Electric MG E-motion Coupe Set For 2019 Launch

Electric MG E-motion Coupe Set For 2019 Launch

The MG E-motion - an electric coupe concept first revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2017 - is set to spawn a production car in 2021, bosses have confirmed. The original concept had a range of 310 miles and could do 0-62mph in less than four seconds, thanks to a twin-motor set-up delivering four-wheel drive. The production version could return up to 250 miles of range on the official WLTP efficiency cycle, and MG plans to launch the E-motion as its flagship vehicle in two years鈥?time. 鈥淭he E-motion is coming,鈥?said MG UK鈥檚 head of product and planning Matthew Stevens, speaking to DrivingElectric鈥檚 sister title Auto Express. 鈥淭hat car is real and it鈥檚 a couple of years away. 鈥淲e think it is in almost a unique segment, especially in Western Europe, because there鈥檚 no other car doing what it does in that class. The MG E-motion is set to use a modular electric-vehicle platform designed by Chinese firm SAIC, its parent company. However, the scissor doors and curved glass roof that featured on the concept are unlikely to survive the transition to production.

鈥淭he E-motion has some incredible tech,鈥?added Daniel Gregorious, MG鈥檚 sales and marketing boss. Earlier this week, MG announced that its first electric car - the ZS EV - would go on sale in September with a launch price of 拢21,495. Volkswagen鈥檚 ambitions don鈥檛 end with today鈥檚 models. We reveal the tech that鈥檚 coming soon and lift the lid on the forthcoming ID. Volkswagen鈥檚 electric future is already mapped out. But what would the electric VW of 2030 look like? Don鈥檛 let the e-Golf鈥檚 resemblance to a regular Golf fool you - this is a car packed with innovative design and technology. Identifying the Volkswagen I.D. The first model from the Volkswagen I.D. 2020. We lift the lid on the new car, the versions that鈥檒l be available and, referencing the concept, the technology we can expect to see. The best four-wheel-drive electric cars offer great traction and acceleration. What are lithium-ion batteries? Lithium-ion batteries are found in most electric vehicles, but what exactly are they and how do they work? The wallbox charger grant makes installing a home charger cheaper and easier. Is buying a used electric or hybrid car a good idea?

To get the car to market in 2020, engineers and designers on the project (called Team Edison) did more computer modeling and skipped some clay models (time-consuming and costly) until later in the design phase. To emulate the volume knob that would be bonded to the bottom of the 15.5-inch center stack display, they used pieces of cardboard and a Keurig single-serve coffee cup for an early mockup. Ergonomics warming: The actual volume knob is just as slippery to the touch. From early sketches to clay models to corporate approval to ordering the projection tools, the period was about a year. Ford鈥檚 research turned up buyer confusion: Many believe electric vehicles need gasoline, caused by the uncertainty of what鈥檚 a battery electric vehicle versus plug-in hybrid versus hybrid. They doubted how well an EV would be in snow or cold weather. They suspected automakers鈥?hearts weren鈥檛 100 percent behind EVs and believed some efforts were to comply with rules and statures.

They feared being stranded, not knowing how to find charging stations, and waiting a long time to recharge the batteries. All that led Ford to conclude it needed to work with a loved nameplate, which meant Mustang or F-150, and Mustang is what was chosen. Buyers will decide in a year. Meanwhile, the Mach-E intro as a marketing event was a smashing success. Ford opened its configuration/order site on Sunday. 500 deposit, refundable, holds your place in line. The cockpit of the 2021 Mustang Mach-E. These are the five trim lines or model variants. Batteries are 75.7 kWh hour standard range (SR) or 98.8 kWh extended range (ER). All cars have a big electric motor in back; all-wheel-drive Mach-Es have a second, smaller motor up front. Power ranges from 255 to 459 hp, torque from 306 to 612 pound-feet. The range runs from 210 to 300 miles. Peak horsepower, torque, and acceleration all depend on whether you have rear- or all-wheel-drive, and even on the battery size.
