Fisker is set to increase its value as a brand. The first movement executed for this achievement has been the start of production of the Fisker Ocean, its fully electric SUV model, last November. On the other hand, its most affordable electric vehicle, the Fisker PEAR, continues with its development and fine-tuning. Now, the brand has released some  new images of what they hope will be their best-selling model . A series of images of the Fisker PEAR has been published showing, more or less, its characteristic design, of which  Henrik Fisker,  CEO of the company, affirms that it will be unique and with elements never seen before in a car. electric of this size.

Xiaomi seeks to change everything again thanks to its new electric scooter that  culminates the model range at the top . In the run-up to the Mobile World Congress, the Chinese firm wanted to show its technical capabilities for the market for these urban vehicles and it has done so with an Ultra variant that is positioned above the hitherto known Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro. As the first differential appendage: its aesthetics. The Scooter 4 Ultra incorporates a  double suspension scheme , in which the design of its front wheel stands out particularly. With this, Xiaomi incorporates into its range one of the most comfortable electric scooters for daily use, since it eliminates a large part of the potholes or roads in poor condition. In addition, the electric model incorporates new  DuraGel tires  made puncture-proof and with specific self-sealing. As was the case on the Pro model, both wheels have a diameter of up to 10 inches, but ground clearance has increased with the addition of

Tesla  has confirmed that the progression in the increase in the rate of manufacturing at its  plant in Germany  is going well, and this week the American manufacturer has managed to reach a rate of 4,000 Model Y units per week. This marks another leap forward for Tesla, which just before last Christmas was achieving rates of 3,000 units per week at its Grünheide facility. Figure that in a few weeks has escalated by a thousand additional units. Until now, Tesla has worked two shifts at its European production facility. Something that should mean that to increase the number of units, they will have to increase from two to three work shifts in  production lines which will go from 9,000 to 12,000 employees. Target 500,000 units per year As we remember, Tesla has proposed to bring the production capacity of the German plant to  500,000 units per year . Both the current Model Y and later also adding Model 3 to its lines. Despite this, the increase in production at the German factory i

Nissan was one of the pioneering brands in the electric car sector more than a decade ago. At a time when virtually no manufacturer was betting on this technology, the Japanese firm revolutionized the market with the launch of the  LEAF , which in 2010 became the first global electric car for the mass market. Although the company dominated this niche for a few years, rivals such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen have ended up ousting it due to its slow and conservative launch strategy, since the LEAF is already a very old product (its technical base is a whopping 13 years old). , being its only noteworthy novelties the expensive SUV  Ariya  and the  kei car  Sakura , sold only in Japan. After the recent restructuring of its alliance with Renault,  as a result of which both companies have gained greater independence , Nissan has decided to accelerate its electrification plans to recover lost ground. This change in strategy will be especially noticeable in Europe, where anti-pollution reg

General Motors does not want to “arrive late to the party” and will launch an electric SUV to compete with the Ford Bronco. The North American conglomerate will put on the market a new electric SUV to rival the current Ford Bronco. This has been confirmed by   Mark Reuss , president of General Motors, in a recent interview with   The Drive . The successful arrival of the Ford Bronco as a “passionate” SUV has made many brands reconsider the launch of models of this cut. Companies like Mercedes-Benz are already aiming to develop an electric car located below the electric G-Class  (future EQG) to face the alternative of the blue oval. General Motors will also join this car, although  taking an important step forward to differentiate itself from its direct competition .  Among its main features will be its mechanics, which  will be 100% electric,  unlike other competitors. The model that Mercedes-Benz will sell will have both electric and hybrid alternatives, and the Ford Bronco , for no

Mercedes-Benz wants to improve its already high profitability and expand its profit margin, which is why taking advantage of its transition to electric mobility, it will completely restructure its offer, which will be divided into three subfamilies: Entry Luxury ,  Core  Luxury , and  Top-End Luxury . Its compact range will be one of the most affected by the new corporate strategy. Currently made up of seven models (Class A, Class A Sedan, CLA, CLA Shooting Brake, Class B, GLA, GLB), in the short term it will be made up of four. Ola Kallenius, CEO of the company, has confirmed during the presentation of the financial results for 2022 that Mercedes-Benz  will continue to bet on compact cars  despite its new approach. “But we will focus on the models that we believe are the most successful globally . At the end of the year, the brand will present a preview of the new compact range, which will be based on the MMA platform. This architecture will allow Mercedes-Benz to offer gasoline, di

Renault has revealed, in the shadows, the profile and a partial image of the rear and the side of the new Espace. The transformation of a family minivan into a seven-seater hybrid SUV that will be presented in spring is completed. The  Renault Espace  was an icon of minivans. Introduced by Renault in 1984, over the years it has gone through several generations and has undergone different updates. From its conception, the French manufacturer was looking for a spacious and versatile vehicle, with the capacity to transport  seven people  comfortably and with  ample cargo space . This has been the case in the five generations presented so far. The last one already showed a tendency towards the SUV format that now, with the sixth one, has finished confirming, taking over the entire design. In January, Renault announced that it would be at the end of the year when the marketing of this sixth generation would start. Now, with the publication of the first images, still incomplete, we know th

