Tesla cuts waiting time for Model Y cars in China to a minimum of 4 weeks Tesla has cut the waiting time in China for some Model Y SUVs to as little as four weeks and 12 weeks for the Model 3 sedan. SHANGHAI -- Tesla has cut the delivery waiting time for its Model 3 and Model Y cars in China as it ramps up output at its Shanghai plant after upgrading production lines. The waiting time for the rear-wheel drive Model Y SUV is now four to eight weeks, while buyers of other versions of the SUV and Model 3 sedans need to wait for 12 to 20 weeks. Tesla previously said a buyer in China had to wait for eight to 24 weeks after placing an order for the best-selling models. Tesla confirmed the shortened waiting time, first disclosed on the company's Chinese website, citing the output ramp-up at its Shanghai plant as one of the reasons. The automaker usually delivers more of its cars produced in Shanghai to Chinese customers in the latter half of each quarter, which also brings an acceleration in deliveries, the company said. Tesla has completed a major upgrade of the production lines at its Shanghai plant, its most productive manufacturing hub, and is ramping up output with a target of making 22,000 Model 3 and Model Y cars combined each week. CEO Elon Musk has said production is a bigger challenge for the company than demand. Tesla is struggling to increase output in its Berlin and Texas plants, while production losses during a two-month COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai hurt Tesla's profit margin in the second quarter. The company has stopped taking orders for its Cybertruck outside North America, and also for Model 3 Long Range vehicles in the United States and Canada, citing big delivery backlogs. (Reuters)

Chinese EV automaker, BYD has continued its recent expansion efforts into Europe and the global market. The company recently announced its entry into Denmark where it appointed Nic. Christiansen Group as its nationwide dealer. BYD passenger cars will be gracing the Danish landscape for the first time, and the first BYD store will be situated in Copenhagen in Q4 of 2022. BYD has sped up its global expansion with its entry into Thailand, Australia, Isreal, and Singapore. The automaker has also established its presence in Sweden and Germany in addition to its entry into the Japanese market. In Japan, BYD introduced the BYD Seal, Yuan Plus, and BYD Dolphin. As with other markets, BYD chose a local partner to handle product support and customer service. BYD’s latest partner – Nic. Christiansen Group – is a prominent dealer in Denmark with a string of dealerships scattered across the country. The dealerships will offer sales and service support in addition to online resources for BYD passenger vehicles. In the announcement, the manufacturer also revealed that its Danish website will become operational in late August. Michael Shu, General Manager and Managing Director for BYD Europe, said: “It’s a great pleasure to partner with Nic Christiansen Group as we introduce our market-leading technology and some of our latest electric passenger vehicles to customers in Denmark. Further speaking, he said: “Customer service and product satisfaction is always our priority, and BYD values local partnerships to give customers high levels of localized sales and service support. I do believe that with a combination of BYD’s cutting-edge technology and Nic. Christiansen Group’s local knowledge and experience, we will achieve our shared vision of accelerating electrification in Denmark.” On the other hand, Niels Vrist Bertelsen, CEO of Nic. Christiansen Group, said: “We have the experience and the resources to lift BYD into the Danish market. The market is ready for a brand with BYD’s range and quality. I am convinced that our wish to be a Scandinavian key player in the car market, along with the mutual desire from BYD, makes us a good match, starting an effective long-term commitment to our markets.” Although the automaker didn’t specify which models will be offered in Denmark, it is believed that it will be any of the Yuan Plus, Seal, or Dolphin, or all three. This is not the first time BYD will be selling vehicles in Denmark as the company had sold electric buses in the country as far back as 2011. In 2021, the Chinese automaker marked its entry into the neighboring Norway, and in sold 1000 BYD Han models by the end of that year. (chinacarnews)

