the 2 musicians under the swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and go get the tennis. i was the only one who lives in nazi germany. watch now on youtube dw documentary, the fuse more electric cause when you're all china's comic his now finding the boys. tons of fuss electric o as when it also be a success. get fiance's right now on the road. the are small electric cars made in china the right on certain your production

constraints. small affordable eaves for white public. china is the 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 caustic men's best known product off off from a lot of folks while i can or either your opinion or west and a common usage is right now the risk as extremely find that the electric car will no longer be affordable for the average

citizen besides, 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 and we're small vehicles kind of like what needs to happen for europe to also enjoy a small affordable, easy the chinese industry is now enough in a position to demo critize electric mobility for the rabbits on the lookout for answers accounts, i 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 euros 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 leave 100 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 fer sheet and $50000.00 and only 11 percent cost more than $50000.00 bureaus. the scene of the

dean, 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 and 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, it's not a german car owners drive an average of 40 kilometers a day. was it soon? the phone goes to the small electric vehicles from you have a range of 300 kilometers and that's enough for a weight height depth. and so i think there's a very high demand and 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 the 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 line, these policies in china and this whole e b strategy have a number of reasons why they're promoting small cars. map whom to the final stage include electric, right? and just how far they go, how efficient they are and how many resources were used. in other words, searching efficiency standards. i'm to test on that. and so they're also making sure that the cars don't get bigger and bigger. lexi do here, i'll just needed one course around the right ones. and you or a 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 reynolds, zoe, which costs to run 37000 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 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. the cars that are mostly heavier than to time and run contrary to the concept of economic co electric mobility was or electric on his physics and the car

is yes to accelerate it and. and that's makes no sense beyond my non so my goal is on that, but 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's 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 china. he's paul, it's

a 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, need the government. we need the regulations to make it happen. it's not the industry, it's the regulators which will make it impossible that small electric daily cost. so for example, we reduced the subsidies for electric rated cost and then the most of the small costs that just spring, 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 will cost almost twice as much. while a high end electric s u. v from bmw will increase in price by just 20 percent to

$55000.00 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 house battery plant and a new factory in spring 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 in europe. is open and,

and so the so called certification, se, there's this procedure, right? 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 modifications to 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 sales chinese cars in germany. as you do and a small car from door said, which of laura selves under the deal name for 24000 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 to 100 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 $10000.00 euros, which i don't think will be available here. 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 is 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 the 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 to utilize the level the standards out there. and i, i would say i wouldn't accept to lower the standards because of competition from far

east. 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 knew 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 up to mistake. i want to build domestic and we need to be optimistic because we don't have any other choice. but time is running at the european auto industry. william lee, the head of chinese car maker, neal has a 90 plans to launch a sub brand,

a 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 fragrant 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 aura r. one. emil 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 europe. there is a couple of similarities to the launch of the chapter, nice manufacturers in the seventy's and the cream manufacturer, the early ninety's,

we know, especially what it's impossible for the low to be successful. and how long does it last? nobody knows that we have seen the manufacturer of the take over that is actually not pop markets like germany. hyundai went independence after being jump started by m l fry. i know also produces it cars in europe that circumvents high you tyrants 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, 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 your income make us that there's

a demand for these. and you know, to also come up with their own solutions. the 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 are the problem with the japanese used to do when the koreans k on a come 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 so that's what the korean showed on that. that's what the chinese are now going to show in a more brutal way on flies one side. and he's convinced that small chinese e car is like the die you and will play an important role in opening doors to the european market. a cup of this as an rattle. it doesn't clatter. it runs quietly quieter than some cars we produce here in europe. i won't do it for me who 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 side bar to steve's gig fund. will china save email bill? is he in europe? the at comes they've realized that small vehicles are how you move e mobility forward. china is that the state of the, of the village in fact providing chief 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. yes. 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 electric 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 opal australia, 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 address the question is, can the asked drew electric live up to the success of its predecessors? that's what we want to find out today. but generally 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 us from on the is

mainly driving in or out of the city. so a lot of stuff in go because of traffic lights or traffic jams, and we have never its consumption of 12.8 kilowatt hours for 100 kilometers, which is way below watts opal james. or what has been measured in w o t p. so in theory, it should be possible to achieve arrange that is a little higher than what awful claims might least achieve. the range open claims, because oftentimes you won't be able to reach that with all of them. all 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 up at a 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 boarding, 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 fee, it's $40.00 and i really like it. but there's a lot of competition in the segments, like the dw id 3 at nissan. the. the only thing i would have wished for is live in law power. 115 kilowatts is ok

a 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 b o 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 feelings on the outside, the aster electric looks just the same as the hybrid and combustion engine version the interior of the electric gas to it's not that different than that of the other

hoss drive versions. you have 210 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. busy on 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 dr. local. the astra also has a heads up display that one is optional, 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 loaded at the v w i. d. 3. the comparatively long overhang, stupid a sporty if you're the just the smallest other electrical possibly electric cos the astro electric has the possibility to shift into a recuperation mode that will then cause the call to break. if you take your foot off the accelerator that way you could do one pedal drive if you plan ahead

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 is 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 shrink. little 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 then you astray electric, the back look so good, striking sporty. i really like it. and even though the car has some mine of flaws in some details, but 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 pass, a 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 fixed 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
