No cabe duda de que MG se ha convertido en la marca revelación del mercado. También está dejando su impronta entre las compañías del rent a car, siendo la sexta firma en volumen de matriculaciones en octubre en este canal y con el ZS liderando el ranking de modelo.

Navigating the EV Landscape: Battery Vehicles vs Hydrogen Vehicles 🔋⚡️ In the dynamic automotive landscape, battery electric vehicles have taken centre stage, and are clearly the main attraction. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV’) are struggling to make any real impact. FCEVs use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, and emit nothing but water. FCEVs Face a serious hurdle, in that the efficiency of hydrogen just doesn’t come close compared to BEVs, which are supported by a growing network of charging stations, while Hydrogen fuel stations have actually been slowed down in 2023. Despite the dominance of BEVs, Toyota remains a staunch advocate for FCEVs, even amidst significant skepticism, from industry experts and across social media. The Future of FCEVs: The fate of FCEVs is still uncertain, and due to carrying a smaller Lithium Ion battery could still take their place in the automotive industry. Hydrogen’s success will depend on overcoming several obstacles including logistics, storage, refuelling and efficiency. For those wanting to go down the rabbit hole, check out this article by The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) https://lnkd.in/eSJctycm #electricvehicles #hydrogen #sustainability

🚗🔌Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: China. With a staggering 4.4 million BEVs on its roads, it's evident that they're leading the way in terms of sheer numbers. China's commitment to electric mobility is unparalleled, and it's truly inspiring to witness their monumental impact on global EV sales. 🌟🚀 Recently, I came across this captivating video that showcased the remarkable growth of electric vehicle (EV) sales from 2010 to 2022. 🌟 The video highlights the top countries leading the charge in the EV revolution, including the global sales figures. While Japan and the US had an impressive start, they faced challenges in sustaining their initial momentum. In recent years, the European market has emerged as a dominant force, overshadowing the US in terms of overall sales. Kudos to Germany, the UK, France, and other European nations for embracing EVs with open arms! 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🚙 Norway, often hailed as an early adopter, initially boasted a high market share of EVs. However, it seems they've reached a saturation point, and their significance has somewhat dwindled compared to larger markets. Surprisingly, the Netherlands, despite being considered a leading country for e-mobility adoption, didn't have as many pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as one might expect. The market electrification was driven mostly by HEV and PHEVs. 🇳🇱 📈🌏 On the other hand, countries like South Korea, Canada, and Sweden have made incredible strides in the past year, with nearly 100,000 BEVs hitting their roads. Kudos to these nations for their rapid progress in embracing sustainable transportation! 🙌🌎 🔌⚡ As we celebrate the growth of EV sales worldwide, it's essential to recognize the importance of a robust charging infrastructure. After all, without sufficient charging stations, the mass adoption of electric vehicles would be challenging. If anyone has recent data or insights on the progress of charging infrastructure, I'd love to hear more about it! Let's keep the conversation going. 💪🔌 🌱 Let's continue driving the future forward, one electric mile at a time! Share your thoughts on the incredible growth of EV sales and any interesting facts or stories you've come across. Let's inspire each other to create a more sustainable world. Together, we can make a difference! 🌍💚 Author of the video: Sjoerd Tilmans 📊, kudos for great work ✌️ Source of the video: International Energy Agency (IEA) Global EV data explorer, Paris Visualized by SJVisualizer #ElectricVehicles #EVRevolution #SustainabilityMatters #ChargingInfrastructure #GreenMobility

The basic process of assembling automobiles hasn’t changed in more than 100 years. But, Tesla engineers have come up with a new “think outside the box” method: https://fal.cn/3y5Qr #manufacturing #automotiveindustry #automotiveengineering #electricvehicles #EVs #electriccars

Voltages of up to 800 volts are involved when assemblers install battery packs into EVs. To ensure that neither people nor material are harmed, special attention must be paid to safety, fire protection and assembly methods. That includes fastening tools. Find out how. https://fal.cn/3y1Wc #batterymanufacturing #batterytechnology #electricvehicles #EV #screwdriver #fastening Desoutter Tools
