HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Tesla’s Latest Full Self-Driving(FSD) Software Enables Zero Intervention!

Driving a Tesla is really different in so many ways from an ordinary vehicle that it might confuse some newcomers. For instance, there is more than one way to lock/unlock a Tesla. In this article, we&#8217;re going to explain how to lock a Tesla Model Y/3 as plainly as possible.
To lock your Tesla Model Y/3, you must either use your key car/fob or your phone as a key. If you have been using your smartphone as a key, you need to turn on the &#8216;Walk-Away Door Lock&#8217; feature to automatically lock your vehicle when you walk away. If you prefer using the key card to lock/unlock your Model Y/3, just position the card below the Autopilot camera on the driver&#8217;s side door pillar. When your vehicle detects the card, you will hear the horn sound and see the exterior lights flash.
Most Model Y/3 drivers are using their phones as a key. To automatically lock your car when you walk away carrying your phone, follow these steps:
-Touch the ‘Controls‘ button on the bottom left corner of the main screen.
&#8211; Navigate to the &#8216;Locks&#8216; menu, then turn on the &#8216;Walk-Away Door Lock&#8216; option
Your Model Y/3 will detect your phone via Bluetooth. If your car doesn&#8217;t automatically lock, you either didn&#8217;t close a door or trunk properly or forgot to turn on your smartphone&#8217;s Bluetooth feature. It might also be caused by the driver not using the driver&#8217;s door to get out of the car.

How to Lock A Tesla Model Y/3? | Locking & Unlocking Tesla

Tesla has made a fresh announcement on the construction of a Megafactory in Shanghai, China, to produce energy storage commodities for the market.
The company revealed its Master Plan 3 at Investor Day, which included the expansion of energy storage battery capacity globally as one of its main elements. The company already operates a Megafactory that creates Megapacks. It is in the United States. The manufacturer, however, continues to advance since it is obvious that this will not be enough to fulfill the demand, which is clearly still increasing quickly.
Megapacks, a large battery system utilized in extensive energy storage projects for electric utilities throughout the globe, are the exclusive focus of the plant&#8217;s operations. It is boosting Gigafactory Nevada&#8216;s output and increasing capacity by up to 40 GWh yearly, which is more than all stationary energy storage combined in the world.
Despite the increased production capacity, Tesla still has a backlog of orders for Megapack that dates back approximately two years. This is because the product has become the standard for electric utilities looking to implement energy storage on a massive scale to stabilize their grid or better use renewable energy sources, such as solar power.
With the announcement of a new Megafactory in China, Tesla is now increasing capacity even further:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

The project is a precise copy of the 10,000 Megapacks per year, or 40 GWh, Megafactory in California. As it did in Lathrop, Tesla also intends to build the plant at a breakneck rate, with work set to begin on it in the upcoming quarter and the commencement of production anticipated in Q2 2024.
The company has said it intends to export the Megapacks made in China worldwide. Thanks to this, Tesla will be able to establish manufacturing centers for essential energy products on both sides of the globe.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is reportedly in China this weekend to finalize the agreement and meet with government representatives. According to speculations, Tesla is also trying to negotiate a contract to put its Full Self-Driving Beta on the market.