BMW M tests fully electric high-performance model +++ Four e-machines plus integrated driving dynamics regulation +++ BMW M driving experience 2.0 A new chapter is starting in the fully electric future of BMW M. A team of developers from different departments is collecting their first experiences of innovative drive and suspension control systems for the fully electric BMW M high-performance automobile of the future, with initial test drives and a concept car. At the centre of the concept testing is an all-wheel drive system comprising four e-machines and an integrated driving dynamics regulator. Together, they provide an as-yet-unreached level of performance. With the completely new drive concept, BMW M is demonstrating its ability to carry the essence of the letter M into the world of locally emission-free mobility. Exactly 50 years after its founding, BMW M GmbH is in the middle of a transformation process heading towards electric mobility. “For our anniversary, we are not just looking back, but also forwards,” says Franciscus van Meel, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW M GmbH. “Before the end of the year, we will begin production of the BMW XM, our first high-performance automobile with a V8 M hybrid drive.” M xDrive all-wheel drive with four electric motors dressed as a BMW i4 M50. A BMW i4 M50 with a chassis modified for the integration of the specially made high-performance constructions on the front and rear axle serves as a test vehicle for the BMW M GmbH engineers, with the right genes in terms of the dynamics and electrification typical of BMW M. The core of the revolutionary high-performance drive is an electric M xDrive all-wheel system with four electric motors. As all four wheels have their own electric motor, they offer completely new possibilities for infinitely variable, extremely precise and very rapid distribution of drive torque, which cannot be achieved with traditional drive systems. “Electrification is opening up new degrees of freedom for creating the typical dynamism of M,” says Dirk Häcker, head of development at BMW M GmbH. “We can already see that we can maximally exploit this potential to ensure that our high-performance sports cars will continue to offer the unparalleled combination of dynamism, agility and precision typical of M in a locally emission-free future.” Highly integrated control unit for vehicle dynamics and drive control. The precision during the transfer of drive torque in particular benefits significantly from the electric M xDrive four-wheel drive system. The four motors are connected to a central, highly integrated control unit that permanently monitors the driving condition and the driver's wishes. The ideal power transmission to the road is calculated within milliseconds from the values for the accelerator pedal position, steering angle, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, wheel speeds and other parameters. The signals for this are transmitted just as quickly and directly via a multi-plate clutch and differentials to the four motors, which are able to implement them immediately and precisely. This form of vehicle dynamics and drive control was brought to practical maturity in intensive development and test phases, initially on virtual models and then on test benches. For completely realistic application of the hardware and software developed for this purpose, the concept test vehicle is now being put on the road. The interior of the four-door coupe is equipped with extensive measuring technology that can be used to analyse in detail every completed driving situation. In this way, the theoretical results for the perfect distribution of drive torque can be compared in the rolling test laboratory with reality on the road and taken into account for further programming. This detailed work is crucial to ensure that future high-performance models will also be characterised by exactly what has rendered BMW M automobiles unmistakable for the last 50 years: a linear build-up of drive power and lateral dynamics that permits controllable handling right up to the limits. The fact that this limit range is shifted even further by the pioneering drive principle was already apparent during the first test kilometres of the concept test vehicle on closed-off roads. Thanks to the particularly sensitive dosage of drive torque and conversion without perceptible latency, significantly higher cornering speeds can be achieved, even on rain-soaked or snow-covered roads, for example. In this case, the vehicle steers effortlessly and without a tendency to understeer, as the drive torque for the outside rear wheel has already been increased parallel to the steering angle. The high-performance character of the new drive system is also evident in the recuperation of braking energy. Right up to the limits of driving dynamics, the four motors can assume the function of a generator when braking before a bend, for example, and feed electricity back into the high-voltage battery.

Lascia stare paragonare prezzi auto tra USA e Europa. Le auto in Usa sono una cosa, dove il amerivcano medio non e essere pronta per pagare molto, erano sempre meno care la. D'altra parte ci sono costi di vivere molto alti in altri settori, esempio: la figlia di un amico lavora per qualche anni come postdoctorial ricercatrice alla UCSF e paga per la sua appartamento (un po meno come 80mq) a SanFrancisco la bellezza di 4000.-$ al mese.

