Image
Seat presents its first electric scooter concept. It is simply called e-Scooter , and will officially arrive on the market next year. It will be equivalent to a 125 cc scooter with a combustion engine. Seat e-Scooter has a maximum power of 15 HP and a torque of 240 Nm; 0-50 km / h acceleration occurs in 3.8 seconds, while top speed is 100 km / h . The replaceable batteries guarantee an autonomy of 115 km . To charge the vehicle you can connect it directly to the electrical outlet. According to Seat's studies, the average urban distance of this type of vehicle is between 10 and 20 km per day, so it is theorizable to fully recharge the batteries once a week. source https://www.electrichunter.com/two-wheelers/seat-e-scooter-estimated-cost-each-recharge-07-euros-100-km

Tesla Cybertruck - electric pick-up with autonomy of up to 800 kilometers and all-wheel drive

Image
It really seems to have come out of a sci-fi movie, Tesla's new Pick-up, the Cybertruck , is something really out of this world. Starting with the design that really seems to come from the future or from some other planet. All at a declared starting price of $ 39,900 for the two-wheel-drive version, much less than the 50 thousand that Musk himself had announced. Describing design is difficult, it's much easier to see it in photos. However, Tesla applied a very particular constructive process. Cybertruck is built with an outer shell made for maximum durability and passenger protection. Starting from an almost impenetrable exoskeleton, each component is designed for superior strength. During the event, Musk wanted to demonstrate robustness. Franz von Holzhausen , Tesla's head of design, hit the truck door several times with a club... source https://www.electrichunter.com/tesla-electric-cars/tesla-cybertruck-electric-pick-autonomy-800-kilometers-and-all-wheel-drive

Toyota Yaris the fourth generation

Image
Toyota presents the fourth generation of Yaris , more compact and at the same time more spacious, at a price not yet declared. The new Yaris is renewed from top to bottom: the length has been reduced by 5 mm, but the wheelbase has increased by 50 mm . The merits go to the TNGA-B platform (Toyota's New Global Architecture), which also allowed the car to be lowered by 40mm with the same space for the passengers' heads. The bonnet has been extended and lowered, which allows the driver to enjoy a better view. The 15 mm lower center of gravity compared to the model currently on the market allows for better balance, both lateral and longitudinal, which translates into greater stability and less braking time . The adoption of the TNGA-B platform also allows the rigidity of the body to be increased for a greater level of safety, silence and comfort, as well as containing... source https://www.electrichunter.com/toyota-hybrid-cars/toyota-yaris-fourth-generation
