent.
<h3>800V Architectures Mean Lighter Electric Cars</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-32293 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800-volt electrical architectures can be created by using thinner cables between the battery pack and the inverter, DC charging port, OBC, and other equipments. As a result, 800V electric vehicles will use less copper and that would reduce the overall weight of the car.
Higher voltage electric motors are also significantly lighter and more power-dense than regular lower voltage units. That means 800V electric vehicles can be equipped with smaller, lighter motors. That creates more room for batteries as well.
<h3>Reduced Cost of Cabling, Less Copper Used Inside the Vehicle</h3>
Electric vehicles use more copper than any other vehicles. It takes 2 to 4 times more copper to build an EV than an ICE vehicle. But unlike 400V EVs, higher voltage systems don&#8217;t require thick copper cables. That will not only help manufacturers reduce the cost of cabling but also ease up the global copper supply chain. Because EV batteries and heavy investments in EV charging infrastructure have already been causing problems for the copper industry, thinner cables will help in the near future.
Here are some disadvantages of choosing 800V electrical system over a regular 400V architecture:
&#8211; Higher cost of electrical insulation and clearance
&#8211; Higher voltage battery packs tend to perform less reliable than 400V systems, because they contain larger number of series connections. The impact of single cell failure in a pack like this would be much higher than the 400V batteries with more parallel cells.
&#8211; Lower voltage battery packs are more energy-dense than the similiarly designed 800V batteries, which is the result of all the additional electrical clearance requirements around high voltage systems and the much larger BMS.

What is 800V Electric Vehicle? | What are the Benefits of 800V Systems?

Volvo

Volvo, a Geely-owned Swedish carmaker wants to offer solely electric vehicles by 2030. It promises to release one new battery-powered model per year, starting this year to meet that objective. Volvo&#8217;s mystery SUV will be an electric subcompact vehicle rumored to named as EX30.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-30078 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The EX30, according to Rowan, will enter production in China in 2023. It will play a significant role in helping Volvo reach its 2025 goal of selling 1.2 million vehicles annually. Due to manufacturing difficulties in China, Volvo sold 698,693 vehicles in 2021 and it seems to sell slightly less this year.
<h2>Volvo EX30 Ready for Sale in 2023</h2>
Late in 2023, buyers should be able to purchase the EX30. It will be built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform developed by Geely, which is also the foundation for the new <a href="https://www.licarco.com/smart-1">Smart #1</a> that was unveiled last spring. That vehicle measures 168 inches/4.27 m in length, 72 inches/1.8 m in width, and 64.4 inches/1.64 m in height.

Another compact electric SUV from the Swedish brand: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volvo-c40-recharge">Volvo C40</a>
The Smart #1 features a single 272 hp (200 kW) motor, a 66 kWh battery, and a WLTP range of 273 miles/440 km. Its starting price of €41,490 may serve as a guide for the pricing of the EX30, which Volvo anticipates to be its best-selling vehicle in a few years.
<h2>Volvo Focusing on More Young Customer</h2>
The average age of Volvo customers is likely to decrease by 10 years, according to various news sources. However, Rowan worries that it will be too expensive for younger customers. Therefore, Volvo wants to offer it mostly through a subscription for a monthly price. Rowan asserts that using the subscription model makes it easier to attract younger customers.
Electrive claims that Volvo has ruled out battery changing as a strategy to keep pricing affordable for younger customers. This might be due to the battery pack becoming a structural component of the automobile for additional safety.
Volvo will offer a variety of batteries in the EX30, according to Rowan, &#8220;so a client may pick the range that best matches their lifestyle as well as their budget.&#8221; He went on to say that Gen Z customers &#8220;continue to seek top safety equipment, a terrific ride, and excellent quality.&#8221;

