Tesla prepares the largest Supercharger in the world

Image
For many years we have been hearing from critics of the electric car what will happen when there are millions of cars on the roads.  That there will not be charging points for everyone  and that the network will not be able to support it. But some examples allow us to show graphically and practically that this should not be a problem and that the technology is ready, it is just a matter of investment and vision. Something that brands like  Tesla  shine at. And we can think that Tesla cars are not the best finished, that their after-sales service is very bad, and that they have few technical and sales centers. But if there is something where they manage to stand out, it is in their determined  commitment to one of the pillars of the development of the electric car. The cargo network. A network that has been one of the great bets on the part of the Americans, who have deployed the largest in the world, and which does not stop growing in number, but also in ambit...

BYD responds to the best-selling car in the world

Image
The  BYD Seal U  is a   direct alternative to the Tesla Model Y , so we could be talking about BYD’s most important launch so far. More than anything, the Model Y was crowned  the best-selling car in the world  in 2023, the first electric car to achieve this. And this time they have decided to go for a  lower price , because the BYD Seal U arrives in Spain  at 35,290 euros  and the Tesla Model Y starts at 35,990 euros, both with the help of the MOVES III Plan. It is a small difference, but this time the BYD model is a cheaper option and there are important differences between its features. The  BYD Seal U  began marketing in Spain in February 2024 and is an SUV model  4.78 meters  long and 1.66 meters wide that also has a 2.76-meter wheelbase. Due to its dimensions, it fits between the BYD Atto 3 and the BYD Tango, which were already available previously and compete within the  D SUV segment . There, as you already k...

Tesla Model 3 Performance will start production in March

Image
After launching the new version of the Model 3, Tesla had an ace up its sleeve.  The Performance version . A sporty variant that will need more than half a year to reach the market, a time in which the North American manufacturer has taken the opportunity to finally provide it with elements that differentiate it from the other versions. Although the first units of the Model 3 Performance have already left the California production line,  it will not be until March when mass manufacturing begins , and in addition to the American plant, the Model 3 Performance will also arrive from China. Chinese media are precisely revealing internal information from Tesla, which indicates that the new Performance will have new features that will make it a much more interesting alternative. It is indicated that it will have elements such as  a logo on the rear , which is quite similar to the Model S/X Plaid logo. An explosion pattern can be understood as a scene where the car accel...

Toyota solid-state batteries offer 1,200 km range and charge in 10 minutes

Image
Toyota has a plan, and it is none other than to catch up with – and even surpass – Tesla in terms of electric car production and technology at the beginning of the next decade. This, at first glance, may sound strange, since  Elon Musk ‘s firm is far ahead of the Japanese company in this area. However, the secret for Toyota could lie in  solid electrolyte battery technology , intended to solve the handicaps of electric cars: price, range, and waiting times for recharging. However, although its promises are many, there would still be a few years left before its final arrival on the mass market. Specifically, it is expected that this will not happen until around 2028. But what will be the specific specifications that the electric cars of the  future  will present? A  roadmap published  by the brand itself has already revealed a good part of these secrets, although the company still has doubts about the dates. Goodbye to ‘range anxiety’ in future e...

Sony’s electric car can be driven with the PlayStation 5 controller

Image
Although it will have powerful autonomous driving capabilities, the AFEELA has entered the CES Las Vegas 2024 stage with a style more similar to a video game. Autonomous driving has been on everyone’s lips in recent years, but Sony Honda Mobility has (again) presented its  extremely advanced electric car  in another, no less symbolic way: controlling the vehicle with a Play Station 5 controller. Cars are changing from a means of transportation with certain technology to a technological product that is used for transportation. Hence many new models and technologies are presented at shows like  CES Las Vegas . Where once it was rare to see, it is now common. We already knew the car resulting from the union between Sony and Honda: it is called  AFEELA  and now it has been presented again, this time to give more details about its technology and with a design that is very close to the production version. Your driving assistants will learn about driving and the env...

Next Tesla Model Y comes with radical changes and new name

Image
Unless there is a surprise, the   Tesla Model Y  should close the year as the  best-selling car in Europe  throughout   2023 . And not only is it a notable milestone for electric cars, but it is also the first time in history that a non-European car has achieved this feat. The fact is that it continues to have overwhelming success, but  it has fallen behind  after the brand released the   Tesla Model 3 Highland . And it is expected that under the  name Jupiter , a major  restyling  will be released next  year in 2024  that will also positively affect  its performance. The Tesla Model 3 needed a restyling and it came, and the brand  has got everything right  with the Highland. For its part,   the Tesla Model Y is selling much better  and could wait longer, but it is time to  update it  because it is true that there are more and  more Chinese rivals , and even Euro...

This hybrid car is much better than the Toyota C-HR and €4,000 cheaper

Image
Its previous generation was squeezed to the limit, it remained with  very inflated prices  compared to those of its rivals and, even so, the reality is that it was a real success in sales. The same thing will surely happen to the new one, but the reality is that the  Toyota CH-R 2024 is not the best purchase option  by any means. There is an alternative that is  better in practically everything , that has a  price of €4,000 cheaper  and that is also sold with a remarkable 7-year warranty. And no, don’t get confused, because it is not  ‘one of those Chinese cars’  that has an out-of-market price. The model I’m talking about is the  KIA Niro hybrid , an option with a 4.42-meter-long body that far exceeds the 4.35-meter measured by the newly released Toyota C-HR 2024. This difference in the exterior measurements is what explains why the KIA model has  better rear seats  and, in addition, also offers more cargo capacity in its tru...