The Porsche Macan continues to rack up miles during its development stage. One of the test units has been intercepted while charging its battery. The data that emerges reveals details that are now unknown to us. The project for the new electric Macan is still underway. Although the car should have seen the light of day a few months ago, development delays have forced the date to be postponed repeatedly. This has allowed the testing period to be extended to ensure that the changes are applied correctly. During a test session carried out in the extreme temperatures of northern Europe,  a unit of the electric Porsche Macan has been discovered while charging its battery . Now we know some details that we were unaware of until now and the truth is that the figures are impressive. The new generation of the Macan will change the way we view Porsche. Although the Porsche Taycan has shown those in Stuttgart that electric mobility is not only possible but also profitable, changes will occur th

The American brand of electric SUVs will increase its range of vehicles beyond the current R1T and R1S. Although it will not be as everyone expects, since Rivian will produce its first electric bicycle. This is not the first time that an automobile brand has presented its own electric bicycle, since others have also followed suit, such as Porsche, Citroën, or BMW. The  CEO of Rivian, RJ Scaringe, has been the one who has officially confirmed this movement  for the coming months. The same manager declares himself a fan of cycling and, even more, of electric bicycles, hence his determination and interest in having his electric car company present his model. This news has been confirmed by  Bloomberg , where it is stated that the CEO of Rivian  announced this launch in a meeting held recently with the main managers of the company . Likewise, this is not the first time that this company has shown special interest in the development of an electric bicycle, since a few months ago this idea

BMW will officially launch its first new-generation electric cars (Neue Klasse) in 2025. To speed up its production, it has just allocated 800 million euros to fine-tune its Mexican factory. The Munich firm continues with its plans to launch its new generation of electric cars in the year 2025. These will be based on the new  specific platform that they call ‘Neue Klasse’ . Now, barely two years before said launch, the brand continues to make moves so that everything is ready and, for this reason, they have allocated 800 million euros for the preparation of their Mexican factory in San Luis Potosí. This has not been the first major investment that has been made in this regard. Last October, the German firm already granted a total of  1.7 billion dollars for the expansion of its American factory in Startanburg , where most of the SUV cut models are currently assembled. This investment was carried out with the main idea of ​​increasing the production of electric vehicles there. Of the

Just a few days ago, Mercedes decided to update its large plug-in hybrid SUV in the E segment, the GLE in its SUV and SUV Coupé format. Now, BMW does the same with its models that compete face-to-face with those of the star’s firm:  the BMW X5 and BMW X6 . However, in this facelift, the only vehicle that has obtained a plug-in hybrid variant has been the BMW X5 under the new name  xDrive50e , which has won in all its different specifications. In the first place, it’s an external image. This has been conveniently modified, although  it is not an aesthetic revolution, but rather an evolution  concerning what was previously presented. This is because this renewal is a mid-cycle overhaul (restyling), not a new generation. On its front, the  BMW X5  has  new, more stylized LED headlights  and is in line with the rest of the range of the German manufacturer. These are now 35mm thinner than the previous model. Optionally, you can offer Matrix LED headlights with adaptive control. Its partic

Volvo is currently in full expansion of its range of all-electric models. The firm’s plans specify that it will be a 100% electric brand before the end of this decade. Just a few days ago they confirmed the arrival of six new electric ones before the close of the year 2026. But  what will happen after the year 2026?  The electric models with the lowest commercial margin could arrive, as  high-performance electric vehicle that serves as a sample of technological capacity  for the brand. Although there is no official confirmation in this regard,  Bjorn Annwall himself, Volvo Car’s Director of Operations , confessed in a recent interview conducted by  Car Sales , that they do not close the door on the arrival of a model of this type, which is framed as a pinnacle for the company. The Swedish brand, in general, is not directly associated or linked with sportsmanship in its vehicles, but rather focuses its efforts on practicality, safety, and efficiency. Precisely for this reason, the rea

Peugeot has a large presence of electric models in its launch calendar. The current range will grow with the arrival of the new generation of the Peugeot 508, which will be 100% electric. He will maintain his philosophy, but it will change radically. The segment of general sedans has declined a lot in recent years. The model offer has lost important models such as the Ford Mondeo. Few brands refuse to disappear in a category that years ago turned out to be one of the most important in Europe. Peugeot is one of those companies. The French, with their Peugeot 508, remain firm, although they know that they will have to apply very important changes for the next generation. So much so that  the next Peugeot 508 that we see will be 100% electric, with a brutal performance and a rival that wants to lay its paw on . The  Tesla Model 3  has shown that sedans have not said their last word. With a much more logical bodywork for an electric car, the American model is among the best-selling cars

