we are all set with what seemed closely will be to bring you the story behind the news. we ruled about unbiased information for 3 months. the, the past towards sustainable mobility will in many, many, many use cases be an electric, what the is the new best value for money v, the volvo x $30.00 will find out right now. welcome to read

the x. the see is a compact tv that the swedish call make it has aimed squarely at models like the v w i. d. 3 equals astra electric and the test them upholstery. the entry level of price for the volvo. x 30 is just around 36600 euro. what do you get? well, 1st of all, you get a bunch of assistance systems. almost anything you could wish for blind spot us is on coming traffic mitigation. it will recognize pedestrians, bicycle spike or is so in the safety sense, you get everything you need is also an meet cost and trick. vx the t features the latest generation of all those go to my take parking system which can handle both power low and perpendicular. mending fits empty spaces on either side of the call or detected when driving it speeds up to 22 kilometers per hour. and then displayed on the touch screen. as soon as the dry, the has selected a spot,

the pockets this pilot stays the vehicle into place by taking care of the steering gear, shift to accelerate, to pedal and brakes the drive. it gets continuous progress, updates my head, the display. what else do you get? a $200.00 kit, a water wheel driven car, with a 51 kilowatt hour battery that will achieve around 350 kilometers of range. if you compare that to, for example of the in the compact segment, let's say opal off dry electric vw id 3 or test the model 3. then all of these will stop. busy around 4142000 euros and even though. busy some of these will have more range than the valuable. some will also have less range and also weigh less power for price. it is way higher than that of the mobile and pricey of versions that the x, the c include the single night long range model with a bigger bass tree, reaching out to 476 kilometers. and this 40 dual motel with 315 kilowatts of power

. so what are the down sides? what won't you get in the valuable e x 30? 1 of the things you won't get is an instrument cluster. so behind the steering wheel there is nothing. if you want to know how fast you're driving the speed limit or any other information, you will find all of that in the central display in the, in full time and system that takes some getting used to. but usually after a few minutes, you will have found yourself looking at the right spot instead of searching for your current speed behind the steering wheel. and just to be set and you have a safe journey, there's volvos on board computer keeping an eye on things. the general a driving impression in the ex 30 is absolutely nice. what you would expect from a volvo. it is very comfortable. the loudness in the interior is ok as well.

nothing too loud, but also not to silence. seems to see traffic in for 6, you know, one pedal driving which is possible in old variants and shows great to come foot and increased range and other pulls that you sent to them. the range from the on board heat pump, which comes standards, accepting the single my to addition to all the way to put it to the interior of the ex 30 is to the in their opposite of the no buttons summit. the steering wheel above that's about it, leon for payment system is as usual with ball. busy i'll post the cars up, right? that's okay. it reminds you of your smartphone and it's also easy to operate above . the touch screen looks very good, it's quite bright. it's easily readable, even if the sunshine on it. it has google maps on it. so if you plan to do along

the trip, the call will automatically find charging spot along your route and then create the battery. so it's in that ideal stays to get charged. the only thing is, if you plan to charge on your own, or if you don't use the navigation, then the battery won't be pre heated ends. in worst case, it won't charge as fast as it could. would you also can see the side doors clean as well? that's not even a level for the windows because this one is right here in the center console. and what you also have in the center console is to cup holders. and if you don't need the most cop. busy of this for example, if you want to put anything else inside, then you just put that away and you can place whatever item you want to in that tray. that's pretty nice. the vehicle can be chad with friends and family via and

um, so that enables it to be moved without the key is also a remote function for checking whether the vehicle is looks and the windows are closed. the same goes for free seat single cooling the interior, activating the whole locates the vehicle. the space in the back is definitely what you would call a compact. there is almost no leg room left. it's okay. you can put it in the middle because there's a little more space or at the sides. the head room is absolutely okay. also because of the huge panoramic glass roof. but the seating position is not exactly comfortable because as you can tell, the floor is quite high due to the battery of cause. and then you will have your legs bend quite a bit and that is not a position you will want to keep for a long distance trip. the seats, as such, are quite comfortable. no questions ask, but the position isn't

the just as in the front you have no buttons in the door. instead, the window levers are here in the middle where you will also find 2 u. s. b c sockets for smartphone. charging that are also handy funding pockets in the front seat banks. while the front has a capacity of 19 liters the trunk conflicting between 318, and 904 liters of comcast. the anything you want to adjust in the car is done via the central attached is saying that is also true for the side view mirror. which by the way, look quite nice because they almost bought a list, but they need to choose the mirror adjustment from the menu in the in for payment

system. and then you do it with the buttons at the steering wheel. similar to what tests i asked, it is not intuitive, but to do it only one time a see and see the car has memory function for the different drivers. it is ok. this new stop button's the engine to get the vehicle going. the drive as simply presses the brake pedal and engages for wood over. thus using the gish, the coming up my volvo, x 30 experience. i like driving the car even though i'm not a fan of su visa, it is quite nicely motorized. the fact that you don't have an instrument cluster is forgotten after a few kilometers and the integration of google maps in the, in full time. and system is also. busy thing i really appreciate the things i didn't like where the range that is in

a small. busy and the space in the back, but all in all a very decent call the office very good, the value for money cx, the team might not be the best value e, v. but the entry level model is still a very good call at a reasonable price, despite the depth feet of space and the rate of cost, if you'd like to go fos to jewel mode to version that manages to hit a 100 k p h. and on the 4 seconds you will have to show out upwards of 48000 t arise in gemini, which is almost 12000 molds. and so the entry level version, width of all the excess he then he comes down to the question of savings speed, the cars, cars, cars, a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories that could be in a german costa. and we need to guys, wherever you are. however, up here, select what the question is. now, where should we go?