Tesla Reveals The Arrival Of A New Megafactory in China

Tesla does not currently have a &#8220;Model 2&#8221; on its list of planned vehicles. But the carmaker has hinted at the existence of a more affordable, more compact model on several occasions.
It appears as though a forthcoming, &#8220;cheaper&#8221; Tesla model is all anybody can speak about. It is debatable if the US electric car manufacturer needs to build more inexpensive EVs in order to effectively advance its aim. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has stated as much. Despite the fact that it seemed like the manufacturer was truly contemplating releasing it shortly, following all the enthusiasm, those plans appeared to shift quite rapidly.
There have been rumors that Tesla is planning a tiny sedan or hatchback for $25,000. Although the rumors weren&#8217;t entirely verified, Musk and Tesla executives acknowledged the necessity for a less expensive model. Soon after, Tesla will create the forthcoming model in China for growing global demand.
According to Tesla&#8217;s recent announcement, there is a chance that we will see the vehicle architecture of this cheaper Tesla next March. Texas-based EV maker will share more details regarding its generation three platform at Investor Day on March 3. Tesla is long due for a new vehicle platform. This might be the platform that the $25,000 Model 2 would be based.
<h2>Tesla Cybertruck Can be Taken As a Model</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5639" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1024x648.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="475" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-300x190.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-768x486.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1536x972.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-2048x1297.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1568x993.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Unlike traditional automobile manufacturers, Tesla, which produces its own seats, strives to optimize the interior cabling design and tries to produce the vehicle chassis by dividing it into the least possible number of parts. Tesla also reduces the weight by making the battery pack a part of the vehicle chassis. It has always continued its innovations in production until today. This time, Tesla will bring all his experience together on the third-generation platform.
Tesla designed an unpainted vehicle with no body-chassis separation without the need for a paint shop investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It integrated the largest aluminum casting machines used in the automotive industry into Cybertruck production. It is estimated that the new platform, like <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/tesla-cybertruck-single-motor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cybertruck</a>, has been developed to break away from traditional automobile production habits. Tesla&#8217;s ultimate aim is to reduce the cost in terms of both materials and labor.
<h2>Cheap Model 2 Expectation May Extend to 2025</h2>
Even if most rumors regarding Tesla&#8217;s smaller, less expensive future car still carry a $25,000 price tag, it&#8217;s difficult to predict what the beginning price will truly be in the middle to late 2025. The Tesla Cybertruck will not be available at the pricing mentioned during its public introduction. Tesla&#8217;s objective would be to undercut or equal appealing competitors. Another objective is to make sure that the next less expensive model would be qualified for the full tax credit.
According to the Loup Ventures study, Tesla China might already be working on the more cheap Tesla model. The Cybertruck, Full Self-Driving Beta version 11, a new North American plant, scaling up Tesla Semi production, a concentration on 4680 battery manufacturing, a revised Model 3, and now perhaps a less expensive Model Y, it appears Tesla may have plenty on its plate for many months to come.

Tesla May Introduce the $25,000 Model 2 in 2024

China is the world leader in electric vehicle mass production, but few of those vehicles make it to the United States, owing to a 25% import duty. Presently, Chinese media sources are reporting that Nio, one of the largest of the new crop of Chinese electric automotive manufacturers, is considering locating a production plant in the United States. It would be one way to avoid some or all of those import tariffs.
Nio has declined to confirm or deny the reports. But some EV news outlets have compiled severe pieces of evidence pointing in that direction. According to Yicai, a local news source, Nio is looking to hire for leadership roles such as overseas manufacturing planning specialists and body process specialists for overseas projects. It also hires international planning and infrastructure specialists, as well as international logistics project managers.
<h2>Qualified Specialists Needed For US Operations</h2>
Candidates for planning specialists must have been in charge of two or more complete strategic planning projects, with at least one in the United States, according to the scope of work. Nominees for this position must also be able to fully comprehend US regulations, design codes, and planning submission processes, as well as workflow planning and master plan principles in the United States.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-11584 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NIO-US-Manufacturing-California-1024x512.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="375" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NIO-US-Manufacturing-California-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NIO-US-Manufacturing-California-300x150.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NIO-US-Manufacturing-California-768x384.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NIO-US-Manufacturing-California.jpg 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
NIO’s US Headquarters in California
Nio as of now has self-driving research and development center and a software development team in San Jose, California. In addition, the company is seeking planning and infrastructure experts in San Jose. Expertise in regulatory systems in the industrial real estate industry is required for those roles.
According to a source, job requirements for the offshore logistics project manager and foreign project body process specialist indicate that a US factory could operate in Completely Knocked Down(CKD) or Semi Knocked Down(SKD) mode, with machine parts imported from China and assembled in the US.
<h2>Market Growth Planning In 25 Countries</h2>
Li stated that the company’s objective is to sell its products throughout 25 countries and territories worldwide by 2025, without explicitly stating which countries and regions will be included. According to media initial reports, the market growth plan also included the US, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
If Nio enters the US market, it may put a lot of pressure on American car manufacturers. Notably, if it offers vehicles that are less expensive than domestic models. That was how Japanese brands got their start in the US, and South Korean cars got on board. The price will be crucial. Nio could provide the affordably priced EVs that Tesla, Ford, GM, and Stellantis do not. It would be a huge help to customers who would like to drive EVs. But find today&#8217;s offerings to be too costly for their budgets.

