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.

Volkswagen Unveils Electric Station Wagon ID.7 Tourer with a Range of 685 KM!

⚡Volkswagen announced that it has stopped electric vehicle production in two factories!
🛑 Two Volkswagen factories in Germany have halted production due to a shortage of electric motor supply. Production of the ID.4, ID.5, electric sedan ID.7 and Audi Q4 e-tron models will be severely affected.
The first decision to stop production due to the supply of the electric motor codenamed 🔋APP550 came from the Zwickau plant. After the plant, which will remain closed for three weeks, it has now been announced that the Emden plant will stop production for at least five days.
📊With new electric vehicle orders falling by 50% year-on-year to 150 thousand in the third quarter of 2023, Volkswagen may have taken into account the current order load while deciding to stop production at the factories.
💰The German giant, which managed to increase its sales figures, albeit modestly, after big discounts in China, is experiencing a serious demand problem in Europe, its largest market in electric vehicle sales with 61%.
While strong competitors such as Renault and Stellantis are preparing to launch electric vehicles in the 25 thousand euro price range, it should not be surprising that Volkswagen cannot attract enough customers with the ID.7 priced at 55 thousand euros.

Volkswagen Stops Electric Vehicle Production At Two Factories

New footage of the Volkswagen ID.7 electric wagon model has been revealed.
The Passat, which for many years was the most popular vehicle sold in Turkey, is no longer available. In January at the start of this year, the Volkswagen ID.7, a replacement for the sedan car that gave way to an all-electric variant, was revealed.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-38616 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/VW_elektrikli-wagon-1024x572.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="419" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/VW_elektrikli-wagon-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/VW_elektrikli-wagon-300x168.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/VW_elektrikli-wagon-768x429.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/VW_elektrikli-wagon.jpg 1276w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The news and images of the ID.7 electric wagon model of the German giant Volkswagen were eagerly awaited. Although the manufacturer tried to hide the photos of the model with various methods, the images managed to spread rapidly in the media this week.
The front and rear parts of the wagon model seem to be highly similar to the sedan model. It is among the remarkable points that the changes are in the roof of the vehicle and in some parts of the rear trunk lid.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-38614 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/vw-wagon-foto-2.jpg" alt="" width="1023" height="568" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/vw-wagon-foto-2.jpg 1023w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/vw-wagon-foto-2-300x167.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/vw-wagon-foto-2-768x426.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px" />
Although the wagon model has a longer roof than its counterpart sedan, it is expected to have a similar powertrain and interior design in the single-engine with 282 horsepower. Volkswagen offers the ID.7 sedan with 77 and 89 kW battery packs and a range of 430 miles/692 kilometers.
As it is understood from the leaked photos, the vehicle seems ready for sale. However the company has not yet made an official statement on the subject. It seems likely that the model will go on sale early next year.

Volkswagen ID.7 Variant Revealed

Passat, which has been at the top of the best-selling cars lists for many years will no longer be produced. The vehicle&#8217;s sedan counterpart, known to be replaced by an all-electric model, was officially introduced: Volkswagen ID.7.
The sedan named ID 7 was actually introduced under the name of ID Aero last year. This time, it appeared before those waiting for the vehicle with its design ready for mass production. It is certain that the illuminated camouflage on the electric vehicle, which was showcased at CES 2023 held in Las Vegas, USA, will attract intense attention from the visitors.

Announcing in a press release that the electric Passat will offer a range of 700 kilometers. It will come with a giant 15-inch infotainment system screen. The German automotive giant also states that the cabin can be heated and cooled much faster. It is expected to achieve this with the help of a heat pump, which will probably also do the thermal management of the battery. Because in the previous electric vehicles of Volkswagen such as ID.4, due to the lack of a heat pump, it took a long time to heat the cabin with old-generation PTC heaters in cold weather. The range loss was up to 30% because the battery could not reach optimum conditions.

