CUPRA

Cupra Born is the first electric vehicle that Seat’s sub-brand will be launching later in the 2021. It is a fully electric hatchback packed with an 82-kWh battery. Cupra Born will be one of the first performance-oriented EV that use the Volkswagen Group’s EV-dedicated modular platform called MEB.
There are three version of this car: Born 45, Born 58, and Born 77. These numbers point out the useable battery capacity. Motor power also vary between these versions. It is being manufactured in Germany at the same factory VW ID.3 and ID.4 are assembled. Cupra Born will be available starting from November 2021 and it will be sold in most of the European countries.
<h2>Performance</h2>
Cupra Born 45 comes with a 150 HP, 310 Nm torque front wheel drive electric motor. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. Born 58 is much faster with its 7.3 seconds acceleration performance, as it offers 204 horsepower.
Cupra Born 77 will be the highest on the range coming in 2022. It can produce up to 231 HP and reach 0-100 km/h in 6,6 with boost mode. Other technical details of this variant will be announced later.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Cupra Born is the sportier version of the VW ID.3, front and back bumpers of the vehicle look very aggressive. On the C-pillar, there are matte black patterns on the C-pillar.
Door panels are half hard plastic and half microfiber material. Dashboard, on the other hand, is soft to the touch and looks very cool. Unlike exterior, interior of the Cupra Born does resemble VW ID.3 a lot. Center display and digital gauge cluster look very similar.
There are lots of capacitive buttons inside the vehicle, as the latest Volkswagen cars also have. That’s not very practical for a performance car, especially the buttons on the steering wheel are prone to accidental touches.
Sports seats look wonderful, and colors used on the interior stuff are really fascinating to look at. The Born is a comfortable car as much as a hatchback can be, and there is enough space for passengers in the back to enjoy the instant torque of this small electric vehicle.
There are USB ports and also wireless charging pad for the mobile devices. The 12-inch infotainment system offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. You can enjoy the contents from your smartphone with the Beats audio system, as well.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Cupra Born will offer three battery pack options: 45 kWh, 58 kWh, 77 kWh. Ranges according to WLTP cycle are 349 km, 421 km, and 548 km, respectively.
Electric hatchback supports 100 kW DC charging, %0 to %80 in 31-35 minutes. Born 77 will probably be able charged at 125 kW rates. Base model Born 45 only supports 7.2 kW AC plugs, Born 58 and 77 does include an 11 kW on-board AC charger, bringing the full charge time to a little over 6 hours.

If you just bought an electric vehicle, you might be wondering what you&#8217;re going to do when you leave for a vacation or a long business trip. Because, unlike traditional petrol/diesel vehicles, electric cars have a battery pack that tends to drain over time. Here is a reliving answer to your concerns:
An electric car can sit for at least two months without charging. The exact time you can leave your vehicle without charge depends highly on the charge level and weather temperature. The average charge loss is around 1.5 to 0.5 percent per day. In some cases it can be as low as 0.1 percent or as high as 2-3 percent. The smart features (such as Tesla&#8217;s Summon), climate control, preconditioning the cabin and the battery pack, always-on security features (Tesla Sentry Mode, Rivian Gear Guard, etc.), dog mode, and other features that keep the car&#8217;s system awake will drain the battery faster.
In order to make your electric car last longer without charge, you need to disable all features that might keep your car consumes energy even if you leave it unattended for weeks.
Here is some advice that will help you conserve your EV&#8217;s battery level:
&#8211; Turn on the vacation mode or power-saving mode if it exists. (some EVs have deep-sleep modes optimized for these situations)
&#8211; Disable security mode, dog mode, etc. that might keep your car and its sensors awake.
&#8211; Do not use mobile apps connected to your car if it&#8217;s not necessary. By merely running those apps will wake your car&#8217;s systems and drain your battery even faster.
&#8211; Make sure that your battery level is above 50 percent. Tesla even suggests that you leave your electric car plugged in if you&#8217;re going to be absent for more than a few days. Other manufacturers recommend leaving your car&#8217;s battery at an average charge level, neither full nor lower than 50 percent.
&#8211; Turn off any preconditioning feature. These settings might start your car without you knowing and preheat the cabin and battery pack in cold temperatures.

