Electric cars
From a wheelchair to a roadster, the exciting world of electric vehicles!
There is no escape from an electric car. All the achievements of the last five years do not allow us to draw a different conclusion: electric cars are on the way, and they cannot be stopped. We'll show you how to prepare for it! From Beloved Child to Problem When the car was ready for mass production about 100 years ago, it meant a real revolution. Now it is possible to travel anywhere, anytime and with anyone. Neither the horse nor the railroad could compete with the unsurpassed flexibility of the automobile. Since then, enthusiasm for the car has not waned. However, there is a downside: the car consumes liquid fuel in the form of diesel or gasoline, both of which are petroleum products. The fuel is burned and released into the environment. For a long time no one cared. It’s hard to imagine now, in the first decades…

Charging network unification: interaction, direction to the future
The Decree on the interaction between different networks of electrical terminals will come into force before the end of 2015. This project will certainly allow electric vehicle owners to move around more. The problem associated with the lack of autonomy of these machines has not yet been resolved. Introduction to interoperability The government plans to issue a decree that introduces interoperability between the various networks of electrical terminals that exist throughout France. A European directive in this direction was already published at the beginning of the last quarter of 2014. Then we are talking about developing a kind of grouping of bank cards for electric vehicles. This interoperability aims in particular to allow electric car owners to travel around the country without subscribing to various operators (local authorities, EDF, Bolloré, etc.). Gireve, for...
Renault battery certificate, our expert opinion
Mobilize, a new brand launched by Renault in January 2021 dedicated to new mobility, is announcing a range of new services, including a battery certificate. What is a battery certificate? A battery certificate, a battery test, or even a battery diagnosis is a document meant to reassure used electric vehicle buyers. Since an EV battery wears out over time and with use, it is important to check its condition before buying a used EV. In fact, the cost of repairing or replacing the battery can exceed 15 euros. Indicating the state of health (or SOH) of a battery, a battery certificate is an important means of establishing confidence between sellers and buyers and an important selling point. What about the Renault battery certificate? Available from the MyRenault app for individuals, and a priori Free…
Hybrid cars: safer for passengers, less for pedestrians
According to recent studies, hybrid cars are more safe for drivers and passengers in an accident than models of the same petrol version. Are hybrids safer? According to the Road Loss Data Institute, there is a 25% less chance of injury in a collision with a hybrid vehicle than in a classic version of the same vehicle. The weight of hybrid models would seem to be the main reason for this phenomenon. In fact, hybrids typically weigh about 10% more than standard petrol models. For example, the weight difference between the Accord Hybrid and the classic petrol Accord is about 250 kg. In the event of a collision, occupants on board are less likely to be hit. In hybrid models, the battery taking up most of the car trunk space is the reason for such a big difference in…
Mazda MX-30 - real range at 90 and 120 km / h Very bad but excellent equipment and price [Nyland test]
Bjorn Nyland tested a real Mazda MX-30 mileage on winter tires in conditions similar to winter (1-3 degrees Celsius). The car did not shine, but Nyland liked the equipment and the good price of the model. He concluded that the Mazda MX-30 could be an interesting addition to a city tour. Mazda MX-30 - range test in conditions similar to the Polish winter Let's start with a small introduction, that is, with a car. Mazda MX-30 in the Crossover segment C SUV with battery o total power of 35,5 kWh. Mazda chose this low value to "lower the carbon footprint" of the car.

Kia e-Niro with a real range of 430-450 kilometers, not 385, according to the EPA? [we collect data]
There are reports from around the world that the Kii e-Niro range is 64kWh. when driving slowly, it's better than EPA measurements show, and for the heat pump version, it can travel over 400 kilometers on a single charge. The EPA procedure covers almost exactly 385 kilometers, at least 9 percent less than journalists travel around the world. As mentioned, the EPA has set the e-Niro's range at 385 kilometers. We accepted this as a real value because our experience has shown that the EPA is the least flawed procedure when it comes to EV ranges in mixed mode. Under the WLTP procedure used in Europe, the Kia e-Niro can travel 455…
Mercedes EQC and a discharged 12V battery? There are connectors under the hood, you can charge
Electric vehicles are usually more interactive than combustion models: they allow you to remotely control the air conditioner, start charging, etc. However, you should remember that the built-in electronics are powered by a 12V battery. In winter, it is worth recharging it even in brand-new cars - here's how to do it in the Mercedes EQC. How to charge a 12V battery in a Mercedes EQC The mobile app will alert us to a low 12V battery voltage. A voltage below 11V should make us take action, i.e. drive or connect the battery to the charger, otherwise the car may be immobilized, as happened with our Reader. In the Mercedes EQC, the battery electrode tips are located under the hood and can be found in the area in front of the passenger. Additional…

Nissan Leaf: what is the energy consumption while driving? [FORUM] • CARS
An interesting question came up in the Nissan LEAF Polska group/forum about the power consumption of the Nissan Leaf during typical driving. In normal driving, the response ranged from 12 to 14 kilowatt hours (kWh) per 100 km in summer and 16 to 23 kWh of energy in winter. Table of Contents Power Consumption in the 1st Generation Leaf Lots of power, little money The group's record is 10,8 kWh per 100 kilometers at less than 70 kilometers. Another driver who "goes all out" reduced his speed to 11,6 kWh/100 km (8,6 km/kWh is the result of the Nissan Leaf). But if we discard the record, the lower limit for normal leisurely driving is 12,2 kWh per 100 km in summer and 14,3 ...

Regular hybrid versus plugin - which should you choose?
Buyers looking for an economy car for the city today probably have only one right choice: in fact, it has to be a hybrid. However, you have to choose whether it will be a car with a "traditional" layout or a slightly more advanced (and more expensive) plug-in version (that is, one that can be charged from a wall outlet). More recently, the word "hybrid" did not cause much doubt. Roughly it was known that it was a Japanese car (we bet that the first combination is Toyota, the second is Prius), equipped with a relatively simple gasoline engine, a continuously variable transmission, a not very powerful electric motor and a relatively small battery. Such a set might not provide a record electrical range (because it could not provide, but then no one thought about a big ...
