hi, caesar was every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the past towards sustainable mobility will in many, many, many use cases be an electric. what the is the new best value for money v, the volvo x 30 will find out right now. welcome to read

the x this he is a compact tv that the swedish call make. it has aimed squarely at models like the v w i. d. 3 equals astra electric and the test them upholstery. the entry level of price for the volvo. 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 us is on coming traffic mitigation. it will recognize pedestrians, bicycle spike or is so in a safety sense, you get everything you need. there's also an meat policy trained to be exposed to the features, the latest generation of all those automatic parking system which can handle both power low and perpendicular meaningfulness. empty spaces on either side of the call or detected when driving it speeds on to 22 kilometers per hour and then displayed on the touch screen. as soon as the driver to select to the spot the pump is this

pilot stays the vehicle into place by taking over the steering gear shift accelerate, to pedal and brakes the drive. it gets continuous progress updates via the display oil. so you get the $200.00 kilowatt wheel driven car, with a 51 kilowatt hour battery that will achieve around 350 kilometers of range. if you compare that to, for example, uh 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 at around $4142000.00 euros. and even though. busy 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 exhaust or 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 and the input 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 x 30 is absolutely nice. what you would expect from a volvo. it is very comfortable. the loudness in the interior is of pay as well.

nothing too loud, but also not to silence things to see traffic and protection. a one pedal driving which is possible in old variance and shows great to come foot and increased range and other poles that you sent to them. the range front is the on board heat pump, which comes standards except in the single my to addition the all the way to put it to the interior of the x 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 a pulse 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 this 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. and in worse 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 sure edward's 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 the pre heating or cooling the interior, activating the whole locates the vehicle. the space in the back is definitely what you would call a compact. there is almost no leg room left. it's okay. you can put it in the middle because there'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 2 u. s. 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 conflict in between 318 and 904 liters of comcast. the anything you want to adjust in the car is done via the fence or touched this site and that is also true of. 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 that's been from the menu indian for payment

system. and then you do it with the buttons that the steering wheel, similar to what test i'll ask. it is not intuitive, but to do it only one time. a seen, see the car has memory function, follow the different drivers. it is ok. this new stop button for the engine to get the vehicle going, the drive of simply presses the brake pedal and engages forward. over of us 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. it's forgotten after a few kilometers. and the integration of google maps in the infill team and system is also. busy the 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 a 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 i see then it comes down to the question of savings versus speed cars, car 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 to your flex right the what the question is now, where should we go?

right to wherever you are and send us your storage. add your crazy car into the let's catch up soon. unwrap the room or, or actually true. money was in trying not be the that the tv is going to die. because the traditional german legacy brands like may see this on coal, cannot compete with the up and coming chinese e v makers. 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 on august the last few or 2 of your frontier thoughts would you tweak in venture so you'll come from the incumbents out loud. shooting intend to walk you

through. choose onto sure thing, one thing go up lease that she took to grand junction to have a way to call. when you talk to this last me who had already a jump on the bandwagon and purchased 2 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 the 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 mosquitoes, we're going to give up on the electric vehicles. i quickly check out the most serious germ of financial media, such as the reports in one of those blocks. which said these what and vicious goals, 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 act chief electric share of 12 percent of the approximately 12 meeting costs delivered last year. given this pace, it seems 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 miss said is ola continues, has put an end to his comprehensive electric strategy,

essentially housing the target for the end of this decade, the sales ratio of my status hybrids and electric vehicles. at most retail level of 50 percent. but from this news, complete 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 for the sake of 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, didn't right 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 the sustainable mobility. we with the many, many, many use cases,

the electrical equipment and the industry is ready, willing and able to follow that pass for the majority of the vehicles. so the notion that invest in countries unable to compete of flipping the table collectively giving up on electric cars and leaving china to play along come therefore only be described as some people being overly anxious. not long after this claim was made, some of trying those own social media voices stepped forward to clarify on set the right cord striped a bill to various reasons. people have been feeling very anxious. whether it's about the why the road will themselves. 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 or being able to help to william pace of phoenix. so

it's a leading technical consultant in the european 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 news step according to the electric clear, cuz they have the option of electric vehicles invalid watching the the see the moment the, the situation. we have plenty of prices around to the political, economic men, 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 off certain words. because so many of our previous understandings has been negated by new circumstances. we have started to become accustomed to engaging every single. but when it comes to the future of all