Volvo

Volvo announced plans to roll out an autonomous driving service called Ride Pilot to customers in California, United States. The autopilot feature will make its debut in a fully electric SUV which will replace the brand&#8217;s large SUV XC90. It is expected to go sale before the year ends.
Ride Pilot feature is developed by Volvo engineers in collaboration with the self-driving software developer <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.zenseact.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zenseact</a> and the LiDAR technology company Luminar. Volvo will offer this promising feature as a subscription for its customers in California sometime this year.
The autonomous tech that will be offered by the Swedish automaker will meet the requirements of industry standards for level 3 autonomous driving. The drivers who use the service won&#8217;t need to keep their hands on the steering wheel or keep their eyes on the road, confirmed by Volvo&#8217;s Chief Technology Officer Henrik Green on Wednesday at the CES 2022.
<h2>Electric XC90 coming with Ride Pilot autonomous driving</h2>
Volvo&#8217;s upcoming electric SUV that features Ride Pilot will have a sensor suite of Luminar&#8217;s Iris LiDAR solution, eight cameras, 16 ultrasonic sensors, and five radars. That vehicle is going to replace the existing ICE model called Volvo XC90. It will be a full-size SUV, unlike smaller all-electric Volvos such as <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/volvo-xc40-recharge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XC40 Recharge</a>, and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/volvo-c40-recharge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C40 Recharge</a>. 
The autonomous driving service will be offered as a subscription for the yet-to-be-named electric XC90. Customers will pay monthly or annually for the autopilot feature. Volvo probably won&#8217;t offer a lump sum payment for the Ride Pilot, unlike Tesla&#8217;s $10,000 FSD (Full Self Driving) package.

