10 Electric Vehicles to Watch

This was the year that Tesla’s lock on high-end all-electric vehicles began to break, with Audi and Jaguar sending electric S.U.V.s out into the world. They joined more workaday E.V.s from Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Nissan.So 2019 was, finally, the year of the electric vehicle. Right?Sales of electric autos were double those from the year before, but they were still dwarfed by their fossil-fuel-powered brethren. With a slew of new models promised for next year and beyond, and with charging station infrastructure still being built out, the tipping point for electric autos is still in the future. But automakers are betting big on that future, and how quickly the industry takes off depends not just on choice but on a shift in customer expectations. Hurdles to a breakout include higher prices, the end of federal tax subsidies for some models and a paucity of charging stations — even though the industry argues that most charging will be done at home at night. That, especially, can be a deterrent given electric cars’ shorter range. Even so, as Mark Reuss, the General Motors president, recently wrote, “just as demand for gas mileage doesn’t go down when there are more gas stations, demand for better range won’t ease even as charging infrastructure improves.”That infrastructure is growing, nonetheless. More than 21,000 locations in the United States, with some 57,000 hookups, offer Level 2 charging, which can add maybe 20 miles of range per hour. These are fine for parking at the office or overnight, but useless on a road trip. For charging to roughly 80 percent of a battery’s capacity in about a half-hour, there are 3,300 DC Fast Charging locations with 12,000 charge points. Many of these are proprietary Tesla chargers, however.A traditional car, of course, can fill up at 168,000 gas stations across the country in the time it takes to buy a Slim Jim and a Coke.The evolution toward electrics has given carmakers freedom to play with design — picture Tesla’s jagged-edge pickup — while others are sticking with tried-and-true sedans and crossovers, simply swapping out the drivetrain. Here’s a look at some of the electric vehicles that are just reaching the market, will soon be available or are expected to arrive in 2021.Audi e-Tron Sportback: A four-door coupe version of the full-size Audi e-Tron sport utility vehicle, introduced last spring, the Sportback is expected to be available this spring. Designed to look and handle like traditional Audis, the e-Tron models will feel familiar to anyone who knows the brand.The all-wheel-drive e-Tron S.U.V. charges to 80 percent of its 204-mile range in 30 minutes with a commercial fast-DC charger. Improvements in aerodynamics and battery efficiency should modestly increase the Sportback’s range.BMW iX3: BMW will start production of its electric S.U.V. next year at its plant in China. The rear-wheel-drive vehicle is expected to provide 286 horsepower and a 273-mile range, according to the European test cycle, which is more optimistic than its American equivalent.Ford Mustang Mach-E: Ford enlisted its Shelby designers to create a traditional-looking electric S.U.V. that would echo its iconic Mustang sedan. Its first version, a 332-horsepower all-wheel-drive model, will be available late 2020, with a 459-horsepower GT version expected 18 months from now.The biggest changes, beyond fuel, are inside. A new version of the much-criticized Ford Sync connect service will feature over-the-air updates. Artificial intelligence will monitor a user’s habits and suggest appropriate actions. For example, it may ask if you want to call your mother at a certain time if it notices you typically do that each day.Natural language comprehension will allow users to state commands in various ways, such as “Take me to Santa Monica” or “I want to go to Santa Monica.”Mileage will range from an expected 210 to 300 miles, depending on the model. In the “frunk,” or front trunk, the space usually occupied by an engine will offer space designed to hold ice for tailgating; a drain plug will be included.Mercedes EQC 400 4Matic: Originally expected to arrive in the States next year, the first purpose-built all-electric Mercedes will be delayed until 2021, the company recently announced. It blamed demand in Europe.The all-wheel-drive vehicle, starting around $70,000, will feature its screen-based MBUX infotainment system now used in a number of new Mercedes models. To optimize the vehicle’s range, the MBUX system can calculate the most power-efficient routes and direct drivers to high-speed charging stations. Time to charge to 80 percent will be about 40 minutes with the fastest chargers.Porsche Taycan 4S, Turbo and Turbo S: The “entry level” version of Porsche’s first electric vehicle, the 4S will be available this spring, starting at about $104,000. (The imminently shipping Turbo costs about $151,000, and the Turbo S is $185,000.)The two current models — available with 522 or 562 horsepower — will accelerate from zero to 60 miles an hour in 3.8 seconds. The Taycan has a range of just over 200 miles, and it is one of the fastest-charging E.V.s around: A DC fast charger will juice it to 80 percent capacity in 22 minutes. The company expects that by 2025, half of its sales will be either fully electric or hybrid models.Volvo XC40 Recharge: To cut costs and time to market, Volvo is equipping its existing XC40 S.U.V. with an electric drivetrain. Expected at the end of 2020, for “under $48,000” after incentives, this is the start of a Volvo product road map that will bring out one new E.V. model each year.Over-the-air updates will be available for all vehicle features. The “completely rethought” infotainment system is based on the Android operating system, with Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google Play app store embedded within the vehicle so they work without a phone. The 408-horsepower engine is expected to provide 240 miles of range. A high-speed commercial charger will fill the XC40 to 80 percent capacity in 40 minutes.Byton: Distinguished by many enormous wraparound screens, this Chinese-built S.U.V. will be sold in the United States, at a starting price of $45,000, beginning in the second half of 2021. Sales in its home country will start at the end of next year. Drivers can alter the screen display to account for whether the vehicle is moving or not, and whether the driver or passenger is watching. Artificial intelligence is combined with subscriptions to popular music and video services, and linked via facial recognition, so it will know your favorite artists. If the driver allows, the vehicle will have access to calendar events; knowing that you’re finishing up your spin class, the system could cool the car before you arrive.Available as a 225- or 300-mile range version, the Byton will be sold directly and through dealers, with its first company store to open in Los Angeles by the middle of next year.Canoo: One of several hopeful start-ups, Canoo plans to sell its namesake model at the end of 2021. Unlike several established marques, Canoo has taken advantage of the lack of an internal combustion engine to rethink the look of a vehicle.The symmetrical Canoo is positioned as “an urban loft on wheels,” the company says, with the rear seats arranged more like a sofa. To increase interior space, Canoo eliminates the traditional engine compartment and its protective firewall. The use of “steer by wire,” an electronic rather than a mechanical system, eliminates the need for various mechanical components, also allowing for more freedom in the placement of the steering wheel.Infotainment will be provided through a smartphone connection.The Canoo, with an anticipated 250-mile range, will be available only through subscription, the price of which (undisclosed as of yet) will cover the vehicle, registration, license and insurance. The subscription can be canceled or rolled over into another model when available, at any time.Faraday Future: Once left for dead after a splashy premiere three years ago, a planned Las Vegas factory that never got built, and a Chinese founder and funder who went bankrupt, the company is back with a new leader, the former head of Byton; new funding; and a rethought vehicle.Where once Faraday Future advocated the “bring your own device” approach to infotainment now promoted by Canoo, the current version of the large S.U.V. will sport 11 screens in its ultra-high-end FF91.The company claims that the FF91 will accelerate from zero to 60 in an astonishing 2.2 seconds (although it’s not clear why anyone would need to), and cost $150,000 to $200,000 when it comes out by September. If there’s demand, the company can build up to 15,000 units annually in a Hanford, Calif., plant that’s smaller than the ambitious one it abandoned in Las Vegas.The company says it will make money at that volume by selling its hardware and software to competitors. Plans for a smaller, more affordable FF81 exist, and the company hopes to enter “preproduction” by the end of 2020.Volkswagen ID4 Crozz: VW’s first purpose-built E.V., this compact S.U.V. is due in the States by the end of 2020, priced in the mid-$30,000s after tax credits. This will be followed in 2021 by a larger, Passat-size S.U.V., the Space Vizzion, and then in 2023 by the Buzz, Volkswagen’s electric version of its iconic bus. The vehicles will at first be imported and eventually built at the automaker’s factory in Chattanooga, Tenn.About the same size as VW’s Tiguan, the ID4 will have a range of 200 to 300 miles. Navigation commands will be shown in a windshield heads-up display, with arrows overlaid on the screen to show when to turn. Read the full article

