with 6 men of 22nd. you probably heard about neo, the chinese car maker that has cars will schwabl batteries today will take a detail look at how that works, but will also look how long does it take, what does it cost and is it really necessary? welcome to read. our test car is denila e t 7. the flagship sedan is the 1st model to enter the german market. right behind me, you can see the newest, neo swap station near all spoke germany. and while we're waiting for our turn to get the car inside, we can also talk about the major use cases that you have. if you want to swap your battery with the car, the 1st one you have long distance trips. so for example,

you're going in on a vacation, then you will want to have an a g pretty fast, and you don't want to wait at charging point. then this is the way to go. and the other point is, if you don't have access to charging, for example, at home or at your workplace, then this could also be for you. the 87 has a power output of 480 kilowatts and comes with 2 different battery options at the moment or the right now we'll waiting in front of the swap station fall turn to swap our battery. and then we'll take a look at exactly how long this will take to 75 kilowatt hour. battery delivers 445 kilometers of range. according to w l t p test results. the 100 kilowatt hour version can go up to 580 kilometers. at the swap station, you can choose which battery pack you want to receive. no,

i only need to press star parking and also press the stop for the timer. your parking there. you aware of your surroundings so the car is. 2 in any door or take over the steering wheel also tells me the brake panel and told the speed. it's tell me what i can do and what i can do and the rest, it's doing it itself and i can tell. time is running. we're at 20 seconds right now . the cars breaking up into the swap station. i'm not doing anything. no exhilarating, not breaking, not steering everything is done purely by the car. by no me. with all automated systems, it's wise for the driver to keep checking for obstacles or people more. so now i can press stop paul swap perry. this may take some time briefly. vehicle of inspection shifting from neutral block to start. during this time,

the vehicle may shake and make knowing. this is normal. you're not open any door here or press the brake pedal. so we'll wait. it says 3 to 5 minutes. we'll see how long it actually takes. we're at $147.00 right now. i mean, the cool thing about if you can stay in the car, imagine if it's raining, then you don't even need to get out to charge your car. you simply get driven in weight and you call it. you can check your fall in some e mails or something while everything else is done for you. that's pretty need 2 and a half minutes. right now. i felt that god going up. i was out, but i was warren. so it's okay now because going back down, right now we're at 3 minutes. 12 seconds. car is still off, so i guess we're not finished yet. it will turn back on once i can drive all that

and i'll stop the timer. i 4 minutes, 5 seconds. cause going back up, i guess. now we're getting the new battery near. likely to offer a 150 kilowatt hour. a battery from 2024 cars going back down. nobody's coming back to life. elise, she's lookin ah, car. did some sounds, but it's not yet on. there also still is a red light. i don't know if you can see this on the outside. that probably tells me not to drive on right now, but the car is still off so i wouldn't be able to drive any way i. so now the light is green. i can drive out, stop the timer, i. so all in all we had a time of 6 minute, 20 seconds, but all of it. so getting the car into the swap station and then the swap process

as it took like 3 to 5 minutes just as neo claims. but 6 men and 20. he won't charge a battery at a regular charging station in that time, so it's pretty fast. i know that we swap the battery. we should also talk about the other things. the pricing is 1st. as of now, you don't have to pay anything if you want to swap the battery, it is like some sort of test procedure that neo goes through. and that's why you don't have to pay anything in norway where the technology already exists a little longer. you will pay are all $9.00 to $10.00 euros per swap and then added ease, of course, the kilowatt hours that you use. so if you bring your battery in at like 30 percent, you will pay for the 70 percent. you get with the new battery that if swapped inside your car, the price per kilowatt hour will be similar to that at

a regular charging station meal on the off of the car. and the battery is always battery as the service. so it stays with neil and the, with the owner of the battery, you will have to pay a monthly fee for the battery that starts somewhere around 165 years in germany for that a small, 75 kilowatt hour battery. and you will have to swap included. busy per month and though you cannot take swaps that you didn't use into the next month, you only you have to per month. but in fact, that's enough. because now let's talk about necessity. you don't always need to swap your very because the usual case where you will use your car is to go to work. and then you will charge your guy delia at home or at your work place. and only if you don't have one of these, then you would use to swap stations more regularly.

