the supply chain process, all that massive. illegal leather stats may said on d w. the past towards sustainable mobility will in many, many, many use cases be an electric. what the is this the new best value for money v, the volvo, x 30 will find out right now. welcome to read. the x, the see is a compact tv that the swedish call make. it has aimed squarely at models like the

vw id. 3. i post astra electric and the test them upholstery. the entry level of price for the volvo, x $30.00 is just around $36600.00 euro. what do you get? well, 1st of all, you get a bunch of assistance systems. almost anything you could wish for blind spot of serious oncoming traffic mitigation. it will recognize pedestrians, bicycle spike or is so in the safety sense, you get everything you need. there's also an meat policy tricked vx. the c features the latest generation of all those automatic parking system, which can handle base parallel and perpendicular meaningfulness. empty spaces on either side of the car or detected when driving it speeds on to 22 kilometers per hour and then displayed on the touch screen. as soon as the driver has selected a spot, the pocket, this pilot stays the vehicle into place by taking over the steering the shift dec

celebrate the pedal and breaks the drive to get continuous progress updates via the display. what else do you get? a $200.00 kit, a water wheel driven call, with a 51 kilowatt hour battery that will achieve around 350 kilometers of range. if you compare that to, for example, uh the in the compact segment, let's say opal off dry electric vw id 3 or test the model 3. and then all of these will start at around $4142000.00 euros. and even though. busy some of these will have more range than the mobile. some will also have less range and also weigh less power for price that is way higher than that of the mobile. and pricey of versions of the x, the c include the single night long range model with a bigger bath tray, reaching out to 476 kilometers. and this 40 jewel motor with 315 kilowatts of power

. so what are the down sides? what won't you get in the volvo? the x 31 of the things you won't get is an instrument cluster. so behind the steering wheel there is nothing. if you want to know how fast you're driving the speed limit or any other information, you will find all of that in the central display in the infill team and system that takes some getting used to. but usually after a few minutes, you will have found yourself looking at the right spot instead of searching for your current speed behind the steering wheel. and just to be set and you have a safe journey, there's volvos on board computer keeping an eye on things. the general a driving impression in the. busy that is absolutely nice what you would expect from a valuable it is very comfortable. busy loudness in the interior is ok as well, nothing to it out, but also not to silence of the things to see traffic in particular one pedal

driving which is possible in old variants and shows great to come foot and increased range and other poles that you sent to them the range front is the onboard heat pump, which comes standards except in the single my to addition the all the way to put it to the interior of the ex 30 is to the in their opposite of the no buttons summit the steering wheel above that's about it. lean for payment system is as usual, with volleyball. i'll post the cars up, right? that's okay. it reminds you of your smartphone, and it's also easy to operate above. the touch screen looks very good, it's quite bright, it's easily readable, even if the sunshine on it it has google maps on it. so if you plan to do along the

trip, the call will automatically find charging spot along your route and then create the battery. so it's in that ideal stage to get charged. the only thing is, if you plan to charge on your own, or if you don't use the navigation, then the battery won't be pre heated ends. in worse case, it won't charge as fast as it could. would you also can see the side doors uh clean as well. that's not even a level for the windows because this one is right here in the center console. and what you also have in the center console is to cup holders. and if you don't need the most cop hold us, for example, if you want to put anything else inside, then you'd just put that away and you can place whatever item you want to in that tray. that's pretty nice. the vehicle can be shared with friends and family via an apps that enables it to be moved without the key. it is also

a remote function for checking whether the vehicle is looks and the windows are close. the same goes for free seat single cooling the interior, activating the whole locates the vehicle. the space in the back is definitely what you would call a compact. there is almost no leg room left. it's okay. you can put it in the middle because there's a little more space or at the sides. the head room is absolutely okay. also because of the huge panoramic glass roof. but the seating position is not exactly comfortable because as you can tell, the floor is quite high due to the battery of cause. and then you will have your legs bend quite a bit and that is not a position you will want to keep for a long distance trip. the seats, as such, are quite comfortable. no questions ask, but the position isn't the

just as in the front you have no buttons in the door. instead, the window levers are here in the middle where you will also find 2 u. s. b c sockets for smartphone. charging that are also handy funding pockets in the front seat banks. while the front has a capacity of 19 leeches. the trunk conflicting between 318 and 904 liters of comcast. the anything you want to adjust in the car is done via the central touched this site and that is also true for. busy the side view mirror, which by the way, look quite nice because they almost bought a list, but they need to choose the mirror adjustment from the menu in the in for payment system. and then you do it with the buttons at the steering. we are similar to what

tests law has. it is not intuitive, but to do it only one time. a scene, see the car has memory function, follow the different drivers. it is ok. this new stop button for the engine to get the vehicle going. the drive is simply press, is the brake pedal and engages for wood over of us using the guess the coming up, my volvo, x 30 experience. i like driving the car, even though i'm not a fan of su visa, it is quite nicely motorized. the fact that you don't have an instrument cluster is forgotten after a few kilometers and the integration of google maps in the, in full time. and system is also. busy thing i really appreciate the things i didn't like where the range that is in the small. busy and the space in the