Projeto de lei quer proibir venda de carro a gasolina e diesel no Brasil a partir de 2030

A partir de 1º de janeiro de 2030, a venda de veículos novos movidos a combustíveis fósseis, como gasolina, diesel e gás natural veicular (GNV) será proibida no Brasil. É o que pretende o projeto de lei 304/2017, do senador Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI). O texto foi aprovado ontem (12), em Brasília, pela Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ). Agora, será enviado à Comissão de Meio Ambiente (CMA).

INSCREVA-SE NO CANAL DO JORNAL DO CARRO NO YOUTUBE

De acordo com a proposta, só poderão ser vendidos no País veículos novos movidos a biocombustíveis, como etanol e biodiesel. O modelos elétricos também continuarão liberados. Segundo informações da assessoria do senador, os carros híbridos, que combinam motores a combustão e elétrico, também serão vetados.

O PL 304/2017 prevê ainda a proibição de circulação de veículos com motor a combustão no Brasil a partir de 2040. Questionada a respeito de o que seria feito com a atual frota circulante, a assessoria do senador informou que essa é uma questão técnica, que requer regulamentação.

Depois de passar pela CMA, o texto será enviado para o Senado para uma nova rodada de discussões. E, após ser submetido às várias câmaras legislativas, será enviado ao Congresso.  Caso seja aprovado, seguirá para a Presidência da República. Lá, ele pode ser aprovado integral ou parcialmente, ou mesmo vetado. Isso não tem data para ocorrer.

Ainda segundo a assessoria do senador, as datas das proibições podem mudar. “O objetivo é trazer a discussão à pauta e instituir uma política de substituição de automóveis movidos a combustíveis fósseis.”

Veículos oficiais estão fora da proibição

As exceções previstas no PL são veículos oficiais, diplomáticos, de coleção e carros de visitantes estrangeiros.

Em seu texto de justificativa, o senador afirma que, “se nada for feito, as mudanças climáticas resultarão em grandes tragédias, como a inundação de cidades litorâneas pelo mar e o consequente deslocamento de grandes quantidades de pessoas”.