Electric car batteries are made possible by using probably the most advanced battery technologies on the market. But they still self-discharge, some batteries might drain faster and some might hold on to their energy better. If you leave your electric car parked for a couple of days, weeks, or even months, you will see that you lose a significant percentage of charge when you&#8217;re gone.

How Long Can An Electric Car Sit Without Charging?

Peugeot

Peugeot struck the mark with the 3008, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular cars in Europe&#8217;s fiercely competitive compact SUV segment. The third-generation <a href="https://www.licarco.com/peugeout-e-308">E-3008</a> is anticipated to debut later this year, despite the second generation receiving a makeover in 2020 and mild hybrid powertrains in 2023.
The latest 3008 made its debut back in 2016, and it marked a dramatic shift from the minivan it replaced. With Peugeot&#8217;s distinctive LED fangs added during the 2020 facelift, the SUV gained in attractiveness. Yet as time goes on, so do the trends in vehicles that call for higher-riding SUVs to have more contoured bodies and sportier attitudes. Peugeot will convert the third-generation 3008 into a coupe SUV just like this.
<h2>The E-3008 Will be Sportier Than  Its Predecessor 408 Fastback</h2>
The newly designed tail will be the focal point of the new model, changing the proportions and allowing it to compete with more expensive rivals. The 3008 will appear sportier than the 408 fastback despite being somewhat taller and slightly longer than it. The revamped design will also make distinguishing the 3008 from its boxier 5008 sibling&#8217;s successor easier.
The character line will be simpler and straighter, and the roofline will be more slanted towards the back. It wouldn&#8217;t be shocking if Peugeot reduced the amount of plastic used to cover the bodywork to make the SUV appear more upscale and less daring.
Like other Peugeot models, the smaller LED taillights with three-claw designs are expected to be joined by a dark-tinted trim piece. The duo-tone approach with the black-painted roof and pillars will likely be carried over to the following generation, while new wheel designs and a fresh color palette might spice up the aesthetics even more.
The future model is expected to get bigger in line with the SUV trend, leaving a more significant gap between it and the soon-to-be facelifted 2008, which has a length of 4.300 mm/169.3 inches. The length of the present 3008 is 4.447 mm/175.1 inches, and the upcoming version is expected to be significantly longer. Despite its coupe-SUV look, this size increase will improve the car&#8217;s proportions and give more space for passengers and baggage.
<h2>The New STLA Medium Architecture Will Debut With the New 3008 As Its Initial Model</h2>
The new Peugeot 3008 will be the first vehicle to ride on the new STLA Medium architecture, the company has officially announced. In the second half of 2023, the electric E-3008 will make its debut, shortly followed by the bigger and mechanically similar E-5008. Peugeot will still provide other choices in the form of electrified powertrains for some areas that are not yet fully prepared for EVs, even if the zero-emission powertrains will be the major emphasis of the new generation.
In comparison to the present EMP2 platform, which supports the Peugeot E-308 and many other Stellantis EVs, the STLA Medium architecture is anticipated to deliver increased technological capabilities on the electric front in terms of power output and range. More precisely, Peugeot will provide customers with a choice of three distinct electric powertrains for the E-3008, with an emissions-free range of up to 700 km/440 miles.

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> have not only bigger batteries and electric motors but also more advanced software compared to ICE vehicles. There are even a couple of EV-oriented operating systems for automakers to use. Tesla, as the pioneer of EVs, has the lead in automotive software with its famously cool features, remote capabilities, etc.
But it doesn&#8217;t mean that <a href="https://licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a> always run smoothly. Tesla Model 3 and Model Y users occasionally report that their main screen is frozen, got stuck on a menu, or doesn&#8217;t properly work or respond. It&#8217;s not usual, but there is an easy fix for those kinds of problems. You need to restart/or reboot your vehicle&#8217;s main system.
In this article, we created a step-by-step guide for Tesla vehicle owners to help them reboot/restart their electric cars easily.
<h2>A Step-by-Step Tesla Restart/Rebooting Guide</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32907" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="468" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-300x187.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-768x479.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1536x959.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1568x979.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons.jpg 2035w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Step 1. Pull over your Tesla and shift it into Park Mode.
If you encounter any problem regarding the main screen while you&#8217;re driving, Tesla highly recommends that you don&#8217;t continue to drive and just safely park your vehicle as soon as possible.
Step 2. Put your hands on the steering wheel and hold down both scroll buttons/wheels.
Some other reboot guides tell you that you need to press the brake pedal while holding. This action doesn&#8217;t impact the restarting process. So, it&#8217;s not required.
Step 3. Keep holding down the scroll buttons until the main screen turns black.
The Tesla logo will appear on the touchscreen after a few seconds. It&#8217;ll take around 30 seconds for your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen to restart.
By following these steps, you will only restart your Tesla&#8217;s touchscreen. It doesn&#8217;t power your vehicle&#8217;s whole system off and on. If the screen still has problems while operating, you might try manually powering off the vehicle. Just go to the &#8216;Controls&#8217; menu and touch the &#8216;Safety&#8217; option. Then, press the &#8216;Power Off&#8217; button to power cycle the vehicle.

