marriage has been legalized and more and more discrimination thompson's everyday life. we all because like the news more electric calls when you're out. china is comic his now feeling the boys tons of fuss electric o as when it almost so it'd be a success. get fiance's right now on the road. the

are small electric cars made in china the right on search in your production constraints. small affordable eaves for white public china is a pacemaker for a in bringing in bringing small electric vehicles to the roads of to good small cars powering a mobility transformation and making electron mobility affordable for the masses. the affordability of electric mobility, these is one of the key factors to mazda, to transition towards the carpet, and you'd from won't be the thing. why are so few low cost electric cars on the road in europe? at the lower cost segments this no product off off from the folks while i can or either your opinion or west. and a common usage is or the subsidies of course, right now,

the risk as extremely high that the electric car will no longer be affordable for the average citizen. the car is made in germany are simply too expensive. china could close this gap in the european market coast in case you get is affordability is very important for year and being consumers today. and so i think there's a very high demand in the market for small vehicles, kind of thoughts like what needs to happen for europe to also enjoy a small affordable, easy the chinese industry is now being in a position to demo critize electric mobility for the rabbits on the lookout for answers account, they've realized that small vehicles are how you move e mobility forward the touch cash cut from lower section 8 in port small electric cars from china to germany. one model, the 35 kilowatts diode e, s 2,

at the price of 34500 euro is minus the german government's environmental bonus. 11000 bureaus cheaper. the g 2, d 2 s with 27 kilowatt. there's a huge range of small ease, not only in the chinese market, the willing hung, one for example, is china's best selling electric car. the price equivalent to just bear to 700 euro's you can buy a, b, y, d, c, go there for just 10400 curos. isaac, you, you've handled many costs. just 14900 euro's the chinese e car market is a bargain. hunters power dice around every 50 car can be has to be equivalent of less than $15000.00 bureaus. 12 percent cost between $15.20. 37 percent between $20.30. 21 percent between fair sheet and $50000.00 and

only 11 percent cost. more than 50000 bureaus. sheen up the dean to the china supplies the market. you need with small vehicles including in europe misapplied 5. sorry. dfcs cash got billed to business, selling the russian car brand lot in germany. but since russia's invasion of ukraine, the business with lot of has grind to a halt. and so he's made a lot of germany's dealer and service networks with more than $320.00 branches available to chinese car makers. and this in deal with the from the beginning, we've known that the european market is important for our electric vehicle manufacturers. we did a bit of research, this was not a german car owners drive an average of 40 kilometers a day. was it soon? the phone goes to the small electric vehicles and we have a range of 300 kilometers and that's enough for a weight of the item. so i think there's a very high demand in the market for small vehicles over the top. and so is it kind

of what's very good in china, the small easy market has been built up systematically between 20152022 the average price dropped from 66232000 bureaus. while in europe, it rose from 49256000 the development of china, the electric car industry was to portion for decades by governmental policies and subsidies from the stock. there's been a focus on what kinds of vehicles are actually produced. the last lot these policies in china and this whole e b strategy have a number of reasons why they are promoting small cars, map whom to the final thing includes electric, right? and just how far they go, how efficient they are and how many resources were used. in other words, searching efficiency standards, some to test on that. and so they're also making sure that the cars don't get bigger and bigger are likely to here to i'll just mention one course around these

that ones in europe. big cars, dominique, the electric market. small electric cars play only a minor role, like the electric c at $500.00, which can be had 435000 bureaus. they're run out zoe, which costs to run $37000.00 euros. or the ego life, which asking university professor, good cash. who brought onto the market in a small series for $24000.00 bureaus. in europe, only 7 percent of all the electric cars sell for less than fair. 2000 bureaus. 45 percent cost between 705-0000. and a whopping 48 percent. go for more than $50000.00 euros cars that are mostly heavier than to time and run contrary to the concept of economical electric mobility. where electrical is physics and uh the car