Segundo o autor da proposta, outros países estão tomando decisões semelhantes. De acordo com ele, a Noruega pretende banir veículos com motor a combustão em 2025. A Índia, a partir de 2030. No Reino Unido e na França, o banimento seria a partir de 2040.

O senador afirma que esse tipo de veículo é responsável por um sexto das emissões de dióxido de carbono na atmosfera, gás proveniente da queima de combustíveis fósseis. E é importante agente causador do efeito estufa, que leva ao aquecimento global.

A Anfavea, associação que reúne os fabricantes de veículos, preferiu não se pronunciar oficialmente. Nos bastidores, porém, há informações de que membros de seu corpo técnico se reuniram na Comissão de Meio Ambiente do Senado, em outubro do ano passado. O objetivo era mostrar que o projeto era inviável.

Embora considere uma “loucura” mudar a matriz nesse prazo, o consultor Paulo Roberto Garbossa, da ADK, acha que “é um começo”. “A coisa é complicada e o prazo é curto, mas esse é um ponto de partida e é preciso fazer algo”, afirma.

Carro 100% a etanol já é alternativa viável e nacional

Para o engenheiro Everton Silva, da Sociedade de Engenheiros para a Mobilidade (SAE Brasil), o Brasil já tem a alternativa. De acordo com ele, o conceito para reduzir as emissões de poluentes “sem grandes mudanças” é o uso do etanol.

Segundo o engenheiro, “sistemistas e montadoras já estão prontas para lidar com a redução do consumo de emissões e poluentes com produtos movidos apenas a etanol”.

Além de poder ser utilizado em motores de melhor eficiência energética, como os motores turbo, o etanol pode servir para gerar energia elétrica com zero emissão. Esse é o projeto da Nissan, por exemplo. A montadora usa um motor a combustão movido a etanol para gerar energia para um propulsor elétrico.

Hoje, o carro elétrico é caro e inviável do ponto de vista de infraestrutura no Brasil. Faltam pontos de recarga públicos e, em determinadas épocas do ano, a energia consumida, como em outros lugares, é gerada por meio de termelétricas, o que não garante o fim da emissão de CO2.

Brasil já tem projetos com foco na eficiência energética

Além disso, Silva relembra que há cerca de dois anos o Brasil já tem projetos em vigor nesse sentido. Ele fala do Rota 2030, que estipulou uma série de mudanças para os veículos produzidos e vendidos no País, e do RenovaBio. O Rota 2030 é um programa que inclui metas de eficiência energética para motores movidos a combustíveis fósseis e estímulo à produção de carros híbridos e elétricos.

10 Electric Vehicles to Watch

This was the year that Tesla’s lock on high-end all-electric vehicles began to break, with Audi and Jaguar sending electric S.U.V.s out into the world. They joined more workaday E.V.s from Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Nissan.

So 2019 was, finally, the year of the electric vehicle. Right?

Sales of electric autos were double those from the year before, but they were still dwarfed by their fossil-fuel-powered brethren. With a slew of new models promised for next year and beyond, and with charging station infrastructure still being built out, the tipping point for electric autos is still in the future.

But automakers are betting big on that future, and how quickly the industry takes off depends not just on choice but on a shift in customer expectations. Hurdles to a breakout include higher prices, the end of federal tax subsidies for some models and a paucity of charging stations — even though the industry argues that most charging will be done at home at night. That, especially, can be a deterrent given electric cars’ shorter range.

Even so, as Mark Reuss, the General Motors president, recently wrote, “just as demand for gas mileage doesn’t go down when there are more gas stations, demand for better range won’t ease even as charging infrastructure improves.”

That infrastructure is growing, nonetheless. More than 21,000 locations in the United States, with some 57,000 hookups, offer Level 2 charging, which can add maybe 20 miles of range per hour. These are fine for parking at the office or overnight, but useless on a road trip.

For charging to roughly 80 percent of a battery’s capacity in about a half-hour, there are 3,300 DC Fast Charging locations with 12,000 charge points. Many of these are proprietary Tesla chargers, however.

A traditional car, of course, can fill up at 168,000 gas stations across the country in the time it takes to buy a Slim Jim and a Coke.

The evolution toward electrics has given carmakers freedom to play with design — picture Tesla’s jagged-edge pickup — while others are sticking with tried-and-true sedans and crossovers, simply swapping out the drivetrain.

Here’s a look at some of the electric vehicles that are just reaching the market, will soon be available or are expected to arrive in 2021.

Audi e-Tron Sportback: A four-door coupe version of the full-size Audi e-Tron sport utility vehicle, introduced last spring, the Sportback is expected to be available this spring. Designed to look and handle like traditional Audis, the e-Tron models will feel familiar to anyone who knows the brand.

The all-wheel-drive e-Tron S.U.V. charges to 80 percent of its 204-mile range in 30 minutes with a commercial fast-DC charger. Improvements in aerodynamics and battery efficiency should modestly increase the Sportback’s range.

