Tesla will show third-party charging points in navigation

The American manufacturer has just announced that, from now on, third-party fast charging points will also appear in the navigation system of their vehicles, as long as they meet a series of conditions. The company has also communicated that this new policy will begin to be applied first in Europe and Israel, to later be extended to other regions.

«Fast charging points that meet our performance and reliability standards will automatically appear in the navigation system of our vehicles, showing up as Qualified Third Party Charging Points. We intend to provide the most satisfactory charging experience possible for our customers.”

What requirements will a third-party fast charging point have to meet to appear in Tesla’s navigation system?

The company explains that for a fast charging point to be displayed in the navigation system of its vehicles in Europe, it is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition that it has a CCS Combo connector. Something that, today, the vast majority of them should comply with if we take into account that CCS is practically a standard in the European market.

Additionally, Tesla will assess whether it is a reliable and frequently used fast charging point for the owners of one of its vehicles. The criteria to follow, they explain the company, will be that the percentage of success when starting a recharge is at least 90 percent. This eliminates unreliable charging points that only add to the frustration of EV drivers.

Finally, Tesla will also assess the use made by drivers of any of its vehicles of third-party fast charging points, including in its navigation system only those that have been used at least once every four days during the last sixty days.

The inclusion of a third-party fast charging point in Tesla’s vehicle navigation system will also not be permanent. The company will eliminate all those in which no vehicle of the brand has carried out at least one recharge in the last 14 days, as well as those whose success rate is reduced by starting a recharge below 70 percent.

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