obviously, the 7 in all your cars can be charged as regular charging stations. and we have more than $65000.00 of these. in germany, you can use almost any of these except maybe for test loss by the other. no problem whatsoever. you can use them and charge your car. the maximum power of charging. it's $140.00 kilowatts right now. and that takes around 30 minutes to charge the car from 20 to 80 percent in if you put it to you all box with 11 kilowatt or on 78 hours, but you do that overnight, so the car is full in the morning. it's no problem. and it doesn't matter if it takes have an 8th or maybe 9 hours, it will be full in the morning. battery swapping is to go to technology when it

comes to recharging a car fast. additionally, it ensures you always have a healthy battery in your car when it comes to everyday youth. it makes more sense to reach out to the car either at your wall books at home or at a charging spot near. you work place. that way, he will not have to make a detour to the swamp station, and it will also save you $9.00 to $10.00 euros for this will process you will have to pay in the future. neal wants to install more than one swap stations throughout germany, mostly at locations with high traffic density, or close to major connecting highways. prices for the $87.00 in germany started just under $70000.00 euros. renault was still running its moscow production line in may 2022,

as shown by this russian state, television report, but big changes were a foot 2 months later, in the se, moscow factory. all trace of reynold badging had gone in its place, was the brand mosque of it. in cyrillic, letters, employees gave optimistic interviews to russian state tv for chosen where we planned to get to work now to restore the workshop, to normal conditions and prepare for production and others. can moscow which make to come back. the brand still enjoys cult status in eastern germany, where enthusiasts, stage mintage, car meets them, but the stock is soviet vehicles were even to unglamorous for the g d r and imports dried up in the early eighty's, when moskowitz went bankrupt in 2006 reynold took it over as it sought a foothold and the growing russian car market. but after russia's war on ukraine, most foreign manufacturers and

a large number of suppliers left the country, including reno, the production and sale of new vehicles collapsed as revealed by satellite imagery . in fact, in may 2022 reno's production facility. now the mosque of its factory stood largely empty. and there were also hardly any new cars at the st. petersburg docs and trans shipment points. but russian government officials were already working to set up new trade alliances, a premier, it was ads among the asian countries. there's china, turkey, and indonesia. for example, just to help them be heart of the production of or know cars. mainly moscow will be transferred to toyota. it didn't show it's all about the dacha duster model, but it's short. i really am about the russian government was also keen to revive its own brands. despite the estimated 1500000000 euro investment needed to resume production at the reno facility. in july, a russian

t. v reporter presented 5 new planned models and the ambitious target of 600 new mosque of inches by the end of 2022, featuring air conditioning, automatic transmission, driving safety systems, and some, even with electric motors. the plan sounded especially ambitious when you consider that the former renault plant is just a vehicle assembly site crucial components such as airbags, abs, and ball bearings are no longer produced in russia. we spoke to a russian car journalist who now lives abroad about moscow's automotive aims. good, good about those below regarding the musk of a tree. longevity, you have to remember that we haven't built our own cars for 20 years live, you know, it takes 5 years to develop a new car. there no manufacturers of electric components in russia, or there are no gear boxes. no engines,

no design schools. and you can't just make them suddenly appear again. yes. will that all? yes. but how to mask of its hands. feel about to come back in the eastern german town of tongue and wound at $57.00. moscow. bitches of all colors gathered at the harbour in mid august 2022. there were even some rare ones. like the mosque of it's for a one the very 1st of its generation. every parts down to the last group from the original year of manufacture. 1954, the highlight. the crank, which can be used to start the car. ah. another classic. this 1964 most cabbage 4 o 3 owner hall. now shank worked on the brand when he was a mechanic in the former east germany. today he owns 3 of the 408 mosque of it is still officially registered in germany. he seemed skeptical that a reborn version would catch on there. that i know the actual book or

whether they will be appreciated like these old vehicles that we have here now. and whether there will be a ready clientele for the new models is a complete unknown rocker. but it will be difficult to gain a foothold there. now is for sure, father, hardly any of the fans were excited about the prospect of new mosque of inches coming out of the moscow factory. when roots presumed, we'll try and use technology that will probably not get approved for the european market. i don't believe it or vision marked to be less int. he came out. if a big company got involved in a western company like then maybe things could work out, feel more than mocked us, but then it would no longer be a mosque which in russia, the reactions were equally pessimistic. yet i'm afraid they're just assembling a car built by another manufacturer on history. it's a lot more. we must kristin. they won't building new mosque rich because it's far