BMW iX3: BMW will start production of its electric S.U.V. next year at its plant in China. The rear-wheel-drive vehicle is expected to provide 286 horsepower and a 273-mile range, according to the European test cycle, which is more optimistic than its American equivalent.

Ford Mustang Mach-E: Ford enlisted its Shelby designers to create a traditional-looking electric S.U.V. that would echo its iconic Mustang sedan. Its first version, a 332-horsepower all-wheel-drive model, will be available late 2020, with a 459-horsepower GT version expected 18 months from now.

The biggest changes, beyond fuel, are inside. A new version of the much-criticized Ford Sync connect service will feature over-the-air updates. Artificial intelligence will monitor a user’s habits and suggest appropriate actions. For example, it may ask if you want to call your mother at a certain time if it notices you typically do that each day.

Natural language comprehension will allow users to state commands in various ways, such as “Take me to Santa Monica” or “I want to go to Santa Monica.”

Mileage will range from an expected 210 to 300 miles, depending on the model. In the “frunk,” or front trunk, the space usually occupied by an engine will offer space designed to hold ice for tailgating; a drain plug will be included.

Mercedes EQC 400 4Matic: Originally expected to arrive in the States next year, the first purpose-built all-electric Mercedes will be delayed until 2021, the company recently announced. It blamed demand in Europe.

The all-wheel-drive vehicle, starting around $70,000, will feature its screen-based MBUX infotainment system now used in a number of new Mercedes models. To optimize the vehicle’s range, the MBUX system can calculate the most power-efficient routes and direct drivers to high-speed charging stations. Time to charge to 80 percent will be about 40 minutes with the fastest chargers.

Porsche Taycan 4S, Turbo and Turbo S: The “entry level” version of Porsche’s first electric vehicle, the 4S will be available this spring, starting at about $104,000. (The imminently shipping Turbo costs about $151,000, and the Turbo S is $185,000.)

The two current models — available with 522 or 562 horsepower — will accelerate from zero to 60 miles an hour in 3.8 seconds. The Taycan has a range of just over 200 miles, and it is one of the fastest-charging E.V.s around: A DC fast charger will juice it to 80 percent capacity in 22 minutes. The company expects that by 2025, half of its sales will be either fully electric or hybrid models.

Volvo XC40 Recharge: To cut costs and time to market, Volvo is equipping its existing XC40 S.U.V. with an electric drivetrain. Expected at the end of 2020, for “under $48,000” after incentives, this is the start of a Volvo product road map that will bring out one new E.V. model each year.

Over-the-air updates will be available for all vehicle features. The “completely rethought” infotainment system is based on the Android operating system, with Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google Play app store embedded within the vehicle so they work without a phone. The 408-horsepower engine is expected to provide 240 miles of range. A high-speed commercial charger will fill the XC40 to 80 percent capacity in 40 minutes.

Byton: Distinguished by many enormous wraparound screens, this Chinese-built S.U.V. will be sold in the United States, at a starting price of $45,000, beginning in the second half of 2021. Sales in its home country will start at the end of next year.

Drivers can alter the screen display to account for whether the vehicle is moving or not, and whether the driver or passenger is watching. Artificial intelligence is combined with subscriptions to popular music and video services, and linked via facial recognition, so it will know your favorite artists. If the driver allows, the vehicle will have access to calendar events; knowing that you’re finishing up your spin class, the system could cool the car before you arrive.

Available as a 225- or 300-mile range version, the Byton will be sold directly and through dealers, with its first company store to open in Los Angeles by the middle of next year.

Canoo: One of several hopeful start-ups, Canoo plans to sell its namesake model at the end of 2021. Unlike several established marques, Canoo has taken advantage of the lack of an internal combustion engine to rethink the look of a vehicle.

The symmetrical Canoo is positioned as “an urban loft on wheels,” the company says, with the rear seats arranged more like a sofa. To increase interior space, Canoo eliminates the traditional engine compartment and its protective firewall. The use of “steer by wire,” an electronic rather than a mechanical system, eliminates the need for various mechanical components, also allowing for more freedom in the placement of the steering wheel.

Infotainment will be provided through a smartphone connection.

The Canoo, with an anticipated 250-mile range, will be available only through subscription, the price of which (undisclosed as of yet) will cover the vehicle, registration, license and insurance. The subscription can be canceled or rolled over into another model when available, at any time.

Faraday Future: Once left for dead after a splashy premiere three years ago, a planned Las Vegas factory that never got built, and a Chinese founder and funder who went bankrupt, the company is back with a new leader, the former head of Byton; new funding; and a rethought vehicle.

Where once Faraday Future advocated the “bring your own device” approach to infotainment now promoted by Canoo, the current version of the large S.U.V. will sport 11 screens in its ultra-high-end FF91.

The company claims that the FF91 will accelerate from zero to 60 in an astonishing 2.2 seconds (although it’s not clear why anyone would need to), and cost $150,000 to $200,000 when it comes out by September. If there’s demand, the company can build up to 15,000 units annually in a Hanford, Calif., plant that’s smaller than the ambitious one it abandoned in Las Vegas.

