electricity that's why from the start we focused on energy supply where to get it experience has shown that there is an energy network it's not reliable so we're also working a lot with primary energy providers meaning renewable energies like solar or hydro electric. eva motors is now on its 4th prototype this model is expected to launch in africa in 2 years time in countries like ghana kenya south africa and namibia the idea is to supply some parts as modules with other components made locally. the a car is made mostly with flat metal panels and a total of $600.00 components not counting screws and rivets it comes with only a few very basic fittings that you have easily i have to supply certain parts like the battery electric motor and so on but any still or metal sheeting can be made locally and of course the aim is

a car which doesn't need much know how to build the production lines will also be arranged in such a way that things will be super easy to run. to make sure the a car can be built anywhere even motors analyzes production processes how can certain procedures be simplified in such a way that they can be easily grasped by mechanics anywhere in the world. but we've got this bodywork now and we document the installation of the suspension the axles and the connecting rods what to watch for the order things have to be mounted in. how many workers are needed do you need help or is it possible for one person. the a car is due to enter mass production in early 2020 then it will be launched in africa in ghana it's expected to cost around $10000.00 euros. well it's an old dude who is from gonna and tested the vehicle that you've seen it in action you've sat in it what's it actually like is beautiful is
7:23 pm
a bit ripostes but is something which is very interesting to test drive it yourself the question of course is not only going to be doesn't work but doesn't work for africa the distances in africa are vast how how are you going to get around that rut it is true that it's challenging but we tested enough into into the 7th in we tested it in. mind busy or science and technology in collaboration with the misty it was amazing the deposit it was received in this and you would not believe it but it was shipped from here to africa it landed and it was ready to move and it was able to perform if it really the driving down on this was a silent they use ability. and also we tested about 3 titan pictures in humidity and everything was just perfect so the battery works and it's being given a good reception but what about when it runs out of battery what happens that good
7:24 pm
that is. no vision part of it you know because we have solar panels mounted on top of the vehicle so walls are driving us about race and discomfort are you for distances and this is very interesting it is a face off is kind of it's moving very what is the infrastructure like in general in africa and i'm sure it's very different in various countries where a lot of electric infrastructure is going on in africa for example. in nigeria and so there's also in the media also. and many other countries so the infrastructure just wonderful and being improved daily. and what is it like when when it comes to a stable supply of electricity i mean george has electricity there but whether or not it's stable is. another thing that's that's important when running a business definitely africa is pumping a lot of investment into improving the electric infrastructure and this is