back, but all in all a very decent call that offer some very good value for money cx. the t might not be the best value e v, but the entry level model is still a very good call at a reasonable price despite the deficits of space and the rate of cost. if you'd like to go fos to jewel mode to version that manages to hit the 100 k p h. and on the 4 seconds you will have to show out with the 48000 t arise in germany, which is almost 12000 molds. and so the entry level version, width of all the ex se, then it comes down to a question of savings versus speed cars, car cars, a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories. that could be in a german coffin. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here, right? but the question is now, wes, this is going next, right to us wherever you are,

incentives your stories and your crazy car into vs. let's catch up soon. unwrap the room or, or actually true. money was in trying not be the that the tv is going to die. because the traditional german legacy brands, like missy this on coal, cannot compete with the up and coming tidings e v. makers. so they are not on the verge of, sorry, the tone. i'm due again from the the rest i'm going to show you is that the case on that? are you also the last few or to with your frontier told codes you can, we can venture so you'll come from the in jump out loud, shoot me. and then to walk you through, choose onto sure thing one thing go up. we saw that she took the grand junction to

where the winter coat this left me who had already jump on the bunch vegan on purchased tool and electric vehicles is set the buffers. what's going on, what's happening to see that the vision is clear up purely electric portfolio portfolio and yes, we firmly believe that the electric mobility is going to support a sustainable and so you are missing the future to disco was no longer comp, have the massive investments in the electric vehicle sector, german and also makers, including this status bmw and folks log in over the past decade. oh, gone to based when i heard that best and ultimate curse represents payment status,

we're going to give up on the electric vehicles. i quickly check out the most serious germ of financial media, such as the reports in honda's blocks, which said these what and vicious goals, according to the internal plans, mister spins and to achieve more than 20 percent of itself is fully electric cars in 2023, however, distilled, got based company, only managed to achieve electric share of 12 percent of the approximately $12000000.00 costs delivered last year. given this pace it, since i'm realistic for the traditional german ultimate garment status, to achieve its goal of fully electric sales by 2030. and so after our runs of criticism from the supervisory board, the head of my status, ola colleen hughes has put an end to it. he's a comprehensive electric strategy, essentially hollow thing to target. for the end of this decade,

the sales ratio of my status hybrids. and electric vehicles, quite at most retail level of 50 percent. but from this news come, read concludes that may say this and even german automakers as a whole, a balance of the box, electric vehicles and stop competing these chinese manufacturers. even though they haven't given up at all, saying they've given up is completely nonsensical. there's no such thing. i think i would like to paraphrase or the single market, right? yeah. the reports about the death of the electric vehicle greatly accelerate what we are seeing now. what you're seeing now is a slide in right on the road to the electric field. we did each because to whomever you talk in the industry in the medium to the past, towards sustainable mobility. we look in many, many, many use cases. the electric records at the industry is ready,

willing and able to follow their pos for the majority of the week. so the notion that invest in countries unable to compete of slipping the table collectively giving up on the electric cars and leaving, trying not to play along come therefore only be described as some people being already anxious. not long after this claim was made, some of china's own social media voices stepped forward to clarify and set the right courts attract people to various reasons. people have been seen in very anxious. whether it's about the why the road old themselves, the one moment they think that being surrounded by the west and the country is doomed. the next the fee, i will replace humanity. i'm a doomed such feelings are understandable, but not particularly helpful because you'll be able to help to what you paid off into. it's a leading technical consultant into your pin automotive industry and has also

witnessed the growth of trying those electric vehicle industry. i think at the moment there is a very high attention to any new step according to the electron preclear, because we have the option of electric vehicles involved market. the we see the moment the, the situation. we have plenty of prices around about political, economic land. so on, right, and people really somehow in, in fear of change in some respects as those voices from china and europe mentioned. the uncertainty about the future of electric vehicles. may steam from the fact that we currently live in the off certain words. because so many of our previous understandings has been negated by new circumstances. we have started to become accustomed to engaging every single. but when it comes to the future of all mobility, a highly important topic,

what do the experts in europe same? and uh, why the electric will be that we use to choose with us for the industry. so there is no doubt about that. every major role we have many, many u. n. trends they, they have set their fits of electric ability as to the main trends of demand for more options for the future to come full scale, assess slice don't target x result cracks minus thoughts on the end of the dream. i'm not entirely result foundation. they have also got their opponents in germany. so the v is the future. to my unfortunately, our politicians have lost interest in the future. is this professor of 49 students who have, who used to be known as the godfather of the automotive industry in germany. as an academic, he pays close attention to and is optimistic about the development of china's electric vehicle industry and is often a p i p as

a professional chinese event. however, he is not optimistic about the future of electric vehicles in the european american markets. the reason stands from politics up on the political side, there have been significant changes and these changes are slowing down the electric car. the main reason why electric cars are now weakening in germany in the u, who is the lack of support from the political spirit. firstly, in terms of buyers premiums, and secondly, due to the general political attitude that internal combustion engines still have a future to the point of view that i had a to point out. so this is the view of professional didn't have a, as an academic of server. what have germany is major, traditional automakers has recently set about the future of electric vehicles. this is all kind of in use. the treatment of miss status. as we mentioned before, the phased criticism from the supervisory board, because it's a business plan for