The company says it will make money at that volume by selling its hardware and software to competitors. Plans for a smaller, more affordable FF81 exist, and the company hopes to enter “preproduction” by the end of 2020.

Volkswagen ID4 Crozz: VW’s first purpose-built E.V., this compact S.U.V. is due in the States by the end of 2020, priced in the mid-$30,000s after tax credits. This will be followed in 2021 by a larger, Passat-size S.U.V., the Space Vizzion, and then in 2023 by the Buzz, Volkswagen’s electric version of its iconic bus. The vehicles will at first be imported and eventually built at the automaker’s factory in Chattanooga, Tenn.

About the same size as VW’s Tiguan, the ID4 will have a range of 200 to 300 miles. Navigation commands will be shown in a windshield heads-up display, with arrows overlaid on the screen to show when to turn.

電進未來！2020台北車展CarStuff整理必看新能源車亮點

Written by: 邱志翔

2020台北車展今年六大主題之一的「綠能環保電動車」，終於讓台北車展也更能與國際接軌，畢竟隨著排放法規越來越嚴苛，電動車已經成為全球車壇不可避免的趨勢，台灣腳步的雖慢，但從Gogoro與它的歡樂夥伴越賣越好的情形看來，消費者也逐漸能接受新能源車，四輪電動車或許也將席捲而來，因此本屆我們可以看到當前電動車領導品牌Tesla首度參加台北車展，而Nissan展區也會有全球最熱銷電動車Leaf坐鎮，Hyundai也弄了一台Kona EV試水溫，其他像是Porsche Taycan、Mercedes-Benz EQC、Audi e-tron等各豪華品牌首款量產電動車也都會列席，讓今年台北車展增添更多綠能亮點。

 Nissan Leaf：全球最暢銷電動車

為強化「技術的日產」同時為替新能源車佈局，裕隆日產今年正式���進全球暢銷電動車霸主第二代Leaf，採單一車型149萬在台販售，自2010年初代Leaf問世起，至金已在全球販售超過45萬輛。

第二代Leaf沿用概念車IDS Concept的樣貌，V-motion 設計風格之下締造出Cd值0.28的優異表現。車身尺碼長寬高分別為4480/1790/1540mm，軸距為2700mm，A、B、C柱都採用了亮黑色處理，尾燈採用了不規則造型設計，整體造型與過去相比陽剛不少。

內裝部分二代目導入大量軟塑膠、全車Alcantara/真皮混搭座椅，中控台採用環繞式設計，操作介面為7吋數位儀表板搭配8吋多媒體顯示螢幕（支援Apple CarPlay/Android Auto）及電動車專屬排檔旋鈕，標配Nissan Intelligent Mobility智行科技，包括 IEB防追撞緊急煞車系統、ICC智慧型定速控制系統、LDP車道偏離預防系統等，另外還有 AVM環景影像行車輔助、BSW盲點警示系統與 RCTA後方車側警示系統等。

動力系統部分，Leaf 採用 40 kWh 鋰電池組搭配「EM57」電動馬達一同運作，最高出力110kW（147hp）/3283-9795rpm、最大扭力320Nm（32.6kgm）/0-3283rpm。以歐規的測量數據來看則擁有 311 km（NEDC測量值)。無論在哪個版本，使用 6.6kW 充電接頭需要8小時，若是使用快充則僅需40分鐘就能將電力充飽至 80 %。

Hyundai Kona Electric台北車展試水溫

Hyundai於2018日內瓦車展發表Kona純電車型Kona Electric，是旗下第二款純電 EV車，也於2019年起在開始在海外市場銷售，本次總代理南陽實業則是希望透過台北車展做市調、試水溫，先期計畫還是以公家機關標案為主，民用市場並非目前首要進攻的對象。

Kona Electric 維持與汽油版本差不多的個性化造型，僅有六角下水箱罩部分換上封閉式樣，另外保險桿下緣也導入三層式樣的風格，搭配全車塑膠包圍與車身側面的銀色踏板，���及專屬17吋低風阻輪圈，使得 Kona Electric 全車有著鮮明的識別，車內同樣維持相似造型，全數位儀表板新增電動車資訊，而原本排檔桿則換成 shift-by-wire 檔位控制旋鈕，還是呈現出較為科幻的樣貌。

Kona Electric 純電車型目前有二種版本，分別為 39.2kWh 與 64kWh 二種電池組。而台灣導入的為 64kWh 高續航力版本，在 WLTP 標準測試之下其最大續航里程為470公里，電動馬達輸出為 204ps/395Nm，加速方面 0-100km/h 7.6秒，極速則維持 167km/h。而這具動力總成也獲得《WardsAuto》年度十大引擎獎肯定。

充電時間 64kWh 需充飽時間為9小時40分鐘，但藉由 100kW DC 直流快速充電器充電時，能在54分鐘內充滿80%的電量。 另外 Kona Electric 還有一項特殊配備就是可自由調整回收動能力道的煞車系統，藉由方向盤後方撥片能調整煞車回收力道，是韓國車型首見的動能回收調整。