right to wherever you are, incentives your stories and your crazy car into vs. let's catch up soon on the 5 rumor or actually too many wars in trying not believe that the tv is going to die . because the traditional german legacy brands like missy, this uncle cannot compete with the upcoming chinese e v makers. so they are not on the verge of, sorry, the tone. i'm too young from the the rest. and i'm going to show you, is that the case on the are you are as long as you to go to your phone to talk to the point him venture. so you will come from the in jump out loud, shoot me. and then to walk you through how to choose onto should go up please. so that she to

the court brand don't seem to have a way to call when you talk to them. this left me who had already jump on the bunch vegan and purchased chewing electric vehicles is set the buffers. what's going on? what's happened to you that the vision is clear? a purely electric portfolio portfolio and yes, we firmly believe that the electric mobility is going to support a sustainable and so you are missing the future to disco was no longer costs. have to have massive investments in the electric vehicle sector. german also makers, including miss status bmw and folks via an over the past decade old gone to based

when i heard that vast and ultimate curse represented by me see it is we're going to give up on the electric vehicles. i quickly check out the more serious germ of financial media, such as the reports in one of those blocks which said these what and vicious goals, according to the internal plan as mister spence am to achieve more than 20 percent of itself, is fully electric cars. in 2023, however, distilled, got based company, only managed to achieve electric share of 12 percent of the approximately 12 meeting costs delivered last year. given this pace, it seems i'm realistic for the traditional german ultimate carmen status to achieve its goal of fully electric sales by 2030. and so after our runs of criticism from the supervisory board, the head of my status, ola colleen hughes has put an end to it. he's a comprehensive electric strategy,

essentially hollow thing to target. by the end of this decade, the sales ratio of my status hybrids. and electric vehicles at most retail level of 50 percent. but from this news come, we conclude that we say this and even german automakers as a whole, a balance of the box, electric vehicles, stop competing these chinese manufacturers. even though they haven't given up at all, saying they've given up is completely nonsensical. there is no such thing. i think i would like to paraphrase the single market training. yeah. the reports about the death of the electric vehicle. i'd greatly accelerate what we are seeing now. what you're seeing now is a slide in bright on the road to the electric. won't be that easy because to whomever you talk in the industry in the medium to the past, towards sustainable mobility. we will in many, many,

many use cases be an electric requirement that the industry is ready, willing and able to follow that pass for the majority of the vehicles. so the notion that invest in countries unable to compete of looking to tables collectively giving up on the electric cars and leaving, trying not to play along come therefore only be described as some people being already anxious. not long after this claim was made, some of china's own social media voices stepped forward to clarify and set the right course, attract people to various reasons. people have been feeling very anxious, whether it's about the white, a volatile themselves, the one moment they think that being surrounded by the west and the country is doomed. the next the fee, i will replace humanity, i'm a doomed. such feelings are understandable, but not particularly helpful. because you'll be able to pick our friends who is the

leading technical consultant in the european automotive industry and has also witnessed the growth of trying those electric vehicle industry. i think at the moment there is a very high attention to any new step according to the electric preclear because they have the option of electric vehicles in bold market. the see the moment the, the situation. we have plenty of prices around about political, economic lands on. right. and people are really somehow in fear of change in some respects as those voices from china and europe mentioned. the uncertainty about the future of electric vehicles may steam from the fact that we currently live in the us certain words. because so many of our previous understandings has to be negated by new circumstances. we have started to become accustomed to engaging every scene. but

when it comes to the future of ability, a highly important topic, what do the experts in europe same? uh and uh, while uh electric will be used to choose us for the industry. so there is no doubt about that. every major, we have many, many un trends they, they set the bits of electric community as to the main trends of demand for more options for the future. come full, so assess slice don't target x result cracks, money, thoughts on the end of the dream. i'm not entirely results foundation. they have also got their proponents in germany. the v is the future. to my unfortunately, our politicians have lost interest in the future. there's this professional 49 students who have, who used to be known as the godfather of the automotive industry in germany. as an academic, he pays close attention to and is optimistic about the development of china's

electric vehicle industry and is often a v i p at all facial chinese events. however, he's not optimistic about the future of electric vehicles in the european american markets. the reason stands from politics hold up. on the political side, there have been significant changes and these changes are slowing down the electric car. the main reason why electric cars are now weakening in germany in the u, who is the lack of support from the political spirit. firstly, in terms of buyers premiums, and secondly, due to the general political attitude that internal combustion engines still have a future to the point of view, i need to talk. so this is the view of professional didn't have a, as an academic of server. what have germany is major, traditional automakers has recently set about the future of electric vehicles. this is all kind of in your determine of my status. as we mentioned before,