Si certo, devi comprare una ad un conce in USA e spedirla.

Mercedes, Ferrari seek electric edge with high-end motors Mercedes and Ferrari are turning to axial flux electric motors to generate headrest-hitting torque. When drivers of future Mercedes-Benz AMG models hit the accelerator of their electric performance cars, they will get extra power out of the batteries from something that sounds straight out of the movie Back to the Future. No, not flux capacitors, but axial flux motors. Mercedes and Ferrari are turning to this type of electric motor to generate headrest-hitting torque. Axial flux motors are much smaller than predominantly used radial motors yet pack a more powerful punch. High-end motors like these will be crucial to brands like AMG and Ferrari as they race to electrify the high-performance vehicles that earn prestige and bumper profits. All EVs offer the sensation of instant acceleration, from Nissan’s Leaf to Tesla’s Model S Plaid. Whereas in the combustion age, quicker times off the line and higher top speeds were achieved with more engine cylinders, manufacturers will differentiate performance EVs by getting the most out of batteries with lighter and more efficient motors. “The power-to-weight ratio is really a record number, and much better than conventional motors,” Markus Schaefer, Mercedes’s chief technology officer, said of the automaker’s upcoming AMG electric vehicle platform. “It will make use of the small size of the motor.” With each press of the accelerator, EV drivers push hundreds — and in some cases thousands — of amps of electric current to copper coils. When these coils are energized, they become electromagnets with attractive and repulsive forces. The magnetic force created by a stationary stator surrounding a rotating rotor produces the torque that turns the wheels of the vehicle. In axial motors, rather than have a rotor spin inside a stator, disc-shaped rotors spin alongside a central stator. This leads the flow of current — the flux — to travel axially through the machine, rather than radially out from the center. Since the motor generates torque at a bigger diameter, less material is needed. Yasa, an Oxford, England-based manufacturer of motors used in Ferrari’s SF90 and 296 GTB plug-in hybrids, uses just a few kilograms of iron for its stators, reducing the mass of the machines by as much as 85 percent. Yasa’s motors are the brainchild of Tim Woolmer, whose work on them were the focus of his electrical engineering PhD at the University of Oxford. Within a few years of earning his doctorate, Jaguar Land Rover made plans to use Yasa’s motors in the C-X75, a hybrid-electric two-seater with enough horsepower to rival the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari. While JLR ended up canceling the project due to financial constraints, Yasa’s motors found their way into the Koenigsegg Regera hybrid hypercar, followed by the Ferrari SF90. In July of last year, Mercedes announced it had acquired Yasa for an undisclosed sum and would put its motors in AMG models slated to launch starting in 2025. “If you look at the history of automotive generally, the auto companies have wanted to have the engine, their core technology, in-house,” Woolmer said in an interview. “The batteries, the motors, this is their core technology now. They recognize the importance of having long-term differentiation in these spaces, so they have to bring it in-house.” The most important aspect of axial motors is form-factor potential, according to Malte Jaensch, professor of sustainable mobile drivetrains at the TUM School of Engineering and Design in Munich. Their smaller size could allow automakers to put one motor on each wheel, which is not feasible with radial motors. Putting a motor on each wheel — or at least one on each axle — could translate into hair-raising EV driving performance. The innovation allows for torque vectoring that better controls how much power the motors send to each individual wheel for improved agility. High-speed cornering may help AMG and Ferrari drivers get over the lost roar of their eight-, 10- or 12-cylinder engines. Yasa’s motors also could completely remove the need for a powertrain on the so-called skateboard underneath the middle of an EV, Woolmer said. That would open up more space for engineers to package batteries, make more room for bigger front and rear trunk spaces, or allow designers to experiment with new aerodynamic ideas. The small size and light weight of axial motors will not just benefit high-performance cars. They are also finding a home in aerospace, leading Yasa to spin out its electric aviation division Evolito last year. The world’s fastest electric vehicle, Rolls-Royce Holdings’s electric aircraft called the Spirit of Innovation, uses