How to Restart/Reboot Tesla Model 3/Y?

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>

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

With the brand-new Cyberster, which honors vintage British roadsters, MG is going back to its roots. Prior to its premiere at the Shanghai Auto Show next week, the electric car has been largely unveiled courtesy of images from China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants of the Cyberster will be offered, with the twin motor type offering up to 536 horsepower (400 kW) of electric power.
Leaked design patent drawings first revealed the production version of the 2021 MG Cyberster concept in June 2022. The concept was then seen in its natural state in February 2023. The outside of the automobile is definitely appealing, and the new photographs offer us the finest look at it so far. Given that roadsters are uncommon in today&#8217;s age of SUVs, the public is likely to react positively to the MG Cyberster.
<h2>Cyberster Can Reach a Maximum Speed of 200 kph/124 mph</h2>
The front electric motor on the Cyberster has a rated power of 101 horsepower (75 kW) and a max output of 201 horsepower (150 kW). The motor at the back typically generates 215 horsepower (160 kW), with a top output of 335 hp. (250 kW). The vehicle can go 200 kph/124 mph at its peak speed. No battery information is provided.
The Cyberster has the following physical measurements: 178.5 inches (4,535 millimeters) in length, 75.31 inches (1,913 mm) in width, and 52.32 inches (1,329 mm) in height. Wheelbase measurement: 105.9 inches (2,690 mm). In terms of length, width, and height, the MG is somewhat larger than a 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata, which measures 154.1 inches, 68.3 inches, and 48.8 inches. It had a 90.9-inch wheelbase.
The curb weight of the Cyberster is 4,376 pounds according to the Chinese source. (1,985 kilograms).
Roadsters like the T-series, MGA, MGB, and even the F from the 1990s are well known under the MG name. The Cyberster doesn&#8217;t clearly show any stylistic cues from the previous versions except for the two-seat arrangement and the opening roof. Sharp creases are used in the style and flow over the hood&#8217;s arched shape and through the doors.
The taillights are arrow-shaped towards the back. The lowest part features a noticeable diffuser.
A few of the alternatives that MG plans to provide are also depicted in the illustrations. There are soft toppers in black and red. Customers could choose from a variety of wheel styles and symbol designs.

Volkswagen, the all-electric ID.2 and compact SUV ID, to be positioned between the Polo and Golf. It takes great effort to bring 2all models to the market. However, on the one hand, it does not neglect to force the lower segments. An ID to replace e-Up!, according to a recent statement to Autocar by company CFO Arno Antlitz. 1 project is still ongoing.
The German firm started construction on the MEB Entry platform and Valencia battery facility in Spain, which will help it achieve its first objective of lowering the starting price of its electric vehicles to €25,000. In 2025, buyers will encounter automobiles from this level from several brands within the group, including VW, Cupra, and Skoda. However, entering lower price ranges is important to compete with China.
Volkswagen&#8217;s most significant goal in this area is that using the cells it has created, it will be able to cut the price of batteries by up to 50% in the years to come. The 25,000 euro objective will also be significantly impacted by the price decline in battery components.
It is known that the entry-level battery at the moment is an LFP cathode battery with a 38 kWh capacity. The largest battery choice will likely be this one, which has a range of more than 320 kilometers. It will also likely be the ID. 1 battery for urban use. The car is expected to be introduced by 2028 and cost less than 20,000 euros.

