i as me 3 women, 3 powerful messages, the 77 percent in 60 minutes on d w. ah, a, what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listened to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. today and read the alter and the village. he shows how the chinese does have neo wants to come here. the german e markets. how e bikes from germany are solving the finishing problems in uganda. and how about the tunic waco, whose legs amputated became the top driver in nigeria. with

the neo brand is still pretty much unknown in germany. but the chinese e. b juggernaut is planning it's german launched by the end of 2022. neil is coming to germany today, my 1st test drive in germany with a neil cock. if you want to know more about the cost, the brand, the plans for the future stick around and with that, welcome to read. the e s 8 is neos biggest s u v. and while it's not sold in germany, you might still spot it on the streets as it's available in norway. first in europe for the brand. the cool thing about neo calls that is apparent once you get inside is that a little figure looking at you it's name is no me, it's basically a voice recognition system, but it's way cuter than it is another cause. he will have

a little thier that is looking at you. sometimes it will wink and from time to time when it's bored, it will do funny pain. while norway gets the yes, hate the smaller e s 7 s u b and the 87 and 85 sedan for the time being, it seems like it's just the sedans and the e. s. 7. that will make it on to the german market with design center for neo caused by the way east in munich, germany, we were there and had a quick chat with the chief designer. by the way, we can show you the sensor from the outside since it's pretty secret. so you've got to believe it's in munich. i mean, we starting a new brand from scratch or had so we have a lot of creative freedom. and it's like starting with a clean sheet of paper, but at the end of the day we want to create and design beautiful cars for our users

. so we really keep their, you know, experiences in mind in terms of how they want to feel when they see a neo. so we really want to create a, a perfect car in that it's beautifully designed, intuitive, easy to use. and really embodies all the attributes of, from what our users want. of course, the neal brand is a grand success in its home country, china. the annual neo day attracts thousands of owners and bands from across the country. that's in part because neo has focused on building a community among its customers. neil fan club, the cross china meet regularly go on trips and even organized charity events. and they stay in touch with the company for james to directly address any questions the owners might have neo doesn't view itself as an ordinary car maker. that's plain to see what their latest venture neo houses, ah,

potential and current neo owners can meet, get advice on vehicles or simply grab a cup of coffee. there are more than $65.00 neo houses in china already. and one in the norwegian capital oslo. we started to look to indulge in an exercise, trying to see if we could find what was really essential. we came up with this feeling that it was all about engagement and community. it's about a closeness and relationship to nature as well. it's about a celebration of local tastes and flavors. with in germany now we're, we're good about to open neo houses. and these really embody also neos core design principles as well. so we really want a holistic experience for our users,

so that the cars and every touch point for the users really feel like one red thread running between them. so the, for instance, the new houses, the way the furniture is the way you're greeted, the experience is total experience. really is something that's been driven by design. ah, the design philosophy around neo was really based on our company brand values, which are honesty, care, vision, and action. and from that we actually developed our design dna, which is pure human progressive and sophisticated. e s h is roughly the size of a, b, m, w, x 5 or i x. but it aims to attract premium customers at an affordable price. the logo itself represents our brand philosophy of vision, the upper part being the sky in the lower part being action sort of the road to that. so vision and action prices for the s 8 start at around 57800

urines, making it a good deal cheaper than the b m w i x, which costs over 77000. thanks to its 400 kilowatt motor b as 8 has plenty of power range varies between 375 and 500 kilometers. depending on what size battery you opt for. right now neo is struggling a little bit because all the audi is not really satisfied with the naming of this called the e s. aids because they say it's too close to their ass aid. so the sporty is version of their flagship model. but to be honest, it's like a different car. and also this car is in a completely different segment and also be completely different type of car than the as a by audio. and what i think is even more important, a name consisting of

a ladder, and a number is not really something that you would call creative naming. so he can steal like 2 digits. i don't really know if you steve a name like i don't know to you, does i go bumping, then it's different, but numbers letters. i don't see any problem. there are a naming strategy is based on 3 digits and letters. so the 1st one, e, it is represents for us experience and emotion because that's what our brand is built on. the 2nd letter represents the car type, so in this case s is for as he the, and the number designates that the hierarchy of the vehicle in this case 8 being the big assessor the we have. so e s 8 of course, what sets the neo bran to park is it swap a will battery system. at a battery swap station, customer can exchange an empty battery for

a fully charged one in a matter of minutes. in the future it will be possible to off for a bigger or smaller battery, depending on availability. with the battery as a service option, the battery remains the property of neo and is rented on a monthly basis. that simplifies swapping and ensures you always get the best possible battery if you want. you can also simply buy your battery. the 1st swamp station outside china was recently opened in oslo. over the next few years, neil plans to build 1000 more of these swap stations in europe. of course it's also possible to charge the vehicles normally at a wal box for public charging station. driving in the