a fully electric line up, but tools all the 30 wasn't all the chief of all. now here's chan she's narratives pushing back the deadline for completing this transition by another 9 years to 2039. so we want to achieve a net carbon neutral position by the end of the next decade. the body in order not to wait for that to happen in 1516 years. we have also set ourselves at the interim target by the end of this decade, pen achieve up to 50 percent of the journey by 2030, the net 0 carbon targets mentioned by mistake. this is actually more vicious than the previous goal. i'll achieving a fully electric sales line up by 2013. this net 0 go means that the entire product life cycle of audio vehicles, including batteries, roll material, production, assembling, delivery, customer usage, and recycling with

a chief carbon neutrality and the environmental impact of electric vehicles. so out your entire life cycle is also a focal point. for many critics in the long term, petri electric vehicles will be the predominant tab, trying to think of them i could chat by 2027. know we'll be at a tipping point. so puffed it up for electric vehicles flipping something. oh, i see. this was the boat to expiration made by the c o of folks, but you can in 2023. furthermore, looking across other german automakers, including bmw and audi, achieving carbon neutrality is essentially a meeting to long term goal for our often was only the timelines for achieving those goals. very seeing that german automakers are planning to execute the

electric vehicle. race is therefore completely at our best effects. the indeed there are many voices in europe questioning the future of electric vehicles . for example, european countries including germany on friends, sick visiting the reduced subsidies for electric vehicle buyers not long ago before the consolation of purchase subsidies buying electric vehicle in germany could have met it's you a government subsidy of around $4500.00, still $6000.00 euros imagine you had both a mid to high spec electric mini just the subsidy alone would have amounted for roughly 10 to 15 percent of the purchase price. for populum, all of this, like the many, this level of discount was essentially the maximum

a manufacturer could offer. if you had bought a cheaper entry level, electric car price between 20030000 euros, the government subsidy. would that cost the $2.00 adults and even the advert per person off the cost? but now this money is gone, but you would have to buy it and now the price difference assessed significant. and this is the most important argument. customers are withdrawing and reverting to combustion engines. so it's the big price difference between combustion engines and electric cars. so by way of comparison, china is no, a power dies for e v buyers. you can get this for running about 27000 euro. this 432000 euros, and this for less than 17000 bureaus of cos cannot become situations. undoubtedly the primary concern for most users, besides the purchase price, however, the continuously raising electricity prices across europe. also

a reason why many consumers hesitant to embrace each ford or more the 1st wave of trial and error of pioneers. oh, the so called early adopters have already terminated 1st time, positive and negative experiences. so years ago as someone, the full credit on the electric car belongs to those early adopters. the experience of driving electric vehicle in your of these days isn't necessarily bad, but it's enough to fast track you into a midlife crisis. the experience is marked by all paid public charging stations, an exorbitant electricity prices. the low compatibility of charging costs incomplete or inc, i create information about talking stages and various frustrating charging experiences. add to the audio,

coupled with wrench anxiety in her and to electric cars. all that reinforces my belief that the future of electric mobility cannot remain as it is now. i also understand better why many argue that the electric cars we see on the roads today, i'm early transitional products of costs. there are dissenting voices as well. ninety's of my i don't agree because if you look at vehicles from the latest generations, for example, what i said he is doing with his s and e class models, they have great range and one can manage quite well with them. well not era, however, kind of forgot me say this s o e of costs. we kind of hope that's a common curse. well, gradually democratized the battery. a technology used today and talk more this to more affordable, more of those that the masses cannot accept. regardless of the future of electric mobility will still depend on new technological advancements. the most important

thing, what we see here a bit to raise this is that the commodities that starts right away and we will have plenty of improvements over the next 2 years in terms of price performance, dependability as well. so this makes me come and see that that and next to probably the 10 foot feed, it's promises to provide sustainable affordable mobility for society. again, different hours and we expect that battery technology will make significant leads forward in the next 5 years. unfortunately, it's not going to school, we're talking about solid state batteries of your state. but only i've also noticed that in germany whether people are pessimistic or optimistic, i bought the car and states of electric vehicles. yes. do you believe that the future direction of outside will mess up? is electric. but kind of those traditional german comm acres which ones bone beak risk conversion to internal combustion engine technology and has been criticized

for moving to slowly on 2 legs towards electrification. continue proving the f a clear vision of the future and they are in raising the future as that is electric, or at least hybrids electric for the existing portfolio. so i wasn't boring too much if you're not able to to, to mess with the cod godfather of germany believes that the future of electric mobility lice and trying to see where optimistic that the breakthrough will happen in china. no question. and we think it will also spread to europe and the us. but the question always is, what will the politicians do? the politicians can back the car die or let it live. like and you can predict what politicians will do, where you got this message. you never less, as we have heard from it, say this folks log in and others eaves off from best. not even fading away.