Alfa Romeo, which aspires to become the global premium brand of the Stellantis group, will be 100% electric in its main markets by 2027. The Italian firm, led by  Jean-Philippe Imparato , has an ambitious roadmap that includes the launch of at least one new electric model per year between now and 2030. “We are going to launch one car a year until 2030. So this year there is the Tonale. In 2024 we will have a launch that […] will meet the expectations of the owners of a MiTo or a Giulietta.  It will be both mild-hybrid and electric . This will also be Alfa Romeo’s first electric model,”  Imparato explained in a recent interview with the French media L’Argus. This model will be a B-SUV (or rather a small sports  crossover ) related to the Jeep Avenger.  It will be manufactured in Tychy, Poland, and will use the second-generation CMP/eCMP modular platform. The name of the long-awaited entry proposal from Alfa Romeo  will be announced in September . The manager hopes that the transition

Soon, Porsche will put on the market a new fully electric SUV located above the Cayenne. Now, his CEO has given new clues about him, as well as his arrival date. According to the latest information released by  Oliver Blume, CEO of the brand , and collected in  Autocar , Porsche’s new electric SUV will be a different model from the rest of the German firm’s production. Official sources have stated that it  will exceed 5 meters in length  and one of its particularities will be that it will  present a “part saloon, part crossover” design . Blume himself has recently described the electric car as  “a very sporty interpretation of an SUV” . Known internally as “Porsche K1”, it will be a very particular vehicle with a design never seen before. In the first instance, it will be positioned as the technological head and flagship of the brand. Little is known exactly about its aesthetics, although Blume confessed that among its key attributes, he will highlight “a unique silhouette with a sho

Jim Farley explains what Ford’s second-generation electric cars will look like: a simple and scalable new electrical architecture, smaller batteries, and full software control. Ford responded to the war started by Tesla earlier this year by lowering prices for its best-selling electric car, the  Mustang Mach-E , in the United States. The manufacturer has also increased its production to  200,000 units a year  and those of the  F-150 Lightning  to  150,000 . All these moves belong to a long-term strategy aimed at  increasing its competitiveness and reducing prices . The American manufacturer has no choice but to get down to work and do a ‘heavy job’ that includes the air transport of parts, which implies a high economic cost for the company. In its quarterly financial report, its top executives candidly pointed out that  Ford has a disadvantage relative to the competition : It must improve its high costs relative to its sales benefits. Increase prices or reduce costs The good news f

The legend will live on. The Toyota Supra is one of the most revered cars within the automotive aficionado community. The next generation could be on the way, albeit with a radical change in mindset. The term Supra comes from Latin and means “superior” or “supreme”. A name that suits the Japanese sports car phenomenally. Since it was launched on the market in 1981, first as the Celica Supra, its popularity has not stopped growing. With four different generations on the market, Toyota decided in 2002 to nip the sports car in the bud for the sake of more electrified mobility.  After 17 years of absence from the markets, the Supra came back to life in 2019, although with an approach that angered most purists . There is no doubt that they will be angry again with what the Japanese plan to do in the next generation. It is clear that times change and we all have to adapt to them. As we said, Toyota’s strategy is to electrify its global fleet. With 30 100% electric launches planned for the

MG has confirmed that this summer it will expand the range of the  MG4 Electric  with new mechanical options. With this movement, the Anglo-Chinese firm will seek to finish cementing the resounding success of its electric compact, which thanks to its competitive rates have managed to conquer the European public from the moment of its launch. Currently, the MG4 is offered with two mechanical assemblies. The access model uses a 170 hp (125 kW) and 250 Nm motor, as well as a 51 kWh battery with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells. This variant completes 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, reaches a top speed of 160 km/h, and certifies  a 350 km WLTP  range. The top version combines a 204 hp (150 kW) and 250 Nm engine with a 64 kWh pack. In this case, the cells use NCM (nickel, cobalt, manganese) chemistry, which enjoys a higher energy density. The 0-100 km/h is reduced to 7.9 seconds. As for the range, it announces a maximum of  450 km WLTP . In the middle of the year, the MG4 will receive a thi

At the beginning of next year, Audi will present the expected  A6 e-tron , an electric sedan called to compete against the BMW i5, Mercedes-Benz EQE, and Tesla Model S. This model will be one of the first electric cars of the Volkswagen Group to use the PPE modular platform, developed jointly by Audi and Porsche. According to the chief designer of the firm with the four rings,  Marc Lichte , the appearance of the final version will be very close to that of the A6 e-tron Concept and A6 Avant e-tron Concept prototypes.  “At the end of this year, we will launch the Q6 e-Tron and then a few months later the A6 e-tron. The A6 e-tron will arrive exactly three years after the e-tron GT […] the concept car is very, very, very, very, very close to the production car.” The Q6 e-tron and A6 e-tron will debut the brand ‘s new design language , which will be characterized, among other things, by the use of two-level headlamps. While the upper module will be very thin, the lower one will be darken