Tesla首度參加台北車展

Tesla雖然是一個年輕的品牌，但將全力放在新能源車上，被稱為「現實生活中鋼鐵人」的創辦人Elon Musk敢衝、敢拼的個性下，名氣與銷量很快竄起，現在已經是全球的電動車領導品牌，並且在2016年9月Tesla全球地204個實體門市正式登陸台灣，看好台灣對於新能車的發展，不過直到2020年才首度參加台北車展，或許這也跟今年車展首度將「綠能環保電動車」納入主題以及Model 3持續熱銷有關。

Tesla目前在台陸續導入Model S、Model X、Model 3等車型，是國內販售最多電動車型的品牌，僅管Model S、Model X話題性都十足，但真正讓Tesla Taiwan嚐到熱銷滋味的必須算是「主打最親民電動車」的Model 3，共分3個車型，建議售價為156萬至215萬間。

Model 3車身尺碼為4694×1850×1443mm、軸距為2875mm，整體設計算是延續Model S的設計，採用 Fastback 斜背風格，細節差異上主要是在車頭的廠徽移植到「前行李箱」蓋上，同時大燈組也改成類似 L 型的面貌，Model 3 並沒有採用��掀背」尾箱開啟方式，而是以獨立的尾門取而代之，而尾燈組也採用「菜刀式」的樣貌，風格較為活潑。 Model 3內裝部分走極簡風格，大量精簡實體按鍵，最引人注目的就是那具15吋超大螢幕，包含行車���訊、娛樂功能等都被整合到裡面，而少去傳統的中控台與中央鞍座排檔系統以後，Tesla 將其轉換成一個巨大的儲物空間。

Model 3國內引進有入門Standard Range Plus、中級Long Range、頂級Performance三種車規，Performance與Long Range都是前後雙馬達的四輪驅動設定，Performance的0-100km/h加速為3.4 秒，極速可達261km/h，續航里程為530km，Long Range的0-100km/h加速為 4.6秒，極速可達233km/h，續航里程是560km。至於Standard Range Plus則為單馬後輪驅動設計，0-100km/h加速是5.6秒，極速可達225km/h，續航里程是409km，以上的續航里程都是WLTP的預估值。

Volvo PHEV邁入純電過渡期的最佳解套

主宰汽車動力超過百年傳統燃油引擎面臨嚴峻的考驗，燃油引擎終有被迫淘汰之時，所以各車廠也同步投入資源開發所謂的「新能源」，包含Hybrid、Plug-in Hybrid以及近年出現的48V Mild Hybrid輕油電，都是邁向EV純電動車的階段性策略。

既然電動車是必經之路，Volvo也早早就確立了電動車發展目標，2018至2025年，碳足跡要減少40%，2019年起新車都會陸續加入輕油電、PHEV及純電動車等新能源車選項，以每年推出一款電動車的速度，朝向2025年訂定50%新車為電動車的目標前進，屆時將售出100萬輛電動車，並將佔整體銷量一半。

因此本屆台北車展，國際富豪特別規劃展出旗下所有搭載 Plug-in Hybrid Electric 動力科技的車款，包含小改款XC90的T8版本、XC60、S90 PHEV以及新一代S60/V60 PHEV車型。

Jaguar I-Pace品牌電能新紀元

Jaguar首款純電跑旅I-Pace於2018日內瓦車展登場， 2019年10月正式在台上市，車系編成包含 EV400 S 與EV400 HSE 兩款車型選項，售價分別為333萬與377萬。

I-Pace車身尺碼為長4682mm X 寬2139mm X 高1565mm、軸距則為 2990mm，量產版與概念版幾乎一樣，風阻系數僅0.29Cd的類 Coupé 流線造型與前移式座艙設計，造就與傳統SUV截然不同的運動化風格，有著一襲相當前衛的未來感。

內裝採用懸浮式樣中控台，搭配JLR InControl Touch Pro Duo上下兩塊大尺寸液晶顯示螢幕（上面10吋、下面5.5 吋）結合觸控與旋鈕控制，營造出高科技感受之餘，同時也維持實用性。

動力系統方面，I-Pace 採用兩台電動馬達置於車輛前後軸以達到50:50 ��配重，雙馬達最高功率達到 394hp（400ps）、最大扭力 694Nm，0-96km/h加速時間為4.5秒。搭載當今車壇最先進的90kWh鋰離子電池，單次充電續航力高達470公里（WLTP測試數據）。若採用100kW DC電源能夠在40分鐘內充滿80%電量，若使用7kW AC家用壁掛式充電器，亦僅需13多個小時即可達到相同的充電狀態。

Audi e-tron四環首款量產電動車

其實在今年3月，Audi e-tron就曾在台灣福斯集團「e動中心」成立記者會中驚喜現身，並且宣佈e-tron將會是集團引進台灣市場的首部電動車。

Audi e-tron去年9月17日於美國舊金山正式發表，是四環品牌首款量產電動車，搭上全球休旅車市場持續高漲，因此就以SUV為定位，是一款車長近5米、軸距近3米介於Q5與Q7之間的純電休旅。Audi不挑戰傳統消費者用車習慣，而故意去將所有的設計與內燃動力車款做明顯區隔，因此外型設定還是很奧迪。

