California will ban the sale of gasoline and diesel cars in 2035

Norway in 2025, the United Kingdom in 2030, the entire European Union in 2035… More and more governments are putting a date on the ban on the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines. The latest region to join has been California, which in 2035 will become the first state in the United States to carry out this movement.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) yesterday voted on the Advanced Clean Cars II regulation, through which the planned ban on non-plug-in car sales will be articulated. It is expected that the example of California will be followed later by other states in the country.

California’s plan will be implemented in phases. Thus, in 2026, 35% of cars sold in the State will be required to be plug-in, a percentage that will increase to 68% in 2030, reaching 100% in 2035. In the case of heavy trucks, the deadline will be 2045. Manufacturers that fail to meet the targets will face fines of up to $20,000 per unit. By 2040, authorities estimate that California will have cut its greenhouse gases by 50%.

It should be noted that California will continue to allow plug-in hybrids to be sold in 2035, although they may not account for more than 20% of the volume of each manufacturer. Therefore, in practice it will still be possible to market some models with an internal combustion engine; however, PHEVs will be subject to stricter regulations, including a minimum electric range of 80 km (in pure electric cars it will be 240 km).

California to make it mandatory to offer battery status metrics in second-hand electric cars

Advanced Clean Cars II will also include incentives and targets to stimulate sales of new and used electric cars. Thus, vehicles of this type will have to come with a charging cable by law; In addition, manufacturers will have to offer standardized adapters for public charging stations.

When selling a second-hand electric car, a series of battery condition metrics should be made available to the buyer. Vehicles must retain 70% of their original autonomy for 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), a percentage that will increase to 80% from the year 2030.

The battery warranty must cover 70% of its original capacity for 8 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km), increasing to 75% from 2031. On the other hand, it will be required that the information necessary to repair electric vehicles be reached out to independent garages, something essential as zero-emission mobility becomes more popular.

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