Toyota will switch to a unibody chassis design like Tesla. The unibody chassis design, which helped Tesla reduce the cost of production, managed to attract the attention of Toyota after Volvo and Volkswagen. The Japanese giant announced in a press release that it will use a single-piece chassis in both the front and rear of its new electric vehicle platform, which it will launch in 2026.

The solid chassis, which will gradually halve the production cost and reduce the factory investment volume, will be used for the first time in the electric Lexus. It will go on sale in 2026. It is stated that this vehicle will come with a new generation battery that will push the limits with 965 kilometers.
Toyota, which will first get rid of 85 different parts by producing the rear chassis in one piece, will then transform the front chassis and combine a total of 175 chassis parts into two giant parts. The company will realize this transformation with systems similar to the 6,000-ton giant aluminum casting machines that Tesla bought from Italian iDRA.

Toyota To Move A Monolithic Chassis Design Like Tesla

Audi

<ul>
<li>The Q6 e-tron, an electric SUV that will sit between the Q4 e-tron and Q8 e-tron models, has been confirmed by Audi as a new model.</li>
<li>It will utilize the 800-volt electrical architecture of the new PPE platform from the Volkswagen Group.</li>
<li>The Q6 e-tron is expected to make its debut later this year and arrive in the United States in 2025.</li>
</ul>
A new model of Audi&#8217;s electric SUV series, the Q6 E-tron, has been formally announced. This SUV, which sits between the Q4 and Q8 E-tron models, will be built on the Volkswagen Group&#8217;s cutting-edge PPE platform and include an 800-volt electrical architecture. The Q6 E-tron is predicted to launch later this year and be offered as a 2025 model in the United States.
The Q6 E-tron, a brand-new electric model, will soon be added to Audi&#8217;s growing lineup of electric cars. The Q6 E-tron, which sits between the Q4 E-tron and the newly renamed Q8 E-tron EV SUVs, will be offered as a traditional SUV and a sloped-back Sportback, just like its brother models.
The new model&#8217;s design may be seen in recently made public official photos of a camouflaged Q6 prototype undergoing winter testing. Also, Audi has released some preliminary details on its 800-volt electrical design and PPE platform, which will enable quicker charging processes. The Q6 E-tron will compete against other electric SUVs like the Lexus RZ, Cadillac Lyriq, and Genesis Electrified GV70 thanks to its planned standard dual-motor AWD system and Quattro moniker. The PPE electric platform, which will be used in subsequent vehicles, including the Audi A6 E-tron, will also be debuted with the new car by the Volkswagen Group. The Q6 E-tron is expected to be on sale in the upcoming months, despite there being no set release date.
<h2>Audi Moves Fast On The Way To Become A Sustainable Automobile Manufacturer</h2>
The standard dual-motor all-wheel-drive system for the Q6 E-tron is expected to employ the Quattro moniker, which Audi uses for all of its AWD vehicles. The vehicle will go up against other electric SUVs including the Lexus RZ, Cadillac Lyriq, and Genesis Electrified GV70. The Q6 E-tron is expected to launch in the upcoming months, despite the lack of an official release date. The E-SUV is likely to be offered in the US as of 2025.
As Audi continues forward with its plan to become a carbon-neutral carmaker by 2050, the Q6 E-tron will be a crucial addition to its portfolio of electric vehicles. The Q6 E-tron is a sporty and technologically cutting-edge SUV that aims to appeal to drivers who care about the environment but still want performance, luxury, and flair.
Audi announced in May 2021 that it will phase out internal combustion engines by 2026 and go entirely electrified by 2033. The E-tron GT, Audi&#8217;s new flagship electric SUV, was recently introduced. It is positioned as the company&#8217;s flagship electric vehicle and offers a combination of elegance, performance, and sustainability.