EX30 Subcompact Electric SUV Confirmed by Volvo for 2023

The introduction of a 600 kW mid-race charging session has been postponed until next year in the electric open-wheel racing championship known as Formula E. This year, the series had intended to feature a brief charging pit stop during races, however, issues with the supply chain have prevented this from happening.
This year, Formula E unveiled a new, quicker &#8220;Gen3&#8221; car that is lighter and more potent than the vehicle from the previous year. The new vehicle has a large DC charge capacity, which not only opens up the possibility of mid-race recharge but also helps to enable better regenerative braking.
<h2>GEN3 Models Will Change The Game For Formula E</h2>
This year, the series is expected to include mid-race charging, with each race requiring one &#8220;pit stop&#8221; for a charge that would last around 30 seconds. Considering how quickly EVs charge, 30 seconds may not seem like much time, but every second counts because Gen3 cars charge at such a fast pace.
With a charge rate of 600 kW, a 30-second charge may provide around 5 kWh of energy, about 1/8th the size of the 39 kWh battery pack in the Gen3 model. In just 30 seconds, vehicles can charge more than 10%.
According to Formula E, the technology for these chargers is fully developed, but supply channels for the ABB charging unit that competitors would utilize have proved problematic.
As a result, the original schedule to introduce charging at the start of this season was delayed until midway through. It now appears as if the chargers would only be available for the final one or two race weekends of the year.
Consequently, the plans to introduce that point turn into a question of justice because, in a racing season that is already close, implementing a modification at the very end of the campaign might ultimately decide the title.
Some teams opposed that, saying that the regulations shouldn&#8217;t alter in the middle of the season and should remain the same the entire time. Porsche has specifically opposed the rule change, despite presently leading both the teams&#8217; and drivers&#8217; championships.
Instead, the series now plans on introducing charging from the start of the 2024 season. It appears optimistic that supply difficulties will be resolved by then and that racing teams would be more accepting of a full-season shift.

Formula E Postpones Its Plans For 600 KW Mid-Race Recharge Until Next Year

An ominous image presented on the social media accounts of Chinese carmaker BYD hinted that it would debut a new electric SUV at the forthcoming Shanghai Auto Show. The Dynasty series SUV, which is still nameless, will have an all-electric drivetrain. It is expected that the vehicle would compete in the expanding market for electric SUVs and might present a significant challenge to other well-established competitors in the sector.
The EV&#8217;s elegant coupe-SUV rear end is highlighted in the single photo. The full-width LED taillights, broad shoulders, and strongly slanted rear glass all hint that the Chinese carmaker at least partially took inspiration from the Porsche Cayenne Coupe. Though it is true that this is not the first Chinese model to mimic the Cayenne, as far as it can be said, it could be the most accurate rendition yet.
In spite of this, the new BYD electric SUV has certain standout characteristics that differentiate it from the Porsche Cayenne Coupe. Two vertical bars acting as the third brake light, a double rear spoiler protruding from the top, and mirror-replacing cameras are a few examples. The new SUV will be part of the BYD Dynasty series, which is named after, you guessed it, Chinese dynasties.
Sadly, BYD has not provided any information on the new model, which is referred to be a totally electric &#8220;B-Class SUV.&#8221; However, it is expected to use BYD&#8217;s e-platform 3.0, which is used by a number of Chinese automakers&#8217; zero-emission cars.
On April 18, the new EV will be formally presented, and the Chinese market will likely get it later in 2023. The quad electric motor-equipped <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u8">U8 off-roader</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u9">U9 supercar</a> from the new YangWang brand will also be displayed at BYD&#8217;s booth at the Shanghai Auto Show.
The new BYD electric SUV is slated to make its public debut on April 18 before going on sale in China later that year.

BYD To Tease New Electric SUV

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 decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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

Maserati

According to rumors, McLaren is secretly developing &#8220;a car for family purposes.&#8221; The company wanted to add more product lines to its portfolio to increase sales. Once more, there are whispers about a McLaren SUV. The procedure has allegedly already begun, according to UK-based Car magazine&#8217;s interview with McLaren CEO Michael Leiters. Leiters strongly implied that McLaren&#8217;s &#8220;family vehicle&#8221; will also be all-electric and its first SUV.
In the interview, Leiters&#8217; statements sound ambiguous because he has discussed how a McLaren SUV may materialize rather than providing a definitive denial that it is presently in production.
<h2>A Car for Family Purposes</h2>
The CEO of McLaren said that he wouldn&#8217;t want to produce an electric supercar using today&#8217;s modern lithium-ion batteries simply because it would cost too much and not handle as effectively as an ICE or hybrid McLaren. However, an electric SUV or &#8220;limousine&#8221; might be acceptable, since handling wouldn&#8217;t be as crucial and it could make it highly strong.
It&#8217;s plausible to conclude that Leiters meant &#8220;a car for family purposes&#8221; to refer to an SUV even though he never specifically said such a vehicle was in the works. Admittedly, Leiters had served for Ferrari, wherein his final project was the Purosangue, before joining McLaren. Additionally, Leiters worked as a project manager at Porsche before joining Ferrari, where he contributed to Cayenne&#8217;s development.
Financially speaking, a &#8220;Super SUV&#8221; is an excellent idea for McLaren. Other supercar manufacturers have launched SUVs with remarkable success. Making an SUV would surely be a wise choice given McLaren&#8217;s continued financial difficulties.

The focus on elegance and large profit ratios suggests that anything situated just above Porsche Cayenne SUV is in Porsche&#8217;s model lineup. In the same manner that the Taycan is a grand touring equal to the Panamera with a bite from the 911, Porsche&#8217;s sports car symbol, the next model might be an electric version of the Cayenne.

