what do you think? let us know in the comments on that to get to subscribe to our channels to pass towards sustainable will be the will in many, many, many use cases, b and electric. what the if this, the new best value for money v, the volvo, x 30 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

vw id. 3, i pose extra electric, i'm the test them both straight the entry level of price for the. busy mobile e 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, a serious oncoming 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 tricked vx. the t features the latest generation of all those automatic parking system which can handle base power, low and perpendicular mending fits empty spaces on either side of the car or detected when driving it speeds on to 22 kilometers per hour and then displayed on the touch screen as soon as the driver has selected a spot, the pockets this pilot stays the vehicle into place by taking over the steering

gear, shift accelerator, pedal and brakes. the drive to get continuous progress updates via the display. what else do you get? uh, $200.00 kit, a water wheel driven call 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 start. busy around $4142000.00 euros, and even though some of these will have more range than the mobile, 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 of the x, the se include the single night long range model with a bigger bath tray, reaching out to 476 kilometers. and this 40 jewel motor 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. busy that is absolutely nice. what you would expect from a volvo. it is very comfortable. the loudness in the interior is ok as well. nothing to it out, but also not to silence. seems to see traffic and for 6,

you know, one pedal driving which is possible in old variance and shows great to come foot and increased range and other post, which is fine to run the range fontes, the onboard heat pump, which comes standards except in 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. the infotainment system is as usual with valuable our pulse, the cars oper, 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 a 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 oldest, 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 shared with friends and family via an apps 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 and the zip code. the space on the back is definitely what, what's called compact. there is almost no leg room. busy it's okay, you can put it in the middle because it's a little more space or at the sides. the head room is absolutely ok 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 to us 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 lead to the trunk, conflicts in between 318, and 904 liters of comcast. the anything you want to adjust in the car is done via the central touched this site and that is also true for. busy 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 indian for payment system. and then you do it with the buttons at the steering wheel. similar to what

testable as it is not intuitive, but to do it only one time. a scene, see the car has memory function, follow the different drivers, it gives ok this new stop button for the engine to get the vehicle going. the drive is simply presses the brake pedal and engages forward over. thus using the guess 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 infill team and system is also. busy thing i really appreciate things i didn't like where the range that is in the 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 t 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 deficit of space and the rate. of course, if you'd like to go foster june mode to version that manages to hit a 100 k p h. and on the 4 seconds you will have to show out with the 48000 t arise in germany, which is almost 12000 mold. and so the entry level version with the volvo, x c. then it comes down to the question of savings versus speed. cars, cars, cars, a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories. that could be in a german coffin. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here, right? but the question is now, where should we go?

right to wherever you send us your stories and your crazy car into vs. let's catch up soon on the a rumor or actually true. many boys in china, a baby that the tv is going to die. because the traditional german legacy brands like misty this and coal cannot compete with the up and coming chinese even you make this. so they are not on the verge of, sorry, the tone. i'm too young from the the rest. i'm going to show you, is that the case or not? are you are the last few or to your frontier? thought would you please you 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, to have a window call when you talk to this left me who had already jump on the bunch vegan on purchased tool and 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 this goal is no longer costs. have to have massive investments in the electric vehicle sector, german and also makers, including this is bmw and folks buy them over the past decade. oh, gone to based when i heard that vast and ultimate curse represented by me see it as well. going to

give up on the electric vehicles. i quickly check out the most serious germ of financial media, such as the reports in honda's block, and which said, this is what i'm vicious, goes according to the internal plans. mister spins am to achieve more than 20 percent of itself is fully electric cars. in 2023. however, distilled, got based company only managed to actually use electric share of 12 percent of the approximately 12000000 costs delivered last year. given this pace it, since i'm realistic for the traditional german ultimate garment status, to achieve its goal of fully electric sales by 2030. and so after our round of criticism from the supervisory board, the head of my status, ola colleen hughes has put an end to his comprehensive electric strategy. essentially a strict vehicles quite at most retail level of 50 percent. but from this news come,

read concludes that me say this, and even german automakers as a whole, a balance of the box, electric vehicles and stop competing these chinese manufacturers. even though they haven't given up at all saying they've given up is completely nonsensical. there's no such thing. i think i would like to paraphrase the single mark twain. 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 slight and bright on the road to the electric field. we did each 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. the electric records at the industry is ready, willing and able to follow the pos for the majority of the vehicles.

so the notion that invest in countries unable to compete of slipping the table collectively giving of long electric cars and leaving trying not to play along comes therefore only be described as some people being already anxious. not long after this claim was made, some of trying those on social media voices stepped forward to clarify and set the right courts, drive people to various reasons. people have been seen in very anxious. whether it's about the why the road old 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. before being able to help to william pays are going to it's a leading technical consultant into your pin 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 electrical year because they

have the option of electric vehicles in bold market. the see at the moment the, the situation. we have plenty of prices around about political economic plan, so 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 single. 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 the task for the industry. so there is no

doubt about that. every major rule we have many, many un trends they, they have set their bits of electrical ability as to the main trend of the main formal function for the future to come full scale, assess slice don't target x result cracks, money, thoughts on the end of the dream, i'm not entirely result foundation. they have also got their opponents in germany. the v is the future. to my unfortunately, our politicians have lost interest in the future. is 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 as punctual chinese event. however, he is not optimistic about the future of electric vehicles in the european american

markets. the reason stains from politics 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 that i had a to point out. 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 use. the treatment of miss 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 tools all the 30 wasn't 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 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 and a cheap up to 50 percent of the journey by 2030 the net 0 carbon targets mentioned by me, see this is actually more vicious than the previous goal of achieving a fully electric sales line up by 2030. this net 0 gold 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 your trilogy,

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, petri electric vehicles will be the predominant power train. taken care of the market share by 2027 know will be at a tipping point. so 5 to the up or electric vehicle slipping, something that i see. this was the boat ticker ration made by the c o a 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 german automakers are planning to execute the electric vehicle. race is therefore completely at out is the fact it's

the need to how many was in your 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 by an 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, meaning just the subsidy alone would have amounted for roughly 10 to 15 percent off the purchase price for populum. all of this, 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, i guess it would have to buy it. and now the price difference assessed 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. to my way of comparison, china is no. a power dies for any buyers. you can get this for running about 27000 euros. this 432000 euros, and this for less than 17000 bureaus of costs 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 soul codes. 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 midlife crisis. the experience is marked by o paid public charging stations and excited pretends electricity prices. the low compatibility of charging costs the incomplete or inc accurate information about talking stages. and various frustrating charging experiences. add to the audio, coupled with range 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. there are these sensing 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 series 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 really a high over kind of forward let me say this s o e of costs. so 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. the most important thing, what we see here in factories, this is

a 6 molar cheap that starts right away and we will have plenty of improvements over the next 2 years in terms of price performance for the inability. excellent. so this makes me confident that elected 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 leaps forward in the next 5 years. unfortunately, it's not one of the link that we're talking about, solid state batteries of the state, but only 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 risk conversion or internal combustion engine technology and has been criticized for moving to slowly on 2 legs towards electrification. continue within

the f, a clear vision of the future and they are embrace in the future as that is electric, or at least hybrids electric for the existing portfolio. so i wouldn't worry too much if you're not able to to do most of the car, godfather of germany believes that the future of electric mobility lies and trying to see where optimistic that to break through will happen in china. no question. and we think it will also spread to europe and the us. but the question always is, what will the politicians do? 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 to be, have heard from me say this folks log in and others eaves off from that. not even fading away. major comm acres in germany. just adjusting the pace towards full