is yes, the exhilarating it and that's makes no sense beyond my non so my goal is on the block. we have a tendency towards ever bigger and wider vehicles with more aerodynamics that are inefficient at high speeds. that's not a good development, and it's a shame that with electrification, inexpensive small cars are disappearing. basically on the cars for the people in the oldest floats. in europe, there's not much profit to be made with small e cars at the moment is not only the small number of units produced that increases costs. the decisive factor is that the battery a transfer run for 2 percent of the total cost of any car. and european car makers mostly buy them as a high price from china. the world market leader in electricity storage. the government in beijing has ensured that china controls the entire value chain of electric cars, giving it complete autonomy and production the chinese public,

the real estate set, the strategy for the development of the countries automotive industry and 5 year plans. while european leaders lack coherent plans to make e mobility viable for the masses, nice the government, we need the regulations to make it happen. it's not the industry, it's the latest which makes it possible that small electric every cost. uh so for example, we reduce the subsidies for electric rated cost and then really most of the small costs that just bring europe's cheapest electric car was available in germany in 2022 for 11500 years after a subsidy of $9000.00 bureaus in 2025, with light subsidies, it'll cost almost twice as much. while

a high end electric s u. v from bmw will increase in price by just 20 percent. to 55000 bureaus. at least volkswagen has a nice that it will launch and electric car for less than 25000 years. but not until 2026. you can always reach full calls coming earlier, but we have to make this call profitable. we are not in the social business that this is about us all the company going forward and creating money that we can reinvest in the future. and you, in his factory plant and a new factory in spain where labor is cheaper, should help keep production costs to the id to low bought the new plants wouldn't be finished before 2026. until then german small electric car buyers will have to make due with vehicles imported from china by d to trash got but you hurdles will have to be overcome before these cars can launch a. europe is open,

the so called certification phase. this procedure are 80 long pages for the modification item. we're lucky that we've teamed up with a lot of german and they've also given us lots of chips and assist us with the how motivation for the tips on the system. so quite a little bit as he owns bladder and the location process, the car must be adapted to the technical requirements of the european union. the largest company in rylon fights also sells chinese cars in germany. the g 2 and a small car from dorsen, which of laura selves under the deal name for $24000.00 euros. the cars are not quite as cheap as in china because they have to be retrofitted at great expense. everything from seat belts to airbags on a kind of european safety regulations. and you want small cars to have equipment that matches vehicles that can go 200

kilometers on the track. there's no difference, not even in the safety requirements is just us in china or in asia. also in india have a lot of vehicles that cost well under 10000 euros, which i don't think will be available here. ready and from 2024, every car registered in the you will have to have complex driver assistance systems that can regulate to speed and warn when the car leaves its lane. as well as extra bells and whistles lake drive are driving us detection. that's where the beauty of traffic and technological hardware is that the use, imposing on the small cost sector, or a hindrance to shop prices on cost of my own. small chinese cars have to undergo a radical overhaul to qualify for you. home, a location, a note, every cheap chinese e car can even pass the test. so you to see the human level,

the standards are there and i, i would say i wouldn't accept to lower the standards because of competition from parties. however, it european manufacturer is trying to produce a low cost electric car are also struggling with the use possibly safety regulations. somehow, europe doesn't seem to be the right place for cheap e cars. the maybe to do mean how to, how to make it more affordable than what we, what we can do because we have, we have the situation, we have the framework, but we have an adult that the price will be at the same level as chinese carve a week or 2, what we should to do as your opinions are, we need to be too many to be more efficient. i'm optimistic, i want to build domestic and we need to be optimistic because we don't have any other choice. but time is running out to the european auto industry.