According to reports, the Mission R electric race car that Porsche unveiled in September will be used in the production of the new vehicle, which will be made in Leipzig.
The company claims that this prototype car&#8217;s 900-volt power system could charge from 5 to 80 % within 15 minutes when used with the right charging system. Two electric motors provide the Mission R with its power: a front-axle motor with 429 horsepower and a rear-axle motor with 644 horsepower. An 80.0-kWh battery is used to generate the energy needed by the motors.

With its next all-electric SUV, Porsche plans to take advantage of the rising demand for SUVs and EVs. Blume stated in a press statement from the company that &#8220;we are targeting the higher margin categories in particular and seek to tap into new sales prospects this way.&#8221;
Within 10 years, according to Porsche, 80% of its worldwide sales should be electric vehicles. The Macan EV has already been put off for a year. The delay is brought on by the VW Group&#8217;s software development running late.
In the upcoming years, Porsche intends to solely provide an electric version of the 718 Cayman. By the middle of the decade, Blume stated in a firm press statement from the firm, &#8220;We intend to solely offer our 718 mid-engine sports car in all-electric form.&#8221;

Porsche Announces A New Electrified SUV Program.

Polestar

<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 decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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

Volkswagen

Even though not having delivered a single 100 percent EV, Bentley&#8217;s CEO plans to burn through the sector&#8217;s specifications page. In the latest interview, Adrian Hallmark teased some specifications and pricing details for Bentley&#8217;s first EV.
According to Hallmark, the Bentley EV scheduled for 2025 will be capable of producing up to 1,400 hp. And it&#8217;s accelerating from 0-60 mph/0-97 kph in 1.5 seconds. If true, this new Bentley would outperform both the Tesla Model S Plaid with1,020 hp and the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance with 1,111 hp. Both of the speediest passenger EVs on the market, hitting 0-60 mph in under two seconds.
Some specifications solely could be a great selling point for EV connoisseurs with financial backing. Hallmark claims that the new Bentley&#8217;s essential selling point is not its unparagoned speed. He claims it will be the vehicle&#8217;s extremely simple outperforming due to instant torque.
<h2>Envisagement and Target Pricing</h2>
Hallmark did not provide any extra information about the latest Bentley EV. However, he did state that its design would be based on the Continental GT coupe, Flying Spur sedan, and Bentayga SUV from the automaker&#8217;s current roster. As Bentley appears to be going all-electric, Hallmark says all three models will be converted to BEV versions.
<h2>Piquant Strategy</h2>
The novel BEV will be created on the premium platform electric (PPE) advanced by Volkswagen Group divisions Porsche and Audi. The PPE will instantaneously provide Bentley with battery tech, drive components, and body functions. It also provides connected and autonomous car functionality.

Bentley EXP 100 GT
While there are no official valuations for the 2025 Bentley EV, its own CEO has stated that approximately one variant will cost more than €250,000/$262,000. For this kind of money, this EV had better go from 0 to 60 mph in 1.5 seconds while also providing massages.
What is fascinating is that the steep price argument is not due to the high cost of EV batteries. Hallmark stated that and continued:
&#8220;The 12-cylinder engine costs roughly ten times as much as the average premium car engine, and the average battery costs less than our 12-cylinder engine. I can&#8217;t wait for batteries, which are relatively inexpensive.&#8221;

15 Biggest Manufacturers of EV Charging Stations

Fisker

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=fisker">Fisker</a>, founded by the auto designer Henrik Fisker, is set to release its first electric vehicle later this year and will add four more electric vehicles to its line-up by 2025. The company says that a new compact EV called Pear will be on the roads in 2023. If the automaker became successful in releasing those EVs as planned, Fisker is expected to be a legitimate Tesla competitor.
<a href="https://www.licarco.com/fisker-ocean">Fisker Ocean</a>, the first EV of the US-based start-up, is planned to launch in late 2022 and has already received tens of thousands of reservations so far. The Ocean will be the flagship of the car manufacturer. The next two EVs to follow include a sports car in a similar vein to the classic British icons and a model that is under development.
As the founder, Henrik Fisker said that the EV to launch after Pear will redefine the luxury sports cars of the future. The new sports car is under development at Fisker Magic Works, the automaker’s UK engineering complex. The company describes this car as a “proper British sports car” but says less about the fourth EV model.
Henrik Fisker stated that they have plenty of time to decide on the form of the fourth model. He also said that “We have many options because there are so many EV segments that still have no entries. If you&#8217;re looking for a Porsche Boxster-type car or a minivan, you have very few options.”
<h2>Fisker partnered with Foxconn to be a top seller</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-9062" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302-1024x682.jpg" alt="Fisker" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/976302.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Fisker has partnered with Foxconn to produce Pear in targeted volumes. The Taiwanese tech manufacturing giant, a production partner of Apple, owns and manages the former General Motors Lordstown plant in Ohio, where the Pear will be produced.
The objective of Fisker is to sell EVs globally and one million cars per year. The company will be able to produce 250,000 units of Pear per year and producing Pear in Lordstown will be a milestone for the company in reaching its goal.
Fisker, despite its devotion, has lots of work to compete against EV giant <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=tesla">Tesla</a> and lots of legacy automakers who are ready for the EV future. Since Henrik Fisker was not successful in his first attempt at creating an auto brand, the first steps with his new company are very crucial for him. Tesla already delivered almost one million EVs in 2021, so Fisker has a long way to go.