The electric sedan will meet us with the usual taillight design at the rear. But it will have more dynamic-looking headlights at the front. The aerodynamic structure of the vehicle, whose door handles are hidden to reduce friction, will play the biggest role in the 700-kilometer range.
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars Division, announced that the electric Passat, ID.7, will be introduced in April 2023. The vehicle go on sale in the second half of 2023. Announcing that it will manufacture at the Emden factory in Germany for the European and Turkish markets.

This electric sedan is the most efficient of its kind, thanks to Tesla&#8217;s state-of-the-art heat pump used for thermal management of the battery pack, and highly-efficient custom design electric motors. Model 3 will increase its efficiency when Tesla update its battery with the new energy-dense 4680 cell and swap the old pack design with much lighter <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/what-is-structural-battery-ctc-ctb-ev-battery-packs-explained">structural battery pack</a>.
Tesla Model 3 RWD is currently priced at $43,990 in the United States.

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

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 loading="lazy" decoding="async" 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.

Fully-electric Skoda Octavia is officially in development

Passat, one of the most popular models of the German automaker Volkswagen, also has very good sales figures worldwide. The sedan model, which has sold more than 30 million units worldwide and is available in nearly 100 markets, is now replaced by Volkswagen ID. Aero.
Volkswagen, which has ended the production and sales of the Passat sedan in Europe, plans to fill the place vacated by the Passat at the Emden factory with the electric crossover ID4 and the electric sedan Aero.

<h2>Introducing Volkswagen ID. Aero</h2>
Volkswagen ID, whose drawings were shared recently. The Aero concept was officially introduced. The point in question was showcased as a preview of the electric sedan model. It will be released by the German manufacturer. It is close to production.
According to WLTP, not many details have been announced about the new car. It is also expected to provide a driving range of up to 385 miles/620 kilometers.
Volkswagen ID. Aero&#8217;s LED headlights, light strips extending to the logo, and honeycomb-patterned taillights are among the first striking details in its design standing out with its coupe-style silhouette.
When we look at the Aero from the side, besides the strong shoulder line, the glossy black roof and side mirror caps that harmonize with the pillars draw attention. But it is worth noting that the most striking point here is the door handles. Because Volkswagen preferred to use illuminated touch surfaces instead of ordinary door handles in the concept.
The production version of the ID. Aero will be sold first in China in the second  quarter of 2023. Subsequent cars will also come to the European and North American markets.

Volkswagen Introduces The New Sedan ID.Aero

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.

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;

Electrification is the best thing that ever happened to cars. The new era allows automakers to build more reliable, efficient vehicles, thanks to ditching so many components, such as huge gearboxes with dozens of moving parts. There are only a few moving parts left in a modern electric car. But there is also a very big battery pack, which is prone to degradation over time which could result in an EV losing its ability to hold energy.
Since the battery pack is the most expensive part of an electric vehicle, battery lifetime is a very important parameter for customers who are looking to buy an EV. In this article, we would like to answer some frequently asked questions regarding EV batteries, electric car battery lifetime, battery replacement costs, and repairability.
<h2>How Long Does An Electric Car Battery Last?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7091" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1024x576.jpg" alt="How long Electric Car Batteries Last" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Lithium-ion batteries tend to lose their energy capacity over time. That is mostly due to extended usage. According to a study published by Cox Automotive, average car buyers assume that an electric vehicle battery only lasts around 100,000 kilometers (65,000 miles). Although electric car batteries are prone to losing their charge capacity, like every other energy storage solution, these batteries use state-of-the-art anode/cathode chemistries that allow them to last at least 10 years, sometimes even up to 20 years. Customers shouldn&#8217;t worry about wearing their battery any time soon.
Batteries will eventually start to degrade and lose charging capacity over time. The average loss of battery capacity is around 1.5 to 2.5 percent per year. According to Plug In America, the luxury sedan Tesla Model S’s battery only loses 5 percent of its original battery capacity over the first 80,000 km (50,000 miles).
Most manufacturers, including Nissan, Tesla, and Toyota, offer an eight-year (or 160,000 km/100,000 miles) warranty on their electric car batteries. Some automakers, such as Hyundai, provide lifetime coverage for their EV batteries. BMW, Chevrolet, Tesla, Volkswagen, and Nissan will also cover a battery pack replacement if its capacity drops to a certain percentage (70% in most cases). If the car has less than 70% of its original capacity before the end of the eighth year, the warranty will cover all battery replacement costs.
<h3>Electric Car Battery vs Smartphone Battery</h3>
Smartphones have no thermal management for the battery, and fast charging will result in a hot battery. In hot temperatures, battery reactions will speed up and degrade the battery quicker. That’s why smartphone batteries rarely last more than two years.
Electric cars, on the other hand, have advanced thermal management systems, which help the battery pack to optimize its efficiency and eliminate harmful effects of cold/hot temperatures caused by weather, heavy usage/lack of usage, etc.