Audi’s 3rd Electirc SUV | 2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron

Volkswagen made a mess with the first steps of its electrification plan. Herbert Diess, former VW CEO paid the price with his job last year. Now there is a new man in charge, who happens to admire the German carmaker&#8217;s popular model series. After revamping the EV software project, Volkswagen&#8217;s new boss Oliver Blume now officially confirmed that his firm&#8217;s global models, such as Tiguan, will get an all-electric variant.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz attended a works council meeting yesterday at Volkswagen&#8217;s headquarters in Wolfsburg. The exciting part is VW&#8217;s announcement regarding the electric Tiguan.
A spokesperson confirmed the Tiguan EV, which will probably be called ID. Tiguan, will enter production at the Wolfsburg factory in 2026. It will most likely be an ID.4 replacement. So, we expect a similarly sized and priced electric SUV.
The new Tiguan will be based on the German automaker&#8217;s recently updated EV-dedicated platform called MEB-Plus. This new modular architecture will be able to work with low-cost <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/lithium-ion-battery-cell-types-lfp-nmc-cells-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LFP batteries</a>. Thanks to new battery options, Volkswagen will not only make cheaper EVs but also build models with more than 700 kilometers of range. ID. Tiguan could offer that much range and also support 200-kW DC charging, according to rumors.
<h2>Fully Electric Golf is Coming Back</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2818" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/volkswagen-id-3-energy-consumption-21-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The second good news is about electric Golf. It originally entered the market in 2014, then six years later discontinued after the ID.3&#8217;s highly-anticipated launch. VW&#8217;s Oliver Blume rumoredly made the product team ditch ID.2 plans for a new Golf EV. Now it is hopefully back in the game with a new name: ID. Golf.
Blume acknowledges that Golf is an icon and it should be brought into the electric age. For the purpose of doing that, the VW team has completely redesigned the ID.2. It will be based on the same platform as the electric Tiguan, which is called MEB-Plus. 
Rumors suggest that the first concept named as ID. Life will debut this March. The production of the next-gen e-Golf will hopefully start in 2025. After launching ID. Tiguan and ID. Golf, the next step of Volkswagen&#8217;s electrification plan is to build its flagship EV codenamed Trinity. Customers will have to wait for a couple of more years for Germany&#8217;s so-called &#8216;Tesla killer&#8217;.

Volkswagen ID. Tiguan and ID. Golf is Coming

Skoda

Skoda officially confirms that its most popular vehicle will go electric. Development of the fully-electric Octavia is underway, according to CEO Klaus Zellmer&#8217;s statement published by <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/all-electric-octavia-being-developed-skoda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Autocar</a>.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/ev-sales-overtake-diesel-europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electric vehicle sales in Europe overtake diesel models for the first time</a>
Octavia is the best-selling model of the Czech firm and it will definitely be around after Europe&#8217;s ICE car sales ban in 2035. Skoda aims to generate 70 percent of its profit from fully-electric vehicles by 2030. Octavia will be one of those vehicles. But Zellmer didn&#8217;t rule out the possibility of another generation of ICE and plug-in hybrid Octavia models for some yet-to-be electrified markets.
<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://licarco.com/skoda-enyaq-iv-80" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enyaq iV</a> and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://licarco.com/skoda-enyaq-coupe-rs-iv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enyaq Coupe iV</a> are the first next-gen EVs Skoda launched into the market. Over the next four years, the European carmaker will launch five more vehicles including the electric Octavia. C-segment sedan will use Volkswagen&#8217;s new electric-only platform called SSP, unlike MEB-based Enyaq iV and other VW Group EVs.
<h2>Electric Fabia and 7-seater Vision 7S are also coming soon</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-22673" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1024x619.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="453" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1024x619.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-300x181.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-768x464.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1536x928.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-2048x1238.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1568x948.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Alongside the electric Octavia, the Czech firm will launch a mini-SUV, which is going to replace the current generation B-segment hatchback Fabia. There will also be a 7-seater large-size SUV that will be based on Skoda&#8217;s recently announced concept called Vision 7S. Skoda will cover almost every category of the EV market by releasing a crossover SUV and an urban EV by 2026. These vehicles will look more rugged, just like the automaker&#8217;s new design language shown in the form of an SUV concept earlier this month.
Specs-wise, there is nothing official to report right now. But it is clear that Skoda wants us to take a clue from the Vision 7S concept, which has an 89-kWh battery pack, 600+ kilometers of WLTP range, and 200 kW DC charging support. Electric Octavia will most likely be one of the most competitive C-sedan with this configuration.