too expensive. toya died for cold. ah so what has become of the production sites? german car manufacturer is used in russia this mercedes plant and a moscow industrial park scene here and may 2022 was only inaugurated in 201-9250 1000000 euros were invested here and probably completely written off. some workers have reportedly remained. they're on reduced hours. it's a similar picture at volkswagen in hulu. guess south west of moscow. the satellite images are also from may. but in march, the only visible people on site were security person out the official line v w employees in calgary are still on shore time work. we are observing further developments here and are considering various future scenarios. east of moscow,

initially novgorod v, w was involved in the production of gas group vehicles. but here to the german company withdrew after rushes, invasion of ukraine. it said, that's why v w has already formerly closed its offices. nation enough, got half of the employees there, accepted offers to leave voluntarily. the gas factory specializes in commercial vehicles, but it also produced the iconic, vulgar range of cars until 20 tad in soviet times folders where the vehicles of choice for the authorities. decades later, they remain popular with collab stares around 580 evils as are still registered in germany. after v w walked away from gaz, the russian government announced it wanted to revive the vulgar brand to. but as with the mosque of ich, the hurdles are high. oracles, grove,

gaz will not succeed in reviving the vulgar firstly because for this you need engineers and designers. and secondly, for a modern car you need technology. i woke up with the gas side is not only primitive and mediaeval, the modern diesel engine that the gas cars will be fitted with support is an old renault engine that the french discarded as useless started digital ergo, another german firm, b, m w, has had to reassess a long standing partnership with a russian car maker. since 1990. 9 after taught in the russian enclave of kalynne and grad, has been assembling vehicles for b. m. w. in february 2022. the german firm expanded its production contract there until 2028. however, when russia unleashed its war against ukraine, b, m. w withdrew. and when you, my hamster, we understand that it is not your internal decision issue. this was due to unprecedented pressure. miss brittany,

so far our career partners are still supporting us smith. good credit, you know, to put their route. but what about that extended b m w contract. the company says, currently no production contract exists due to the geopolitical situation. we have ceased production at the manufacture and halted vehicle exports for the russian market. then there's lot of the legendary russian car maker from toyota, he unable to river, is still the country's most popular car, brad. but in 2012 it had to submit to a joint venture with red, no nissan, to guarantee the supply of parts lad to was thrown into doubt when majority owner reno. nissan quit in march 2022. but production lines have been reading again since june 2022 in order to boost lot of sales and russia. the government issued a loan program, buyers of cheaper ladas like the granta,

with the basic specifications, receive a discount of up to 20 percent. the goal to get up to 500000 cars, rolling off the assembly line as early as 2023 basic specifications include airbags, radio and air conditioning with abs, and e s p to follow in the next 2 years. even an electric lot as being considered. however, analysts have cast doubt on the plans, both the prestige project, latter x ray and currently the most modern lot, vesta are made up of at least 60 percent imported parts. for the time being full production is on hold. he left, the mother in law does case, it's fake production, food or something is being assembled there but not to completion, but also because there is nothing to finish the products or a law. the vesta was a very good base for potentially decent vehicle. i give good but how they handle the sales network. it was a disaster food. i remember the growth nuclear not us are the most popular russian

cars in germany. 2 of the $28000.00 russia made cars registered. 26000 are lot on top of the heap. the robust for by for louden eva as of november 2022 lattice were still on sale in germany with many waiting to be driven home from dealers for courts. it's a similar picture across the u. russian latter dealer victoria ankle, who specializes in spare parts for lot us is not worried. we are more of the value for the we've been doing this for 23 years, uncle to meanwhile, we have established good business relationships with various suppliers from different countries. this means that we not only get the parts from russia the call, but from other countries to i'll, because many items are not just produced in russia. norfolk, in addition, we have one of the largest spare parts warehouses in europe. robot de ranko was

still expecting a last delivery of lot as ordered before russia's war on ukraine. but it's still unclear how an independent russian auto industry can catch up with a world market. mm hm. video grow by the any mold in really got the agenda. not the one is with