According to <a href="https://about.bnef.com/blog/battery-pack-prices-fall-to-an-average-of-132-kwh-but-rising-commodity-prices-start-to-bite/">Bloomberg NEF</a>, the average price of lithium-ion batteries dropped from $1,160 per kWh in 2010 to $132 in 2021. Thanks to lower prices, electric car battery replacement costs are also dropping sharply. In order to decrease battery repair bills, automakers are also adopting the remanufactured battery pack strategy, similar to Tesla&#8217;s lower-cost replacement packs with refurbished battery modules.
There is sufficient data on the internet that tells us how much does a Tesla battery cost. According to <a href="https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/tesla-battery-replacement-cost-explained/">FindmyElectric.com</a>, Tesla Model S full battery replacement should cost between $13,000 to $20,000. A full battery replacement of the premium electric SUV Model X would be around $14,000-$21,000. Tesla&#8217;s mid-size EVs, namely Model 3 and Model Y, are cheaper to repair. The battery pack replacement of these models costs $11,000-$16,000 including labor, miscellaneous parts. The exact replacement cost varies depending on the condition of the battery pack.
Not all EV manufacturers use remanufactured packs to make battery replacement more affordable. Ford, for example, asks more than $43,000 for a brand-new Mustang Mach-E battery pack in Canada. But Ford dealers in the US will charge you around $18,000 to $24,000 for a Mach-E replacement.
<h3>Does Electric Car Battery Disposal Cause Pollution?</h3>
Electric vehicles technically don’t produce any exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide (CO) and NOx. These types of vehicles are definitely cleaner than ICE vehicles. But that doesn’t mean EVs don’t have any carbon footprint. Electric cars use electricity to charge up and a high portion of the electricity generation causes heavy pollution.
EVs are also indirectly polluting the environment with their battery packs. The production and disposal of lithium-ion batteries definitely cause pollution. Of course, batteries and electric vehicles are getting cleaner every day, thanks to stricter rules implemented by governments that encourage manufacturers to act more environment-friendly, and promising developments in the lithium-ion battery recycling industry.
When electric car batteries reach the end of their life, they can be recycled for valuable materials including lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, and graphite, which means electric car battery disposal can decrease EV&#8217;s carbon footprint.
Tesla already recycles batteries from its vehicles. Volkswagen’s pilot recycling plant for used EV batteries has also begun operations. Elon Musk expects the auto industry to have enough battery materials inside the existing EV fleet in the next 30-40 years, eliminating the need for mining new materials. The first European lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer Northvolt produced its first cell made “100 percent from recycled nickel, manganese, and cobalt”. But approximately half of the materials in an EV battery pack are recycled. There is still a very long way to go in the battery recycling business.

<h3>Is It Possible to Repair/Recondition An Electric Car Battery?</h3>
When auto services accept an electric car with the inspection of battery failure, first they run a routine diagnosis and determine how much of the original energy storage capacity the battery can still provide. If there are broken battery modules, and the total capacity degraded to a level lower than 70 percent, the electric car battery will most likely be replaced with a new unit.
The electric car services usually don&#8217;t just swap bad modules for good ones, instead, they replace the entire battery with a brand new or remanufactured one. After a new battery pack is installed, the broken/old one is sent back to factories where broken modules will be replaced with good ones, and any other battery pack problems are solved.
Tesla has been using a similar approach to fix battery packs. Ideally for Tesla, all replacement batteries are remanufactured.
