With this step Toyota confirms that Tesla already dominates the charging world

Toyota and its typical Japanese mentality have taken a fundamental step that confirms Tesla as the industry leader in charging systems. Japanese cars will have a NACS system. Recharging is a fundamental process to take into account when buying an electric car. The multiple options available on the market are there to respond to a problem that is minimized as time goes by. There is no doubt that in these terms Tesla is synonymous with guarantee and speed. Its charging network, now public, has become a reference throughout the world. Its NACS system can now be considered standard in the United States after signing an agreement with the last company that was pending to acquire it, Toyota.

The year has been very intense in terms of agreements to standardize a charging system in the United States. Unlike in Europe, where the CCS format has been imposed and is fitted to all-electric cars, including Teslas and Toyotas, in North America it has been advocated to give freedom to manufacturers so that each one can decide which solution to adopt. This has led to a small chaos that has been resolved unilaterally by the brands. Among them, they have agreed to follow a single course and nothing is better than Tesla’s format to convince the public.

Toyota will adopt the NACS format, but not in all its electric cars

Last spring, Ford made a major announcement. Starting in 2025, all its electric cars will have the NACS port installed at the factory. The agreement sealed with Tesla shook the foundations of the industry. Little by little, one after another, all brands have been jumping through hoops to adopt the Tesla port as the best and only system available. Despite the criticism and complaints issued by various associations, the Michigan movement laid the first stone in a building that today can already be considered completed. The Japanese have been the last to join this trend.

Tesla Supercharger

It must not have been easy for a corporation like Toyota to take the step. The Japanese have a strong mentality of conservatism. The changes are made little by little. Decisions are made after many analyses and studies and rarely in history have we seen such a change in mentality. After signing the agreement, the electric Toyota and Lexus that are manufactured from 2025 for the United States will incorporate the NACS format, but not all. The Japanese have not given up completely since, as they announced, only those vehicles that are manufactured in the Kentucky plant will be assembled. They’ve specifically referred to an all-new three-row SUV that we haven’t seen yet.

Starting that year, owners of the corporation’s electric car will be able to freely access the extensive charging network installed in North America: 12,000 points spread throughout the territory, although to connect to the supercharger network they will need a CCS to NACS adapter. that the company will be in charge of providing to its clients. For now, it is not known if they will have to pay for it or if Toyota, in a show of solidarity, will offer it for free. What is clear is that Tesla can now say that it dominates the world of charging. Its port will be the standard from 2025 and nothing and no one, not even the SAE, can say otherwise.

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
