With the promotion of the greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota), a cash bonus for electric cars can be secured annually since 2022.
Windkraftanlagen werden immer größer und immer effizienter. So leistet der Propeller der aktuell größten Offshore-Windkraftanlage 15 Megawatt. Aber wie lang muss dieses Windrad sich nun drehen, um ein typisches Elektroauto vollständig aufzuladen? EFAHRER.com hat nachgerechnet.
The TWIKE 5 has been quiet in recent times. At least on Elektroauto-News.net. Reason enough for us to take a look at the current development/series status of the e-vehicle. Because like the car manufacturers on the market, TWIKE is also struggling with the effects on the market. This became apparent last summer when the 18650 battery cell selected for the e-vehicle was discontinued from one day to the next without any prior notice.
After a delay of around two years, the latest model from the manufacturer of light electric vehicles TWIKE is due to be launched in 2022.
Over 35 kWh battery to increase range to more than 500 km.
A trike is a light electric vehicle (L.E.V.) that has a pedaling system assisted by an electric motor. A form of mobility with a certain popularity in Central Europe that mixes electric bicycle and car by adding a body that covers and closes the passenger compartment. But its evolution has been unstoppable and as an example the fifth generation of the Twike 5, which maintains the original philosophy, but adding a powerful electric motor and a high capacity battery.
Vitesco Technologies is using its EMR3 electric axle drive outside the passenger car sector for the first time. In the TWIKE 5, the EMR3 (Electronics Motor Reducer) will deliver 70 kW and will therefore be able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reach speeds of up to 190 km/h according to the current state of development. On the other hand, WLTP consumption of just 6.9 kWh/100 km and a range of more than 400 kilometers are expected.
Series production of the TWIKE 5 postponed: The three-wheeled electric vehicle, which was originally due to be launched in 2021, will now only be produced in small series from mid-2022. According to the current state of development, the electrified recumbent will sprint to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 km/h.
However, the TWIKE 5 is characterized above all by its high efficiency. The WLTP power consumption is said to be just 6.9 kWh/100 km. This makes ranges of more than 400 kilometers possible – the TWIKE website even mentions over 500 km. This refers to the largest battery on offer (30 kWh).
The TWIKE is a very special addition to the electric vehicle market. This unusual two-seater is not a classic automobile, but a cross between an electric car and a bicycle or tricycle.
The pre-order round for the TWIKE 5 has started. Initially, all reservation holders were given the opportunity to convert their reservation into a binding pre-order. The ingenious ranking system now also offers latecomers the opportunity to secure one of the limited series of 500 TWIKE 5s.