o if cool, i mean the idea i really like it. and the only problem right now is we will have to wait, wait until neil comes on to the german markets. wait until there are enough swap stations and wait until the hour, the neo houses. but i'm pretty sure once all of this is done, neil is gone. i have a great success here. neo hasn't yet officially announced when exactly it's models will hit the german market. but the 1st will definitely be the e t 7 sedan in 2022. equipped with 2 electric motors, it'll pack 480 kilowatts of power. different battery sizes will provide ranges of 500 to a 1000 kilometers, making the car arrival to the tesla model less. and portia, tie con while we don't yet know the german prices in china, the $87.00 cost, the equivalent of $48000.00 euros, plus $150.00 euro's a month for renting the battery. ah

walter own ends 1st passengers of the day or his 2 youngest children. he is a bike taxi driver in ginger, some 90 kilometers east of uganda's capital kampala, a few months ago he traded in his old bike taxi for an afro, crazy. and he by develop for the african market, and he's been attracting a lot of attention. you can see that was in i let me good even in the go design was using gala another using my whole seat as well. because i frequency is the brainchild of juergen passion, a former teacher from northern germany. more than 10 years ago. as he is travelling across africa, he began thinking about how transportation on the continent could become more sustainable. many in africa ride motor bikes, which are expensive and polluting. sheets vans and fuselage unlocked rica has lots

of solar energy units and huge mobility outs. if you bought europe has lots of e bikes that let so why not combine a bikes with africa? solar energy to make a cargo bike power dusk that could really help solve mobility problems on the continent. i do them for movie to school. dream of to put it in to help turn his idea into reality. you're going teamed up with an e pike specialist from germany. together they designed the 1st prototype and realized the bikes would need to be adapted to the needs of african customers, including the local road conditions. to stay irish shown, that was a pretty big challenge when it came to designing the bike. like montague, the road conditions aren't necessarily like what a bike riders are used to here. but what i, that's what i saw, and some of the bi components that the industry tends to rely on, might not be available on general read. and then, as we call hun, my limbs,

off to dixon, more spokes and the wheels and a reinforced frame, styled in the look of a more expensive motorbike. the affray crazy was designed to be robust and appeal to its clientele. and at $600.00 euros, it's quite a bit more affordable than most the bikes. the project also includes a micro credit system to help people finance the purchase. passions partner in berlin belongs to hero cycles, one of the world's largest bicycle manufacturers. the indian company can draw on huge economies of scale to produce the affray cruces at a competitive price for a hero. it's an idea that makes sense and gets them a new foothold and the huge african market. the 1st 100 after he cruces went into operation in uganda in 2022. as e by taxi's e bike ambulances and water delivery bikes at fabio. the n g based and

ginger that's coordinating the afro cruising project. the 1st batch of e bikes already attracted a lot of interest. fuel costs have also risen sharply in uganda as all over the world, which has helped to make e mobility more appealing. this comes as an alternative, as a trends. what are mobilly till tentative that to people can use instead of motorized transport lay cause lake monticello cause the fact that it is functional . it is able to carry 100 kilograms of of cargo. so it is function, it is very fast. it is of course 5, fabio runs small service points to handle maintenance, and to swap out the solar powered batteries. mechanic joshua mikaya joined the project early on and now has a permanent position. he sees a bright future in the technology. hey,

rush stuffed up to auction and they want to skin my fellow friends and young people don't dare. i wanted to get them on how to pay up bags and how to pay off ebay, walter own and comes here to swap his batteries when businesses brisk. he's here twice a day on days when he can't make it, he's out of luck. so one of the tennessee, one thing movie, if the battery is not there so you can read losing light with it, no light. so you have to still viewing the fabio team are in regular contact with technical designers. and berlin showed the bicycle lights get a separate battery. does the frame lead to any updates? the 2 teens are working on refining the next generation of africa. cruises, juergen passion is hoping for more support from another angio called atmosphere.

it's business model. air travelers make a voluntary donation based on their emissions. those contributions then help fund green projects around the world. a free cruise he is hoping to become one of them. so now the analysts are studying how some of the bikes are being used to best model it is. there are gps modules that allow us to see how many kilometers the bike travel on and carry out surveys to see how people use the bike tanks. the audio was part of what form of transportation did at replacing, and what would they have gone by motorbike by car or on foot would allow using that data, we can determine how much c o 2 emissions were actually savers to that. so. so i on farmed on this even though that process takes time. the next 640 every crews. the bikes are in production. in india, they'll be headed to togo, panini, burkina, faso, tanzania, and other countries. it's hope to eventually produce some components in uganda.

