Yeah ! We must be aware of "the purely accounting aspect of the economy", which sometimes does not cover any physical reality.

The examples are sometimes derisory: the measurement of the GDP, in certain countries, and not the least, includes the trade of peripatetic women, as well as the small trade of illicit products in the "cities".
It would be enough for France to do the same to win a place of GDP in the concert of nations (I believe that some people think about it).

The economy is a bizarre thing, and having only a distant relationship with real life, merely reflecting the exchange of values; it is enough to attribute a value to what did not have to upset the economic equilibrium. For example giving value to hydrocarbons and minerals buried underground, or to domestic work, or to the beauty of a landscape, or to the virtue of a social practice ...

[In pictures] Jaguar resurrects Type E in electric version

Cédric Soares Factory New the 24 / 08 / 2018

Jaguar announced, Friday August 24, mass production of an electric version of the mythical Type E launched in 1961. The manufacturer has reused many elements developed for the I-Pace SUV to electrify the vehicle.

The propulsion develops a power of 220 kW and allows an acceleration of 0 at 62 mph (100 km / h) in 5,5 seconds. Jaguar says that "many components of the I-Pace Jaguar have been used for electrical conversion.

If the finishes are faithful to those of the 1960 version, the dashboard has been digitized. For current Type E owners, Jaguar also suggests offering a conversion service from their model to electric.

Yes moinsdewatt it is the race to fish for the consumer, and to do in ecology, we make cars that exceed the ton to transport 90% of the time 80 km of human, and overpowering to roll at 55km / h average on its lifetime.

The problem is not new, how many cars consume less than 3 liters at 100Km (except cars without a license).
Which car is flanged at 135Km / h ...
The electric vehicle is green, but mostly green dollar.

Expected in the second half of 2019, the DS 3 Crossback e-tense will be PSA's first electric car based on the new e-CMP platform.

14 September 2018

Exit city, hello crossover! Appearing in 2009, the DS premium city car is completely renewed to give way to a crossover. Entirely redesigned, the model will compete with the Audi Q2 or the Mini Countryman and will be declined for the first time in 100% electric version.

"DS 3 CROSSBACK, DS Automobiles writes a new chapter in its history: that of electrification. In its E-TENSE version, DS 3 CROSSBACK is 100% electric, with zero compromises on style and performance, "said Yves Bonnefont, General Manager of DS Automobiles.



350 km of autonomy WLTP

On the technical side, the DS 3 Crossback e-Tense is rather faithful to the characteristics announced on the eCMP. Developed by PSA and the Chinese group Dongfeng, this platform dedicated to the electric vehicle was presented two years ago.

More powerful than expected, the electric motor offers 260 Nm of torque and accumulates 100 kW (136 ch) of power, ie 21 ch better than the 115 horses announced during the presentation of the first platform. If he does not give any indication as to the top speed of his electric car, the manufacturer promises an 0 50 km / h shot in 3.3 seconds and an 0 100 km / h crossed in 8.7 seconds.

Offering 50 kWh of capacity, the lithium-ion battery on board the 3 e-tense 300 announces up to 450 kilometers of autonomy in the WLTP cycle, XNUMX km according to the old NEDC standard.

Refill up to 100 kW
On the charging side, the DS 3 Crossback e-Tense goes beyond the performance initially indicated. While the on-board charger will tolerate up to 11 kW, against 7 kW previously announced, the fast charge can go up to 100 kW according to the Combo CCS standard. Count 5h00 for a complete recharge via a wallbox in 11 kW and 30 minutes for a charge to 80% on a terminal 100 kW.

Features that should be found on the other electric cars announced by the PSA group such as the Peugeot e-208 or Opel e-Corsa, also expected next year.

2019 second half launch
Expected in 2019, the DS 3 Crossback e-tense does not announce tariffs yet. As part of the group's electrification strategy, it will be marketed alongside the plug-in hybrid SUV DS 7 Crossback e-Tense.

I think we have to look at hybrids and for the city of the electric bike and consort!

An electric car boom could destroy many jobs, mainly among small subcontractors

Less complex, with fewer parts and components, and requiring less maintenance than its thermal equivalent, the electric car will be without a part of the current automotive workforce. This is apparent from a report published in early September by ACEA, the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers, which calls for a transformation of mobility at a sustainable pace and not brutal.

While MEPs propose that by 2030, 40% of new cars sold in Europe are low CO2 emissions, European automakers are waving the specter of job destruction. In a report (1) published in early September by the ACEA, the association of European car manufacturers, they believe that the impacts of too abrupt deployment of the electric car will be harmful to employment, especially for petty cash. -traitants.

According to the calculations of the FTI Consulting, which carried out the study, European suppliers and manufacturers should produce respectively 38% and 17% less parts. In fact, the fact that the electric car is simpler than its thermal equivalent. It requires six times fewer parts and has less 60% components. What's more, it rarely breaks down, which will not help the garage business.

Relocate battery production

"The entire European production chain will have to be transformed at a sustainable rate, thus protecting employment and the long-term viability of the sector", argues Erik Jonnaert, secretary general of ACEA. “Automakers are eager to move as quickly as possible towards zero-emission vehicles. However, this report clearly shows that overly strict CO2 targets, as well as an unrealistic sales quota for electric vehicles could lead to serious problems. structural in the EU. "

Another argument put forward by manufacturers is the shortfall due to batteries which, according to their estimates, will represent 35 to 50% of the cost of electric cars. However, these are now produced on the other side of the world. To overcome this obstacle, MEPs also advocate support for the manufacture of batteries in Europe. "This is an opportunity to breathe new life into the EU's manufacturing sector, to invest in innovation and to stimulate economic growth," said MEP Miriam Dalli.

But according to the ACEA report, even batteries produced in the EU would have a small impact on employment. If CO2 emissions were reduced by 30%, this would allow the creation of 51 000 jobs in the battery sector, but only 2 000 jobs would be generated in a 40% emissions reduction scenario. Today, 13 millions of Europeans work in the automotive sector, it is 6% of the active population.

Should we cry about their fate? Frankly I do not know: Pollution deaths matter more than their jobs !!

... how many cars consume less than 3 liters at 100Km ...

I think we have to look at hybrids

Cars that make less than 3 liters at 100 km are rare.

Consumption.jpg (372.67 KIO) Accessed 4044 times

There is no cheating. I specify that my car is a hybrid NOT rechargeable therefore 100% thermal.

In winter, consumption is higher because the heat engine is often triggered only to maintain the interior temperature. You can stop the thermal (even when driving) by setting the temperature to "LO", but you have to drive with the windows open because of the fog.
