Some experts deserve to convince automakers to produce a reasonable and cheerful electric vehicle, call it a windowed golf cart, to bring electrical acceptance to life.2025 will be competitive in terms of value and diversity, and why not charge gas “diversity extenders” to electric cars now with poor long-term performance.
Meanwhile, brands are going the wrong way, seeking to reflect all the attributes of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine.This works well at the most expensive end of the market, as the top charge of the batteries can be easily absorbed.But “cheaper” electric cars – and in Europe we are talking about average charges of around $40,000 after tax – buyers will realize that they have purchased a rural and urban car, but the battery cannot provide adequate long distance functionality on the upper track.
This means that long trips that would take, for example, five hours in an ICE vehicle, would take twice as long in a “cheaper” electric car that can travel only 80 to 100 miles at maximum speed before it runs out.time to recharge up to 80% of the capacity, assuming charger availability, charger capacity or customer payment support.An ICE or SUV car would only want a 10-minute prevention to refuel, if that’s the case.
Why don’t automakers settle for the truth that, even at a price close to $40,000, they can only produce an urban car efficiently?Why not concentrate alone on a limited range, say 40 miles, with a more responsive speed of 40 mph, which would be smart for short-distance travel, running to school and shopping.This can charge around $6000 and be a golf car with steroids.
This would be a great seasoning for the use of electric cars at this price, and in Europe, where until 2030 it will be, according to Volkswagen, to produce a small and affordable ICE car due to European Union (EU) regulations, car buyers.you can simply adopt this, as the choice would be the bus, even if the selection looks like the Citroen Friend 1.
Professor Stefan Bratzel, director of the German Center for Automotive Management, that some of those new and more affordable electric cars cannot compete with ICE’s strength over longer distances, that automakers deserve to be frank about it, and perhaps anything reasonable and cheerful would.do better.
“We don’t have this challenge with Tesla and I haven’t tried ID.3 yet, but it turns out that the less expensive the car is, the more autonomy challenges it has,” Bratzel said.
Designed from the start to be an all-electric car, the Volkswagen ID.3 will be introduced this month in Europe.The ID.3 has a very aerodynamic shape, very important to manage fast cruising speeds economically on the roads.VW announced that an ID.3 had travelled 531 kilometers (330 miles) without getting married on a trip from Germany to Switzerland, but admitted that some of that purpose had been achieved by descending the hills through the freewheel and strongly following the trucks until he was awake.This is not a tactic that attracts normal drivers.
“Manufacturers want to talk more obviously about the limits of those cars and those are the city cars, which is where they will generally be used,” Bratzel said.
What do you think of the Citroen Ami 1 or the “golf cart” option?
“I think that’s the answer. This would be appropriate for maximum consumers who only want long distances once a month,” Bratzel said.
This would mean a continuous role for ICE cars, which will attract the green lobby.
I recently tested new and less expensive electric cars such as the Hyundai Ioniq, Honda e, SEAT (VW subsidiary) Mii e and Vauxhall Corsa-E.The Vauxhall is a component of the PSA Group’s electric car attack that includes similar versions such as the Peugeot 208th and Opel Corsa-E.The Corsa-E was rated at a 209-mile diversity through official EU figures, called WLTP.But he never charged me more than 170 miles. For the city and the countryside, it was very complete and the device to exploit the loose turning force, the so-called regenerative braking, worked well, offering a very loose force.But on the road at a general cruising speed of approximately 75 mph, he nibbling miles from the aircraft, which showed a diversity availability of just over twice the actual kilometers reached, with a diversity on the road of more than 85 miles.
The PSA Group recognizes that corsa diversity is reduced by one hundred to 109 miles through fast driving in road WLTP figures, so it is more likely to suggest around 80 miles in the genuine world.
These WLTP figures use more complete knowledge compared to their predecessor NEDC, to provide data that allows buyers to compare diversity between manufacturers.Possibly it would be good to do that, however, in my experience, all this knowledge has one thing in common; none of this applies to real-world driving and seriously overestimates the ability to self-reliance.
Viktor Irle, from Stockholm, Sweden, an analyst and consultant on electric vehicle volume, that today’s smallest electric cars fall into the race for autonomy, but said this was due to the fact that progression had just begun.If, like ID.3, they are designed from the beginning to be electric and with a very important aerodynamic capacity, they will be more than competitive with ICE cars.
Professor Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer of the German Center for Automotive Research agrees, saying that the Corsa and cars were designed as ICE cars and passed on to electric power.
“The Corsa is the best. There’s room for improvement. This is the first generation of the PSA Group,” Dudenhoeffer said.
Irle of EV-volume does not have time for the electric golf cart option and suggests that automakers use diversity extenders, small ICE engines that can be used to recharge the battery, as a way to solve the road autonomy problem.hybrids, which have a battery life of up to 35 to 40 miles, as the only component of the transition to all-electric vehicles.
“The good luck of battery generation is moving towards the compact car segment with ID.3 and is evolving at an immediate pace.In five years, say, battery prices can be reduced to the point where it will allow small cars to be competitive multi-purpose vehicles,” Irle said.
Felipe Muñoz, a global automotive analyst at JATO Dynamics, said those smaller electric cars like the Corsa-E are a step in the progression of electric cars, and that ICE cars still have great merit for driving over long distances and that time the “golf cart” can be of medium-term help.
“In my opinion, automakers focus on getting better gasoline vehicles, making them cleaner and more efficient, while working with responses like hybrids.All the time you have autonomy problems with some electric cars, hybrids are the most productive way, maybe not in five years, but now,” Muñoz said.
Some European governments are reluctant to offer large subsidies for plug-in hybrid cars, fearing that some owners, especially corporate car drivers who do not pay for fuel, will never be interested in the electricity option.They will only use ICE, which alone produces poor fuel economy.
The general public will reject those newer, purely electric and less expensive cars when we are informed that they are not up to par.
“If you can’t drive smoothly from one city to another, that’s not good.The most productive solution for an effective car is a hybrid car,” Muñoz said.