<h2>The Scout is coming back for the US Market</h2>
VW is one of the world&#8217;s largest car manufacturers, but its share in the US market is relatively small. The plan of bringing the Scout back as an electric off-road brand is to win over the US auto market, where trucks and SUVs are highly demanded. This is the first time that Volkswagen has created a distinct brand focused on the US.
The teaser images of the Scout&#8216;s forthcoming pick-up truck and SUV are recently released. They both feature clean, boxy proportions, chunky off-road tires, and a raised ground clearance. Both vehicles don’t have a traditional powertrain and it enabled very short overhangs, except for the pick-up which has an extended load bay.
For the Scout, Volkswagen will not use the MEB electric architecture which establishes the company’s electric ID range. Alternatively, they will use a new technical platform concept for the offroad EVs of its new brand.
The new lineup of the Scout will be designed entirely for US customers and the price tag will possibly be around $40,000 which is lower than its rivals like Ford F150 Lightning and Chevrolet Silverado. The German manufacturer claims that the prototypes will be released next year, and the first Scouts will be ready in 2026.
<h2>Volkswagen to invest $1 billion into its new brand</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-10616 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout-1024x576.jpg" alt="1976 International Scout II Terra Diesel" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1976-international-scout.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The Scout was first introduced in 1961 by International Harvester as a small, two-door SUV which was produced to be a rival to Jeep. The Scout and second-generation Scout II were produced in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as two-door trucks with a removable hardtop. Production stopped in 1980, and VW acquired the rights to the brand when it bought Navistar International in 2020. (Navistar was created in 1985 when International Harvester went out of business.
Volkswagen is set to invest $1 billion into the new Scout brand. The investments will probably include building a new manufacturing plant and hiring a whole new pile of US-based executives. The company may also seek outside financing for the project, with the possibility of listing the subsidiary on the public markets once it’s up and running.
Nevertheless, the German manufacturer will have to deal with the global supply chain problem, battery material shortages, and high inflation in the coming years. Herbert Diess, the CEO, recently stated that the company has already been sold out on all EVs both in Europe and the US for the year. It means that people hoping to buy an EV from the VW group may have to wait till 2023 because the company is still trying to solve the chip shortage and production issues due to COVID restrictions in China.

Volkswagen to Revive the Scout as an EV brand

Volkswagen lately announced plans to expand the MEB ( German: Modularer E-Antriebs-Baukasten; English: modular electric-drive toolkit) platform&#8217;s reachable range to 700 km (435 miles). This is likely to have an effect on future products that have yet to be released, but it may also expand the range of existing models, either as a self-contained upgrade or as part of a future facelift for the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-3-pro-performance/">ID.3</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-4-pro-s-awd/">ID.4</a>, and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-5-gtx/">ID.5</a>, as well as the new <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-buzz/">ID Buzz</a>.
The ID Life and Aero B are classified as models set to arrive in 2025 in a VW chart that shows its MEB-based EV portfolio. It is not thought low-cost ID Life, which is being redesigned for production, will be able to reach 435 miles on a single charge, but the relatively large Aero B, and also the forthcoming long-wheelbase model of the ID Buzz for the US market, will.
Bear in mind that the asserted coverage number is calculated using the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/ev-range-tests-explained-comparison-between-epa-ratings-wltp-nedc-and-cltc/">WLTP test cycle</a>, so the figure provided by the EPA will almost certainly be lower in the United States. 350 EPA miles appears to be a reasonable estimate.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-9293" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB-1024x655.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="480" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB-300x192.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB-768x492.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB-1536x983.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB-1568x1004.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/VW-MEB.jpg 1795w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The automaker also stated that the getting charged speed of the MEB-powered EV will be increased to more than 200 kW. The speediest charging speed for the MEB platform is presently 125 kW, so VW seeks to double that.
Performance enhancements are also planned, with VW aiming to reduce the sprint time to 100 km/h (62 mph) from its fastest all-wheel-drive MEB EV to less than 5.5 seconds. Currently, the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-5-gtx/">VW ID.5 GTX</a> with 299 horsepower accelerates to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, so we expect the power output to be increased to 350 horsepower for a 0.7-second time reduction.
Volkswagen began development of the MEB platform, one of the first of its kind devoted solely to electric vehicles, in 2015. The first manufacturing vehicle it supported was the Volkswagen ID.3, and it is now used by 9 different models, including those from VW, Skoda, SEAT, and Audi.
