Audi: Age is still very far away from the EV

Audi said that the current electric cars registered in Germany (EV) less than 1500, the era is still very far away from the EV. However, EV with high efficiency and zero emissions, and many other advantages, so Audi will actively committed to EV development. EV development agencies have been established in the future will be eligible for federal grant agencies to jointly promote a project called "e-performance" activities of the project. In the project, about 100 engineers within the Audi in EV development.

Audi at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, four wheels are equipped with motors of electric concept sports car "e-tron". The car is a two-seater sports car, equipped with a battery weighing about 470kg units and inverter and so on, four wheels by the motor-driven, it can be flexibly allocated around, the driving force. Total motor output power can be achieved 230kW, acceleration from start to 100km / h 4.8 seconds. In order to reduce battery consumption, the maximum speed limit in a 200km / h. In the NEDC mode, the endurance distance of up to 248km. Audi is expected to launch in spring 2010, the first prototype vehicle e-tron car, in 2012 started a small production.

Volkswagen: electric cars until 2013, began to "formerly known"

Volkswagen announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show concept electric car models "E-up!", The car to around 2013, reached the practical level as a target, by equipped with lithium-ion rechargeable battery to achieve the life of the 130km distance. Volkswagen Group Chairman Martin Winterkorn said: "The electric vehicle to reach the current output of the Baltic, the earliest it was not until around 2020. In the long-distance running on the road to gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicles is still the mainstream of the future However, when the city driving, E-up! like a car engine-driven vehicles will play a supplementary role. is estimated that from around 2013, this trend began to emerge. "

With regard to the import of electric vehicles, Volkswagen Hakenboge director of research and development, said: "All companies are into the time published in 2009, 2011 and so on, but we are not so optimistic. Because it also faces security and infrastructure many problems. to take into consideration the development of electric vehicles into the U.S. market. while the United States safety standards are very strict, so we will solve these problems only started after the supply. "

The German government approved in 2012 to 2014, plans to promote electric cars

Volkswagen in Germany in 2020 is expected to retain the amount of electric vehicles will reach 1 million

According to the German media reports, the German government has approved the submission by the Federal Ministry of the Environment from 2012 to 2014 plans to promote electric cars, consumers buy electric vehicles in the meantime, you can enjoy the 3000-5000 euros / units of environmental subsidies or tax incentives .

The plan has the background of not only the European Union to reduce emissions to set a strict timetable, while from the German car industry in the battery field to face strong competition from Asian manufacturers.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel a few days ago for the Frankfurt Motor Show opening remarks, said the electric car is the future direction of development of the automotive industry, the German auto industry is able to maintain its leading position in this century, the key is to develop electric vehicle technology, the government will continue to provide支持. Her message to the German car makers can not ignore Asia's burgeoning electric vehicle technology, especially the charging technology innovation, at least to "catch up."

Volkswagen, according to research, the next 15 to 20 years, oil will continue to take advantage of the engine, but electric cars is developing rapidly, thanks to the promotion of measures, from 2012 to 2014 sales of electric vehicles in Germany will reach 30000, followed by 5 years an annual increase of 10 million units from 2019 to 2020 an annual increase of 25 million units in 2020 electric cars in Germany will reach one million. According to McKinsey & Company estimates that in 2020 the world's electric car sales will rise to 470 billion euros, of which Germany is 800 million euros, the world's 250,000 new jobs.

Renault: electric car prices are too high then lose its meaning

Renault at the Frankfurt Motor Show 63rd exposes the 4 electric vehicles, the company plans in 2011 ~ 2016 for the United States only in Israel, Better Place's electric Fluence sales of 100,000 vehicles, the vehicle maximum power of 70kW, the maximum torque 226Nm, with lithium-ion rechargeable battery life can be achieved from the 160km.

Renault power and battery Alain Vignaud, vice president, said: "The driving 100km, when, EV requires 2 euros in electricity, diesel vehicles take 7 euros in fuel, gasoline fuel cost of 9 euros needed, so operating costs are significantly EV relatively low. However, vehicles are priced too high and will lose its significance. "

India REVA: buy a battery electric vehicle rental

REVA, India plans to begin production in early 2010 electric cars NXR, the car has lead rechargeable battery models, as well as equipped with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery models. The former is equipped with the capacity 7.5kWh batteries, as well as the maximum output power of 13kW, the maximum torque 52Nm of induction motor, maximum speed of 80km / h, continued to travel a distance of 80km. The latter uses lithium-ion rechargeable battery and the capacity of 14kWh, motor maximum output power of 25kW, the maximum torque 92Nm, top speed reached 104km / h, continued to travel a distance of 160km.

Unbearable for consumers, the high cost of electric vehicles, REVA's vision, consumers can only purchase of vehicles, and then a monthly payment of the battery usage fees. Does not include the battery, including NXR price is only 10000 to 1.5 million euros, consumers can afford them.
