Tesla accelerates the installation of Superchargers in Europe

Tesla ‘s plans for its Supercharger network are in the medium and long term due to its opening to all brands. That is the objective to monetize a gigantic investment that has become one more arm of future sources of income. But so that this does not become a short-term problem of saturation of the stations, the American manufacturer is accelerating the expansion of the current network.

An example of this important effort is the milestone achieved yesterday when in France alone Tesla launched no less than 100 new points spread over five stations.

A record that allows the brand to continue expanding its network just before the start of an exit operation that seems to also be a record this summer in Europe.

Also, these 100 points are all V3 chargers. Something that supposes points of 250 kW that do not have to divide their power when another car connects to the nearest outlet. A way to speed up the rotation of vehicles and serve as many as possible.

The V3 Superchargers, as we remember, allow a higher charge rate to be achieved than their predecessor thanks to a new liquid-cooled charging cable. Said cable is lighter, more flexible, and more efficient than the air-cooled cables that we could find in the V2 Superchargers.

Tesla estimates that the Model 3 Long Range can recover about 120 km of autonomy in just 5 minutes thanks to one of these shots, or reach 80% in just 20 minutes

An expansion of the network that is allowing not only to carry cargo to all corners of France but also with increasingly larger stations. For example, the latest inaugurated or expanded have between 16 points the smallest, up to 28 points the largest.

An exponential growth should allow Tesla to become one of the main players in the recharging sector, which allows it to diversify its income and reduce the risk in case car sales drop for some reason.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