william lee, the head of chinese car maker, neal has a nice plans to launch a sub brand of small electric cars in europe next year. and chinese car make a great wall which produces small e cars like the overall funky cat, an or r one has already started to shake up the german market with the help of switzerland's m a fried group, europe's largest car dealer is making around $200.00 of its dealerships in service outlets in germany, available to market, the overall funky cat, and soon also a revamped version of the or r one. meal fry made a name for itself in the 19 seventy's when it started selling japanese brands like subaru and later mitsubishi in germany. in the 19 ninety's, emil fry also unfortunate the 1st one day cars to germany and helped establish the korean brand in your area. a couple of similarity up to the launch of

the check, a nice manufacturers in the seventy's using the cream manufacturers in the early ninety's. we know especially what it's impossible for the low to be successful and how long. but the last, nobody knows that we have seen the manufacturer of the take over that is to actually pop markets like germany. hyundai went independence after being jump started by m l. fry. know also produces it. cars in europe that circumvents high uterus and avoids the high cost of import export. could this be a blueprint for chinese car makers? the key question is also going to be, will, chinese produces actually a stop exporting only and also stop producing in europe. and i think once that's happening and, you know, then they have made it and i think then they can also contribute to these, these goals of, you know, producing cheaper costs in europe for your customers. and that will also then

trigger reaction by european come make us that there's a demand for these. and you know, to also come up with their own solutions. 3 touch gosh, guy is convinced that he's only a pioneer as an importer of chinese e cars. and wouldn't be doing this job for more than 5 years. we got the problem with the japanese used to do when the koreans k. on the 1st, there were importers hoover. and then they tried to establish the market themselves step so you can gain another market. so that is what the japanese show and that's uh, that's what the korean showed on that. that's what the chinese are now going to show in a more brutal way on price on the side. and he's convinced that small chinese e car is like the di you and will play an important role in opening doors to the european market. a competition like doesn't rattle it doesn't clatter. it runs quietly. quieter than some cars we produce here in europe. i won't open for me,

i lives in the countryside and i drive when he has suddenly sense that the ducks on the road don't move because they didn't hear the cars and display the budget. also that china, we'd be driving around without small electric cars, a drive back to steve's gig fund. will china save email bill? is he in europe? the comes and they've realized that small vehicles are how you move e mobility forward. china is that the state of the, of the village in best providing cheap electric, hopefully the 1st aid in this way it will open the door. so a lot of discussion of the world is saved by those who buy it. it's always a matter of demand. guess clearly china is not the only a pace makeup of the website. the chinese oems are not on the pacemakers, but also catalyst now transition to electrical mobility whether small chinese e cause over run europe in the future or the european also industry is spurred on

by competition from china to build more affordable e cars itself. the emphasis from china will definitely help make electron mobility more affordable for everyone. the . this is the current generation overall struck a very successful model since the ninety's and it has now taking the next step into the future by becoming available as a purely electric version. we're checking that out right now. welcome to read. the question is, can the astro electric live up to the success of its predecessors? that's what we want to find out today. the general driving impression in the product thing is pleasantly silent, which is partly due to the sol improve glass that come to a stand that in every of some of the

mainly driving in or all the city. so a lot of stuff in go because of traffic lights on the traffic jams, and we have never its consumption of 12.8 kilowatt hours for 100 kilometers, which is way below watts oval james. all what has to be made within w o t p. so in theory, it should be possible to achieve arranged that is a little higher than what awful claims boy, at least achieve the range opened claims. because oftentimes you won't be able to reach that with all of the electric cost. the 1st model named us to came on to the market in 1991. so shortly after the german, the re union. so you might be able to say, this car a somewhat a child of the re union, so what better place to take a look at the current generation then the capital city of germany. but the

aster s was the successor to the contest that happened because awful decided to replace it stodgy. military names like admiral cadets. and over the years, opal sold more than 13500000 units of the astra. and it station wagon version, which was europe's best selling and its category from 1993 to 2000. now back to the astra electric what i like about the after electric, if it's forwarding is that only the little quite sporty, but you'll also sitting quite low. then of course you have the battery sitting very low and the car, you have a low center of gravity and you feel that while driving into cars it's fields sporty and i really like it. but there's a lot of competition in the segments, like the dw id 3 and nissan. the. the only thing i would have wished for are,

is i live in law power. 115 kilowatts is ok, but not exactly the sporty type. if you compare that to be the use id 3 that comes in at $150.00 kilowatts of power. that is a number i would consider just at the beginning of sporty. but you have to say one thing with 170 kilometers and our top speed. the us draw is 10 kilometers at all faster than the id 3. the straw electric gas powered by a $115.00 kilowatt electric engine pad with the 54 kilowatt hour battery. and that gives you a w l to p range, all 418 kilometers, which is quite good. if you compare that to be able to use id 3, the current generation will have, uh 50 a kilowatt hour battery and go like 10 kilometers more.