the phased criticism from the supervisory board, because it's a business plan for a fully electric line up, but towards all the 30 wasn't all the chief of all. now here's chan she's narratives pushing back the deadline for completing this transition by another 9 years to 2039. so we want to achieve a net carbon neutral position by the end of the next a decade. but in order not to wait for that to happen in 1516 years, we have also set ourselves at the enter in target. by the end of this decade, pen achieved up to 50 percent of the journey by 2030. the net 0 carbon targets mentioned by me see, this is actually more vicious from the previous goal of achieving a fully electric sales line up by 2030. this net 0 go means that the entire product life cycle of audio vehicles, including batteries, roll material,

production, assembling, delivery, customer usage, and recycling with a chief carbon neutrality and the environmental impact of electric vehicles. so out your entire life cycle is also a focal point. for many critics in the long term, factory electric vehicles will be the predominant tab. i'm trying to think of them i could chat by 2027, know we'll be at a tipping point. so after that for electric vehicles flipping something that i see, this was the volt declaration made by the c o of folks, but you're going in 2023. furthermore, looking across other german automakers, including bmw and audi, achieving carbon neutrality is essentially a medium to long term goal for often, there's only the timelines for achieving those goals. very seeing that jeremiah

automakers are planning to execute the electric vehicle. race is therefore completely at out is the fact it's the needs. there are many voices in europe questioning the future of electric vehicles . for example, european countries, including germany on friends, significantly reduced subsidies for electric vehicle buyers not long ago, before the consolation of purchase subsidies buying electric vehicle in germany could have met it's you a government subsidy of around 45026000 euros. imagine if you had both a mid to high spec electric me, just the subsidy alone would have amounted to roughly 10 to 15 percent of the purchase price. for popular more just like the many,

this level of discount was essentially the maximum a manufacturer could offer. if you had bought a cheaper entry level, electric car price between 20030000 euros, the government subsidy. would that cost the $2.00 adults and even the other person's off the cost? but now this money is gone, so you would have to buy it. and now the price difference is that significant, and this is the most important argument. customers are withdrawing and reverting to combustion engines. so it's the big price difference between combustion engines and electric cars. most by way of comparison, china is no, a power dies for e v buyers. you can get this for running about 27000 bureaus. this 432000 euros, and this for less than 17000 bureaus of costs and cannot be considerations. undoubtedly the primary concern for most users. besides the

purchase price, however, the continuously racing electricity prices across europe. also a reason why many consumers verse hesitant to embrace the fluttering moth the 1st wave of cloud and arrows pioneers. oh, the so called early adopters have already accumulated 1st tons, positive and negative experiences. so years ago, as someone who acquired an electric car, i belonged to those early adopters. the experience of driving electric vehicle in europe these days isn't necessarily bad, but it's enough to fast track you into a mid life crisis. the experience is marked by all paid public charging stations and excited pretense electricity prices. the low compatibility of charging costs incomplete or inc, i create information about charging stages and various frustrating charging

experiences. add to the audio, coupled with wrench anxiety in her and to electric cars. all that reinforces my belief that the future of electric mobility cannot remain as it is now. i also understand better why many argue that the electric cars we see on the roads today, i'm really transitional products of costs, the dissenting voices as well. ninety's of my i don't agree because if you look at vehicles from the latest generations, for example, what our site is doing with his s and e class models, they have great range and one can manage quite well with them which device. well, not everyone, however, kind of forgot me say this s o e of costs. we kind of hope that's a common curse. well, gradually democratize the battery of technology used today in top models to more affordable models that the masses cannot accept. regardless of the future of

electric mobility will still depend on new technological advancements. but the most important thing, what we see here a bit to raise this is a 6 molar cheap that starts right away and we will have plenty of improvements over the next few years in terms of price performance, dependability as well. so this makes me confident that and next to probably the 10 foot feet of its promises to provide sustainable affordable mobility for society. again, different hours and we expect that battery technology will make significant leads forward in the next 5 years. unfortunately, it's not going to blink. we're talking about solid state batteries of your state, but at least i've also noticed that in germany, whether people are pessimistic or optimistic, i bought the car and states of electric vehicles. yes. do you believe that the future direction of outside will mess up? is electric. but kind of those traditional german comm acres which ones bone beak

this conversion to internal combustion engine technology and has been criticized from moving to slowly on to lights towards electrification. continue proving the f a clear vision of the future and they are in raising the future as that is electric, or at least high for the electric for the existing portfolio. so i wasn't boring too much if you're not able to to, to mask the car. godfather of germany believes that the future of electric mobility lice and trying to see where optimistic that the breakthrough will happen in china . no question. and we think it will also spread to europe in the us. but the question always is, what will the politicians do or do you think the politicians can back the car die or let it live? and you can predict what politicians will do, where you got this message. you never less, as we have heard from it, say this folks log in and others eaves off from that. not even fading away.

major comm acres in germany are just adjusting the pace towards full electrification and more automotive tales. next time on or as the the, the,