Fisker to launch four new EVs until 2025

All electric cars lose some range in winter conditions. In colder winter regions, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, and northern United States, EV users must adapt their daily driving and charging habits. The bad news is that&#8217;s all there is to it. The good news is that this loss of range is only temporary, and EV battery will not be harmed in the long run. The projected range of EV at full charge should revert to normal when the glaciers melt and the temperatures rise.
Related article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/ev-range-tests-explained-comparison-between-epa-ratings-wltp-nedc-and-cltc/">EV Range Tests Explained: Comparison Between EPA Ratings, WLTP, NEDC, and CLTC</a>
UK&#8217;s well known vehicle news website Autocar.com range-tested a number of electric vehicles in both summer and winter settings to see what range they lose in real life scenarios. Unfortunately, while the journal was able to test four similar cars in both hot and cold temperatures, the other vehicles were only tested in the winter, with the proper winter range being especially in comparison to the official WLTP-rated range where feasible.
Despite the fact that the study isn&#8217;t uniform across all models tested, it does provide some evidence of range decline. The four identical vehicles evaluated through both seasons revealed a range loss of up to 20%, with the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/porsche-taycan-turbo-s/">Porsche Taycan</a> suffering the most, and the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/fiat-500e-42-kwh/">Fiat 500e</a> suffering the least. The experiments were carried out in a closed loop, according to the journal. They used a 24.14 km route that had 4.18 km of stop-and-go traffic. The driving then continued for four miles at 50 mph and almost thirteen at 70 mph. Again, this isn&#8217;t a genuine range test from full to empty in the real world, but it does give folks a sense of the evident loss in frigid conditions.
The range testing also highlighted the significance of a heat pump for dealing with cold-weather range reduction, according to the report. When compared to their WLTP-estimated range, models with a heating system experienced an average seasonal range loss of roughly 25%. Those without a heat pump, on the other hand, lost roughly 34% of their estimated range.

The Facts About EV Range Loss in the Winter…

<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars/?filter=porsche" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Porsche</a> launched its line of electric bicycles last year, and the German automaker shows how serious it is about e-bikes by investing in another company.
Porsche has bought a minority share from a German company called Fazua, which has developed one of the most innovative electric drive systems.
Founded in 2013, Fazua is a pioneer in the development of compact and lightweight technologies which are used by more than 40 brands. The mid-drive motors of Fazua’s e-bikes can be removed, along with the battery pack. The removability of those parts helps the riders to get rid of all the extra weight of e-bikes when carrying them.
The deal between Porsche and Fazua includes an initial %20 ownership of the company by Porsche for an undisclosed amount and an option for Porsche to buy more shares to become the majority owner of Fazua.
Porsche has also announced that it will establish a strategic partnership with Ponooc, an investment company that works in sustainable energy and mobility solutions. Two companies will establish two joint ventures in the field of electric mobility.
One of these ventures is to develop, manufacture, and distribute the next generation of Porsche’s e-bikes. Technological solutions in the micro-mobility market will be the focus of the other venture of Porsche and Ponooc.

With this strategic partnership, the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer intends to take more advantage of the know-how of two companies in the attractive and fast-growing eBike market. This is a clear strategy: Porsche&#8217;s expertise will be supplemented by the market-specific know-how of Fazua and Ponooc, which has a broad portfolio of ventures in micro-mobility and mobility platforms.
The German automaker and its enduring partner Rotwild continue to work on Porsche’s current e-bike models. The exclusive bikes of Porsche eBike Sport and the eBike Cross have launched in March 2021. The former is a daily e-bike with the ultra-compact Shimano EP8 motor, which provides motor support up to 15.5 miles per hour, whereas the latter is an off-road e-bike with the same motor. Porsche Digital GmbH is building a platform for digital services around the cycling experience under the Cyklær brand.

Porsche buys stakes from an e-bike company and plans two joint ventures

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>