若想要e-tron突顯獨具風格的話，Audi也提供車界首次量產，可降低風阻達0.28 Cd值虛擬照後鏡的選配。這個虛擬後照鏡整合小型攝影機功能，在高速行駛、轉向或停車時，捕捉即時畫面並調適後投射於儀表板或車門邊7吋OLED螢幕，協助駕駛識別車外狀況。

e-tron的車室內鋪陳也採用Audi Virtual Cockpit全數位虛擬駕駛座艙，搭配中控台上下各一具觸控螢幕，營造出十足的科技質感，系統可藉由整合雷達偵測器、攝影影像、導航圖資與Car-to-X車聯網等，偵測周邊交通狀況並提供建議行車路線，以及途中會行經的充電站據點..等資訊，同時結合主動式智慧巡航輔助(adaptive cruise assist)等安全科技，讓駕駛行車生活更安全便捷、更具經濟效益。

Audi e-tron配置了前後雙電動馬達，具備265kW(355hp)的最大馬力輸出，並擁有561Nm的最大扭力(此巔峰狀態可持續60秒)，並且透過專屬的懸浮式排檔桿切換成S運動模式，可開啟8秒鐘瞬間升壓的功能，在此期間可以釋放達402hp(300kW)和664Nm全動力輸出，其0-100km/h加速5.7秒即可達成，最高時速為200km/h(電子限速)，電池組具備95 kWh的電容量，經由WLTP測試，滿電狀態可擁有超過400公里的續航里程，透過150 kW的快充模式，可在30分鐘內完成充電。

不過e-tron只是四環品牌電氣化世代的先鋒，���計到2025年時將陸續推出12款純電車款，並且涵蓋三分之一的銷量，其中e-tron Sportback也在今年11月問世，2020年預計會再推出e-tron GT。

Mercedes-Benz EQC三芒星首款量產電動車

Mercedes-Benz致力發展更便捷、更安全的移動模式，並期許 2030年時達到電動車銷售超過50%的目標，進而催生了電動車子品牌「EQ」，地位就如同Mercedes-AMG、Mercedes-Maybach等副牌一樣。

掛著三芒星廠徽的首款大量生產電動車EQC，從2016巴黎車展的概念車「Generation EQ」算起，歷經3年多的等代，終於在2018年9月於瑞典全球首演，並在2019紐約車展推出EQC Edition 1886首批限量版，其中1886代表了Mercedes-Benz廠史第一部車誕生的年份，同時也是全世界的第一部車，目的是為了提醒身為汽車發明家的使命，而EQC將帶領賓士邁入電動車新紀元。 EQC 長寬高為4761 x 1884 x 1624mm，軸距2873mm，軸距與GLC相同，因此可以將其視為 GLC 電動版，外觀塑造的相當前衛動感，而這也是M-Benz要給消費者的第一印象。

內裝部分則採用最新家族設計，配備雙10.25吋儀表板與中控顯示螢幕，智能語音助理MBUX也針對電動車進行專屬調整。其他部分仍可看見與一般汽油車型相同的地方，像是真皮三輻式方向盤、空調和多媒體按鍵等，但專屬方形空調出風口、藍紫色背光、氣氛燈和一鍵啟動按鈕等，還是看得出為 EQ 車型特別設計的細節。

EQC搭載全新研發的電動馬達系統，前後電動馬達系統配置不同，前方主攻在「中低速扭力驅動」、後方馬達則提供「高速行駛效能」，其最大馬力可以達到 402hp、最大扭力765 Nm，搭配80 kWh 的模組化鋰電池組，在最新的NEDC測試標準下，最大續航里程界於445至471公里，充電方面可支援 110kW充電樁，使用 Wallbox 快充方式將電量由10%充至80% 僅需要40分鐘。

Porsche Taycan品牌首部純電跑車

台灣保時捷於2018年底推出「Porsche全新純電跑車Taycan 預購專案」，透過線上註冊參加，並支付新台幣88,000元的押金，即可優先擁有訂購Taycan的保留席次，有機會成為全球首批保時捷純電跑車車主。這是罕見的量產版還沒正式亮相，就開始展開接單的案例，但在台灣很快的就突破700張預接單，顯然消費者對於「電蛙」也是很感興趣。

事實上，Porsche Taycan量產版直到2019年9月才正式在全球三大洲同步首演，Taycan是一款純電四門跑房車，但Panamera仍是四門房車的豪華旗艦之作，因此Taycan將會被設定在Panamera之下、Cayenne之上。外觀延續概念車Mission E就很跑格的造型，讓你一眼就能認出它是一輛Porsche，車身尺碼為車長為 4,963mm、車寬 1,966mm、車高 1,378mm，軸距則達到 2,900mm，車身尺碼較 Panamera 略小，但軸距相當。