three axial flux motors to drive its propeller. The aircraft can travel around 380 miles (612 kilometers) per hour, making it faster than the Spitfire fighter aircraft that was powered by a Rolls-Royce V-12 engine. “The critical thing is their efficiency,” said Matheu Parr, the Spirit of Innovation project leader at Rolls-Royce. “This allows you to keep the weight of the aircraft low.” Axial motors will not necessarily be the death knell of radial motors, which deliver higher top speeds. This led Ferrari to use two radial motors on the front axle of the SF90, along with an axial motor on the rear axle. For the 296 GTB, handling was deemed more important, so only a lighter axial motor was used between the engine and transmission. “It’s just a matter of what kind of driving experience you want to design for your customers with a specific engine,” said Davide Ferrara, Ferrari’s electric motors manager. “Different voices make sweet notes.” (ANE)

BMW to get Tesla-like cylindrical batteries in Europe from China's EVE, report says EVE will supply BMW with battery cells for the automaker's Neue Klasse (New Class) vehicles, sources said, as the automaker follows Tesla in adopting the technology. SHANGHAI -- BMW will receive large cylindrical batteries for its electric cars in Europe from China's EVE Energy, two people with knowledge of the matter said, as the automaker follows Tesla in adopting the new technology. EVE has signed contracts to be BMW's primary supplier of the battery cells in Europe for its new series of electric vehicles due to go on sale in 2025, said one of the people who has direct knowledge of the deal. The vehicles will use the automaker’s Neue Klasse (New Class) architecture and will initially focus on midsize premium models such as the 3 Series. Tesla this year started manufacturing its new larger-format 4680 cylindrical battery -- denoting 46 millimeters in diameter and 80 millimeters in length. It has said it expects the battery to lower production costs and improve range compared to the current-generation 2170 cylindrical battery. Guangdong-based EVE's batteries will be similar in size, said the sources, who were not authorized to speak to media and declined to be identified. Company filings also show EVE is planning a large cylindrical battery plant in central China. EVE, a supplier to BMW in China, did not respond to a request for comment. BMW said it plans to release some battery-related news in early September but declined further comment. The shift by BMW, which currently uses prismatic batteries, underscores growing momentum for larger-format cylindrical batteries. Prismatic batteries, which are rectangular in shape, have become the most common form of auto battery in the past two years as they can be more densely packed, saving on costs. But proponents of cylindrical batteries argue the newer larger format cells have become more cost-effective due to improvements in energy density. China's CATL, the world's largest battery maker, is also due to start supplying cylindrical batteries to BMW from 2025. Expectations are high that these batteries will also be large-sized cells. CATL did not respond to a request for comment on planned dimensions. It was not immediately clear how many batteries BMW plans to procure from EVE and CATL. EVE's deal with BMW prompted the Chinese company to announce in March that it would build a cylindrical battery production facility in Debrecen, Hungary - its first plant in Europe, according to the person with direct knowledge of the deal. BMW is also constructing a plant in the same city where it plans to produce EVs developed on its Neue Klasse platform. Government incentives are driving demand for EVs in Europe and the United States, spurring Chinese battery and EV makers to accelerate plans to set up production bases overseas. CATL announced last week it would build Europe's biggest battery plant with annual capacity of 100 gigawatt hours, also in Debrecen, to supply European automakers. Mercedes-Benz will be its largest client. With much of fresh battery demand likely to be for large cylindrical cells, Chinese battery makers which have relied on a huge domestic market where prismatic cells reign, will have to change tack like EVE and CATL, said Duan Bing, an analyst at Nomura. Eve, founded by lithium ion battery researcher Liu Jincheng in 2001 and also a supplier to Xpeng, is a much smaller player than CATL. It ranks eighth with 2.3 percent market share in China, according to data from the China Automotive Battery Innovation Alliance. By comparison, CATL makes 48 percent of the total batteries installed in EVs in China. (ANE)

..non credo e anche se sarebbe cosi, il serbatoio e riempito in 3 minuti in ogni piccolo paesino montanaro, la batteria no...