Volvo set to start selling its first autonomous vehicle this year

Electric vehicles are the future of the automotive world, and one of the most frequently asked questions in this new era is &#8220;What is the range of a certain EV?&#8221;. Customers looking for an EV to buy usually ask about the vehicle&#8217;s range figures first. But answering this question is not so simple because there are different test cycle standards used for calculating an electric vehicle&#8217;s range.
There are four common range tests that have been in use all over the world. These are EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) ratings, WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure), NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), and CLTC (China Light Duty Vehicle Test Cycle). Some range tests are more generous than the others, NEDC and CLTC are usually the most generous of them all. EPA ratings are generally the most accurate range information you can find on the internet, because of the EPA&#8217;s realistic test cycles that better simulate real-world usage of an EV. WLTP is used by European automakers and is 80-90% accurate when compared with real road tests. To sum up, EPA and WLTP range tests are very close to real-world range figures you can get from your electric vehicles, whereas NEDC and the new Chinese test cycle called CLTC are typically overstated the amount of range drivers can see in real-world use, resulting from the misinformation of the EV customers.
To better understand the difference between EPA, WLTP, NEDC, and CLTC range tests, you should read further.
<h2>What is the EPA Range Test?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7347 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/epa-ev-range-test-2021-1024x468.png" alt="" width="750" height="343" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/epa-ev-range-test-2021-1024x468.png 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/epa-ev-range-test-2021-300x137.png 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/epa-ev-range-test-2021-768x351.png 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/epa-ev-range-test-2021.png 1214w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The EPA range test for electric vehicles is called Multi-Cycle City/Highway Test Procedure. The agency tests EVs on dynamometers and puts them through different test cycles. The testing procedure starts with charging the car and leaving it parked overnight. The next morning, EPA puts the vehicle on a dyno and starts the range estimation process.
The electric vehicle is put through multiple urban and highway driving cycles until the battery is out of charge and the car is no longer be able to run. After completing the test cycle, the EPA then multiplies the preliminary range numbers by 0.7 to provide a final rating for the EV they tested. That is how EPA rates EVs for fuel economy and mileage/or MPGe.
<h2>What is WLTP?</h2>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X61Is7YYgbw" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">﻿</iframe> 
After Volkswagen&#8217;s Dieselgate scandal in 2015, European Union decided to introduce a new test procedure for vehicles, namely the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure). The predecessor of the WLTP, which is called NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), was developed in the &#8217;70s and is already outdated by other standards. The NEDC&#8217;s consumption and range measurements are not very close to real-traffic test results, as well.
WLTP, however, corresponds better to real traffic, it records about 20% higher consumption and EV range figures than the NEDC. The reason for this big gap between WLTP and NEDC is that the WLTP test conditions are way more realistic. WLTP uses longer driving cycles, takes into account real-world factors (air conditioning, electronics inside the car, etc.), and measures consumption figures from a broader speed range (29-82 mph).
There are also some problems with the WLTP test cycle, such as tightly controlled testing temperature. Electric vehicles tend to lose some of their range in cold weather conditions, resulting in range figures significantly lower than WLTP estimates. This can be fixed by including a cold-weather driving cycle in WLTP testing procedures. 
<h2>What is CLTC?</h2>
In the EV world, Chinese automakers are the only ones that use NEDC to test their electric vehicles&#8217; range, Americans use EPA ratings, European and Japanese manufacturers all depend on WLTP standard. But China has been gradually implementing a new fuel economy/EV range test procedure in its domestic market, namely the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle). This new standard promised to be more accurate than the old NEDC.
The new CLTC standard includes three test phases (slow, medium, fast driving). The testing process lasts 30 minutes, and the car travels about 14.5 kilometers in total. CLTC can be considered the WLTP equivalent of the Chinese automakers. There are some significant differences between WLTP and CLTC, as well. One of which is the idling duration of the car while testing the consumption; it is two times longer in the CLTC tests than the NEDC. The CLTC test cycle also includes more stops than the WLTP cycle, and the CLTC testing speed limit (114 km/h) is lower than both NEDC and WLTP.
<h3>EPA vs WLTP Range</h3>
The EPA ratings of electric vehicles are the most accurate, according to the real-world test results. The EPA range estimates are approximately 11 percent lower than the WLTP range figures. For example, an electric vehicle with 100 miles (or 100 kilometers) of WLTP range is probably going to get an EPA range estimate of around 89 miles (or 89 kilometers), 11 percent less range than the WLTP standard.
Besides EPA offering the most realistic results, WLTP is the second most trustworthy standard for determining the real range of an electric vehicle. If you want to learn the real range of your future EV, look for EPA and WLTP figures. NEDC and CLTC ranges are not very close to real-world data, as the actual driving tests showed.
<h3>CLTC vs WLTP</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7345 size-full" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/cltc-figures-compared-to-wltp-nedc.jpg" alt="" width="889" height="482" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/cltc-figures-compared-to-wltp-nedc.jpg 889w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/cltc-figures-compared-to-wltp-nedc-300x163.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/cltc-figures-compared-to-wltp-nedc-768x416.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px" />
According to the Chinese sources, CLTC estimates are mostly higher than both WLTP and NEDC range figures. For example, an electric vehicle that has a 398km WLTP and a 484 km NEDC range estimate scored more range (509 km) when CLTC testing procedures were followed. The reason for this is that the Chinese authorities wanted to create a new testing standard that takes into account Chinese roads, traffic conditions, and Chinese driver habits. As a result, we have a more optimistic EV range test standard on our hands. 
WLTP is way more accurate than CLTC, as the data shows. The new EV range standard that replaced NEDC in China is clearly more optimistic than the other standards. Overall, CLTC range figures tend to be 15 to 25 percent higher than WLTP. Most of the Chinese EV makers already started using CLTC to show range data. Even Tesla updated its range figures accordingly.
The CLTC is in its early stage to become the only range estimation standard in China, the world&#8217;s largest EV market. That means overstated EV range figures will still be a headache for us. But it is the only range standard that prioritizes Chinese driving habits and China&#8217;s road conditions. So, from now on keep in mind that CLTC is actually a very accurate range test, but only in China. You better find yourself another range estimate, if you&#8217;re not living in there.