but if you compare the ever it's consumption, the old boss to comes in, it's 14.8 kilowatt hours. while the id 3 will have 15.2. so 0.4 as a difference. why is that? mostly because of the weight, the old plaster as a weight of just on the 1680 kilograms. while the id 3 will be at least 1805 kilograms. so a 12230 kilograms, which is quite a lot the seats in the store or the know me go the certified and you feel that with every cube i'm going to, you drive not a single bit of pain or any of the unpleasant feeling on the outside, the aster, electric looks just the same as the hybrid and combustion engine version. the

interior of the electric gas tries not that different than that of the, of the drug versions. you have to 10 inch displays, the right one is a touch screen infotainment system. but what i really like is the fact that open decided to keep physical buttons for the climate control. so you can adjust the temperature or the fan or whatever you want the, the steering wheel fee, it's quite good. looks ok. i'm not a fan of that huge part in the middle. it's a little too big, but i have to say i like that. they took the visor, design from the front end, integrated it into the steering wheel. quite nice. then there are some buttons for the most important functions, volume adjustment fall, and the cruise control and so on. what i like uh the materials at the door right here. this is some soft touch fee, it's pretty nice. this looks like carbon, it's not, but it's that fee is good any way. and then you have some level type down here.

high goals, plastic here in grade. at the push of a button, you can switch between 3 different drive plugins. the aster a also has a heads up display that one is optimal, but i would always suggest you opt in for that because it's so much easier to keep track of your speed. the speed limit and also the vacation because all of that it's shown there and there is no need to take your eyes down from the road so you will always be on your way, safer with the length of 4.37 meters. the astro is a solid 10 centimeters longer than the vw id. 3. the comparatively long overhangs cupid, a sporty appears. just the smallest of our electrical, possibly electric cos, the astro electric has the possibility to shift into a recuperation mode that will then cause the cost to break. if you take your foot

off the accelerator that way you could do one paddle drive, if you plan to have a little bit or are aware of what's happening in front of you. one thing i missed though is that you can adjust the strength of recuperation with all the costs. you will have 123, or maybe even 4 levels. and here there is only yes or no the, the thing i don't really like about the current generation us draw a, the indicate a sound because it sounds like someone is playing the drums with an empty plastic bottle. at least that's what it sounds like to me. i mean listen not exactly a fan of that. the as through like trick will 1st be available in this 40 g s line

for the starting price of just over 45000 euros in germany. this is my favorite view off the new us dry electric, the back looks so good, striking sporty. i really like it and even though the car has some mine, a flaw. busy in some details, the complete package was able to convince me i like this car and what's even better about it. this car will become available as a station wagon, a purely electric station wagon station wagon lover. i have to say this is what we need. we have almost none of these on the market. i would that in mind, i would say the astra electric has very good changes will be coming just as huge of his success as the predecessor swore to some of the astro electric is a very good looking car with a decent range comfortable seats. and lots of standard equipment,

but the maximum $100.00 kilowatt charging 6 recuperation level and lack of power. leave you wanting more in the future over plants, the launch cheaper entry level versions of the astro electric. enjoy the roll it and see you next time on risk. the the, the

have you all ready for for getting is necessary. our brains use to store some things in order to keep the important thing. when does forget to become a disease? friend, learners offer you in the development of drugs against alzheimer's and dementia. so please, don't forget to watch tomorrow today. in 30 minutes on