Jaguar begins polishing image as an elite lifestyle brand Jaguar's lifestyle ads aim to position the brand as the pinnacle of luxury, up there with such brands as Cartier jewelry and Hermes and Balenciaga fashions. Jaguar's metamorphosis into an ultraluxury brand is underway. The change starts with creating a more upscale perception of the iconic British luxury brand in consumers' minds. The undertaking began Aug. 8 with a new marketing campaign that features ads and videos for upscale magazines. The lifestyle ads aim to position Jaguar as the pinnacle of luxury, right up there with such exclusive European brands as Cartier jewelry and Hermes and Balenciaga fashions. "We are actually part of that world, but we don't really communicate the brand in that way. We are quite rooted in automotive tradition," said Stuart Schorr, vice president of communications for Jaguar Land Rover North America. "And as we try and elevate and move into the future, sometimes you just need a strong break." When Jaguar Land Rover CEO Thierry Bollore in 2021 rolled out his Reimagine plan that will see the current generation of Jaguars end production and be replaced by an array of ultraluxury electric vehicles in 2025, he dropped a hint of the long-term goal for Jaguar and also Land Rover: Create the world's most desirable luxury vehicles. "We made the decision to elevate the consumer-facing touch points of our brands to try and achieve being among the world's most stylish, refined and modern luxury brands without being constrained by automotive," said Schorr. The first ads feature models who look fresh from a fashion show, and only parts of vehicles are seen in many of the ads — the vehicles are in dark, monochromatic colors and are not the center of attention. "We've made this conscious effort in our advertising, in our social media and in our photography to be much more refined, much more elegant and much more modern-looking," said Schorr. More modern The campaign is not a preview of what's to come in 2025, Schorr says. That's when the Jaguar EVs arrive, all priced north of $100,000 and likely to be direct competitors to Bentley, Aston Martin and other brands with six-figure price tags. "It's not the launch of the new brand in 2025, but it is reflective of our overall corporate desire for all of our brands to be much more modern, much more contemporary, much more innovative, provocative and sometimes even mysterious," he said. The campaign also is part of Jaguar Land Rover's larger move to have dealers improve their facilities, which most have done, creating showrooms for each brand under one roof. The dealerships, aimed at improving the luxury buying experience, are equipped with areas that allow customers to sort through samples of interior fabrics and trim, paint colors and accessories and then custom-order their vehicles. The efforts reflect Jaguar Land Rover's move upmarket. Land Rover also has a growing lineup of vehicles that are priced over $100,000, and more are coming. Jaguar has been in a tough spot since the COVID-19 outbreak and microchip shortage. Production has been cut, sales are down, and scarce chips are going to in-demand and highly profitable Land Rover vehicles. The company is working off a backlog of 86,000 paid customer orders for the redesigned Range Rover and for the rugged Defender off-roader. But Schorr says the chip situation is improving and Jaguar production will increase starting this quarter. Exclusive editions There will still be some ads that focus on horsepower figures, 0-to-60-mph times and selling the deal. With current Jaguar models scheduled to end production by 2025, and no major changes coming, the plan to keep consumer interest stoked is to roll out exclusive, expensive limited production models such as the Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988, of which just 394 will be made. The vehicle starts at more than $111,000. The Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 Edition, which celebrates the launch of the classic E-Type in 1961, is another limited edition model. Just 60 were made, all starting at more than $135,000. Harper's Bazaar, Elle and Esquire are three of the magazines that will feature the new ads. Videos will appear on the magazines' social media. Road & Track will also run the ads. JLR officials would not say how much they are spending on the campaign or how long it will run. Said Schorr: "We're just at the beginning of this journey." (ANE)
