Like a lot of countries on the African continent, Ethiopia has an exceptionally low motorisation rate. Ethiopia has a population of 126 million people, but the total number of vehicles registered in Ethiopia is around 1.2 million. Most of these vehicles are over 20 years old. According to reports and.

Why did Tesla sell a base Model Y with a bigger battery than needed? Why do rural communities see EV charging as less relevant?

General Motors (GM) is investing $390 million in Kansas for next-gen Chevy Bolt EV production. Last week, General Motors announced that it would end Chevy Malibu production, one of the last gas-powered sedans Chevrolet offers in the United States. The Chevy Malibu has been in production since the 1960s, but GM has decided to shift its focus to crossover or sport utility vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs).

@GustavoMan627 In reply to GustavoMan627. There is very little battery swap in Europe and NO Battery Swap in the US. Hence, yes efficiency is very important. As Li Bin said, you pay alot for battery capacity , even with Battery Swap. Having an inefficient car, regardless of cost or size means you are just wasting range or performance or both. And battery SWAP by definition alone will always be less-efficient than an equivalent non-battery swap car.

@Neehaw Asinine In reply to Neehaw Asinine. Well, if you have a battery swap within 3 km i think efficiency it's not a priority. Most if the people use their car inside the city and occasionally you do longer trips, 100km more range or less.in my view doesn't make any difference at least not for me.

@GustavoMan627 In reply to GustavoMan627. I think Efficiency should ALWAYS be the prime concern with any EV. Lucid is definitely the most efficient EV on the market and by a big margin. The fact that Mr Li Bin had to think about it over a whole CNY holiday to make a decision, speaks volumes as to why NIO is performing so badly compared to other EV OEMs.

In another recent article, I argued that automakers had better not become complacent when it comes to tariffs against Chinese EVs. Why? Because there’s no way that lasts forever. Market forces can’t be held back indefinitely, and eventually either buyers will pressure the government to lower the tariffs or other.

The standardization of battery design and swapping systems among electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers is akin to the universal fuel compatibility in gasoline vehicles. It’s in the best interest of every EV manufacturer to adopt a common battery design for several compelling reasons. Firstly, it would significantly reduce production costs and complexity, as economies of scale could be achieved through uniform production processes.