ah juergen passion is happy that his affray crazy project is taking off. and for walter own him and his family. the bikes have made a huge improvement to their day to day lives and future prospects. if you want more rev, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, reads can make you very happy vintage classics and future tag or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us at youtube slash d w. read. and you'll always be up to speed thinking about the lake for more minutes. the 1st thing which comes into people's mind is range. anxiety. i'm telling you don't be worried to day rep is going to tell you

how to charge your e v. absolutely. anyone. class, the blacks and cables that i use for a very free e, v x p. as in germany let's start with what you can do at home. so this is a stand at home flux. if you are like me at your brother's place and your car is empty, then you can chart an enormous on socket. while it varies in different parts of the world in germany, a stay at home so could usually support up to 3.7 kilowatts. 230 voids and 16 m power. but getting a push hard from a whole socket requires some amount of patients. we are charging right now with this, you know what? that means. it takes 13 hours to charge from 60 to a 100 percent. and that of course is a long time and it's not exactly very free. so i put it in, in a 10 impair home focus, but as you can see, it's delivering certain impair. that is actually dangerous because it could cause

the lion or wired. but in some cost, you have the option to change the mpeg, which will help you to save your wire. so they are always 2 sides to the story. if you are not confident about the wiring, then of course just use it for emergencies and just charge as much as necessary to come to the next truck. with a why box is a charge out what you would install at home. so i personally don't have a web ex, but that's the reason why we came to this message is dealership to show you what it would look for. boxes usually didn't have a power between $7.22 keywords, and you need a certified electrician to install one, which is often quite expensive, but it can potentially combine convenience was competitive, we get charged, which is a big place. for this, let's say this why box here is charging mice has low with 11, which means it's going to take approximately one hour 25 minutes to go from 60

percent to the 80 percent charging limit i've set which isn't too bad. they are also remote charging options in industrial areas. this is an industrial block. there are 2 types of these red flags across europe. at 16 m power plants that can deliver up to 11 kilowatts and asserted to end up like that can deliver up to 22 q one. so actually that is what you need when you on a remote area where you have no other opportunity to touch. but what about when you are re and truly in the middle of nowhere? these are camping blacks, which are to see plaques. you'd use it campsite in europe. here they are usually a standardized blue color. there's a smaller, 16 m power black and the bigger $32.00 impact. the advantage of these blacks is that they deliver up to 3.7 kilowatts of energy, very consistent so that i have tried on my own and it works. so

you can rely on the electricity pushed into your car. this is a cable. what you get from a manufacturer when you buy. and so that is actually a type 2 cable in permanent type 2 cables, usually transfer grades up to 40 suite awards. but it depends on what your specific, if you can take and what the public charges that you have collected into can deliver. for example, charging my tesla, 77 kilowatt hour battery from 0 to $100.00 at an 11 kilowatt charges takes 7 hours . if you live in a city and don't have your own charging set up at home, chances are that this is a game that you are likely to rely on the most. so that is actually the whole set up. i'm traveling with to avoid range anxiety. and just to calm you down, i have all of these kayla's because i'm constantly on the go driving all across europe and any be chances are that if you'd just drive from home to work and back,

you won't need to rely on anything other than public charges some of which have own claxon k with these are the ones i encounter angenie. this is an 18 type 2 cable at the public charter, which is a rare fight. but if you manage to lose your own type to cable, you could use these supply power rate of up to 43 kilowatts. this is as her, the more plaque which was developed in japan back in 2010. the aren't very common in you, but a still used to charge sammy's. they support rapid d. c. charging and in germany they usually go up to $150.00 kilowatt. and this is a ccrs of combine charging plug, which has to be the contact at the bottom, allowing for fast charging. it's the most common rapid charging block across germany, allowing charging speeds up to $350.00 kilowatts, although occasionally even higher. of course, since i drive a tesla, i ought to have the advantage of as less supercharge in it,

which also uses the c c as plaque in europe. but did you know constantly past charging your car isn't good for the better. but more about that in our next video, where i would tell you how to treat your e better you i was no more, i think looking to schedule a leg. that's what the quoted leg i deal with . i used to renew crochase to drive in to play with

god. god more than my initial is not to do with when i got it. i buy so many. okay, job. no job. i go to break down the 2. i have myself. now we can decide to be using that got got it. with that i'm using to drive my car. this one is a 120 minute break while you're down

down a little soon as up on me to one of the and i'm with to walk. i same hole we know that go give on. so that's what we started doing from did i know the tick? courtney i taught class was my i was 6 foot 10 hours a block in des moines. i think that depositing one or more down i make with