Porsche Taycan全新設計的儀表象徵新時代的開端，中央10.9吋資訊娛樂顯示幕與可選配的乘客顯示幕相結合形成黑色玻璃面板，視覺上與內裝融為一體。操作介面均為Taycan重新設計，大幅減少實體按鍵與旋鈕，以直覺化觸控操作及語音辨識功能取代，僅須說出「Hey Porsche」指令即可啟動操作。

截至目前，Porsche Taycan發表了3款動力，包含Turbo、Turbo S及最新的4S，Turbo及Turbo S皆採前後兩具永磁式同步馬達，提供四輪驅動的設定，最大馬力均為625hp，但峰值扭力則分別為1050Nm與850Nm，Launch Control時瞬間馬力值更可上看680hp與761hp，使其零百衝刺可在3.2秒與2.8秒內完成，安全極速設為260km/h，在WLTP測試下最大續航里程分別為420公里與450公里。

相較一般電動車配備400伏特動力系統，Porsche Taycan為首款搭載800伏特動力系統的量產車款，創造獨步全球穩定且優異性能表現。這對Taycan駕駛而言是極大的優勢：僅需5分多鐘便能透過高速充電站的直流電，充電至100公里續航力(WLTP數據)。在理想狀況下，電池從5%充電至80%僅需22.5分鐘，充電功率更高達270 kW。

至於扮演入門動力的Taycan 4S提供兩種電池版本，造就兩種不同的性能輸出，Performance版本為530hp，使用的是79.2kWh的單層電池，至於571hp 的Performance Plus則是搭載與Turbo、Turbo S相同的93.4kWh雙層電池，在WLTP測試值下，最大續航里程分別為407公里與463公里。

Audi Shows Tesla Isn’t the Only Automaker That Can Build An Electric Vehicle

Audi’s first-ever electric vehicle, the $75,000 e-Tron, is already contributing nearly 5% of the automaker’s sales mix.

The brand recorded 856 e-Tron sales in the U.S. in May, the car’s first month in dealerships. By comparison, the E-Tron’s closest competitors, the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace sold 1,000 and 228 units, respectively.

The 400-horsepower E-Tron, which runs on a 95 kilowatt-hour battery and a pair of electric motors, comes with all-wheel drive, an off-road mode, and a 4,000-pound towing capacity—performance chops consistent with the brand’s gas-powered SUVs. Inside, the E-Tron boasts a leather-clad cabin and walnut wood trim as luxurious as any model in Audi’s lineup.

“For several years now, the industry has been working overtime to bring credible Tesla fighters to market, and the Audi E-Tron is among the first to meet Tesla head-to-head with a luxurious long range product,” said Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis at marketing research and consulting firm AutoPacific. “The E-Tron has the usual levels of Audi fit and finish, something all Tesla products are lacking in, and it looks nice.”

But the E-Tron, an important step for Audi in its quest to electrify its entire lineup, “definitely comes off as a first effort with some very real shortcomings relative to Tesla’s models,” Kim added.

The main shortcoming is its 204-mile range. That’s less than the Model X, Jaguar I-Pace, and expected Mercedes-Benz EQ C and M-Byte from Chinese automaker Byton.

Audi executives say the car’s key advantage is that it can handle a fast-charging rate of 150 kWh, the same as Tesla’s updated Supercharger network. The E-Tron can add 54 miles of range for every 10 minutes of charge. That’s 163 miles – about 80% of its battery range – in 30 minutes.

But competition in the EV space moves fast. Tesla is about to launch its Supercharger V3 network, which can charge the Model 3 sedan at speeds up to 250 kW, and the Model S and Model X at up to 200 kW. Audi has said that its next EV, the E-Tron GT sports car, will charge at speeds up to 350 kW.

On a recent media drive from Napa Valley to Lake Tahoe, which required a 7,427-foot ascent, the fleet of nine E-Trons averaged 189 miles of total estimated range, 15 miles less than its EPA-estimated range. The SUVs recharged at an Electrify America quick-charging station in Sacramento midway through the 250-mile trip.

The partnership with Reston, Va.-based Electrify America will help Audi establish a charging network of 300 highway locations and 650 metro locations by the end of the year.

Automakers worldwide are investing billions of dollars in electrifying their lineups. Volkswagen Group, the world’s second-biggest automaker and Audi’s parent company, is investing $48 billion in battery supplies to equip 16 factories that will produce 27 electric models within the next five years.

Audi expects its 12 new electric models to comprise 30% of its own global sales by 2025.

Sales of electric vehicles are expected to rise significantly during that period, to 7.6% of the U.S. new car market in 2026, up from 1.2% last year, according to IHS Markit.

More than 40 brands will offer at least one fully electric model by 2023, about three times as many last year, according to IHS forecasts. The firm projects more than 130 electrified models for the U.S. market in 2026, compared with 18 now. Many of these will be utility vehicles like the E-Tron.

“Manufacturers are still coming up with new sizes of vehicles to fit in what is considered the crossover and SUV segment, and the consumer popularity may lead to some upside for battery-electric variants,” said Devin Lindsay, an analyst with IHS Markit.

“Combine the popularity of the models with tightening carbon dioxide targets in the major global markets, and the need to electrify becomes is even greater.”