mobility, a highly important topic, what do the experts in europe sick? and while the electric will be used to choose us for the industry, so there is no doubt about that every major role. we have many, many new entrants. they have set the bits of electric ability as to the main trend of the main formal motion 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 results 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 professor of 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 professional chinese events. 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. the body in order not to wait for that to happen in 1516 years. we have also set ourselves at the interim target by the end of this decade, pen achieve up to 50 percent of the journey by 2030, the net 0 carbon targets mentioned by mistake. this is actually more vicious from the previous go. i'll achieving a fully electric sales line up by 2030. this net 0 go 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 neutrality 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, factory electric vehicles will be the predominant tab, trying to think of the market share by 2027 know will be at a tipping point. so after that for electric vehicles flipping something i see this was the volt declaration made by the c o of folks, but you can in 2023. furthermore, looking across other german automakers, including bmw and audi, achieving carbon neutrality is essentially a medium to long term goal for our often was only the timelines for achieving those

goals. very seeing that german automakers are planning to execute the electric vehicle. race is therefore completely at our best effects. the indeed there are many voices in europe questioning the future of electric vehicles . for example, european countries including germany on friends sick this attempt to reduce subsidies for electric vehicle buyers not long ago before the consolation of purchase subsidies buying electric vehicle in germany could have met it's you a government subsidy of around $4500.00 still $6000.00 euros, imagine you had both a mid to high spec electric mini, just the subsidy alone would have amounted for roughly 10 to 15 percent of the purchase price. for populum, all of this, like the many,

this level of discount was essentially the maximum a manufacturer could offer you if you had bought a cheaper entry level, electric car, priced between 20030000 euros, the government subsidy. would that cost the $2.00 adults and even the advert per person off the cost? but now this money is gone, but here's what applies. 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. by way of comparison, china is know, a power dies for e v buyers. you can get this for running about 27000 euro. this 432000 euros, and this for less than 17000 bureaus of cos cannot become situations. undoubtedly the primary concern for most users. besides the purchase

price, however, the continuously raising electricity prices across europe. also a reason why many consumers hesitant to embrace the beast. furthermore, the 1st wave of trial and error of pioneers. oh, the so called early adopters have already terminated 1st time, positive and negative experiences. so years ago, as someone, the full credit on the electric car belongs 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 mid life crisis. the experience is marked by all paid public charging stations, an exorbitant electricity prices. the low compatibility of charging costs incomplete or inc. accurate information about talking stages and various

frustrating charging experiences. add to the audio, coupled with wrench 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 early transitional products of costs. there are dissenting voices as well. ninety's of my i don't agree because if you look at vehicles from the latest generations, for example, what are said he is doing with its s and e class models. they have great range and one can manage quite well with them which device? well not area. however, kind of forgot me say this s o e of costs. we kind of hope that com acres well gradually democratized the battery a technology use today and talk more of those to more affordable, more of those 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 these is that the commodities that starts right away and we will have plenty of improvements over the next 2 years in terms of price performance, dependability as well. so this makes me confident that and next to probably the kind of fulfilling its promises to provide sustainable affordable mobility for society. again, different hours and we expect that battery technology will make significant liens forward in the next 5 years. unfortunately, it's not going to blink this. we're talking about solid state batteries of your 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. 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 proving the f a clear vision of the future and they are in raising the future as that is electric, or at least hybrids electric for the existing portfolio. so i wasn't boring too much if you're not able to to do most of the cod godfather of germany believes that the future of electric mobility lies and trying to see what we're optimistic that the breakthrough will happen in china. no question. and we think it will also spread to europe in 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 electrification and more automotive tales next time on or as the, the, the

so that's the base and the middle. one of the truth of the is the most of the core is edition from the west african chauncy pm conference schools. let's with that then just to the coming on

to be sure i'm out of i me think i got stuck on a piece of bicycle on it. i guess somebody who knew, but i just got out of the millions of people around the world can't attend school even though the un defines the human rights education for everyone. but how in 30 minutes on the w, the the, the dig altima beauty companies play a role in the destruction of the rain forest. i have time to raise all over brazilian reprocess 30000 hides a day. 90 percent of that is on the forward market. the auto industry, for example, the letter will actually cost awesome comes from initial cattle farms in the m,

as in. yet the automobile industry doesn't care about the supply chain profit. all that much. illegal leather stats may stood on d w, the project cassandra re determined through our investigation that has below was operating like a global drug car. not somebody normally theaters, organization. the object to financially drain has gone up and bring them down. suddenly we had in las vegas to attack a terrace organization finance. the idea is the fall of the money, the team agents from the american drug enforcement agency. i was scared. i mean, as well as another whole life, they want to do actually of money. i wanted to take down their findings. they had from lies themselves. we needed to reveal that so world and to the wrong people. why did the us government suddenly shut down project?
