Xpeng has previewed its third production car ahead of a full reveal next week at the Shanghai motor show⚡️
—————————————————————————-
The P5 will be the first electric car with autonomous driving tech that works in the city, its makers claim, with dozens of sensors feeding into the firm’s Navigation Guided Pilot system🔥

Xpeng says the P5 will be able to follow cars ahead, automatically adapt to changing speed limits and react to traffic lights as they change🙌🏻

Performance details will be confirmed at a later stage, although it has been suggested by company officials that rear- and four-wheel-drive versions could be offered with an official range of 373 miles on the Chinese NEDC efficiency test✅

The P5 will be featured at Auto Shanghai 2021 on April 19th, 2021 with more details of its specifications, performance, pricing and availability💰

Who’s Excited?!🙌🏻

The all-electric BMW iX1 electric car has been spotted testing before it makes its official reveal in 2022⚡️🔥
———————————————————————
This will be BMW’s first fully electric small SUV, following the larger iX3 that was released in 2020, and one of 13 new electric cars coming from the German brand before 2025⏱

So what do we know so far about the BMW IX1?🤔

Based on next-generation X1✅
Could use components from the iX3✅
Near 300-mile range possible✅
Reveal expected in 2022✅
On sale in late 2022 / early 2023✅

The BMW iX1 should use similar electric components to the larger iX3. That model produces 286hp and has up to 285 miles of range from its 80kWh battery pack⚡️

Charging for the iX3 ranges from a super-fast 150kW option (offering up to 60-miles or extra range in 10 minutes) to a home wall-box that’ll take around 12-hours to fully replenish an empty battery🔋

BMW hasn’t announced how much the new X1 or iX1 will cost, but it’s a safe bet that the new electric SUV will be significantly more expensive than the outgoing X1💰

Who’s Excited?!🔥

Shows how upcoming all-electric Lexus EVs may look✅
Underpinnings designed specifically for EVs✅
Artificial intelligence technology✅
10 hybrid, plug-in hybrid or EV new Lexus cars by 2025✅
Boasts a four-wheel drive system with 536bhp and 700Nm of torque✅

New Tesla electric car revealed in renderings – sub £18,000 pricetag for VW ID3 alternative🔥
————————————————————————
Tesla will launch an all-new electric hatchback in 2023 that’ll cost from just £18,000 and could have more than 180 miles of range⚡️

What do we know so far?🤔

Revealed in exclusive renderings✅
New tabless battery design✅
Lightweight construction✅
180 miles of range possible✅
Fully autonomous driving promised✅
Will cost from around £18,000✅
Set to arrive in 2023✅

But why is Tesla making a hatchback? Well, it’s all to do with how much electric cars cost to build. When the first Tesla Roadster came out in 2008, components for electric cars were really expensive. That meant Tesla had to sell its cars for a lot of money in order to stay in business🙌🏻

But since then, the cost of all these parts has dropped massively so Tesla can start selling smaller, cheaper electric cars without losing money💰🤑

Check Out the formula E’s New Safety Car... The MINI Electric🔋⚡️
————————————————————————
It’s called the Mini Electric Pacesetter, and in its maker’s own words, is “the most dynamic interpretation yet of a Mini with all-electric power”🔥🚗

The battery and motor setup mirrors the road car’s – so 182bhp, 206lb ft of torque – only here, it’s pushing considerably less weight. BMW Motorsport’s worked its magic over the Mini, dropping some 130kg. It now weighs 1,230kg🤯😱

It’s been gutted inside, too, with only a pair of racing seats (and harnesses) remaining. There’s a steering wheel of course, some pedals, carbon fibre coverings for the gearshift, the handbrake and indicators, and more carbon fibre adorning the door panels. Oh, and a massive roll cage. Barring the roll cage, a lot of this interior was 3D-printed🔥

What do you think?🤔🙌🏻

Xiaomi MIGHT be working on an electric car to launch before Apple🍏⚡️
————————————————————————
China's Xiaomi plans to make electric vehicles (EVs) using Great Wall Motor's factory, said two people with direct knowledge of the matter, making it the latest tech firm to join the smart mobility race🔥

Xiaomi will aim its EVs at the mass market, in line with the broader positioning of its electronics products, the two people said⚡️

Great Wall, which has not before offered manufacturing services to other companies, will provide engineering consultancy to speed up the project🤔

The plan comes as eight-year-old Xiaomi seeks to diversify its revenue streams from the smartphone business which accounts for the bulk of its income but carries razor-thin profit margins💰

Both companies plan to announce the partnership as soon as early next week, said one of the people📈

However, Xiaomi and Great Wall declined to comment😮 Do you think this is true? Will Xiaomi really start producing EVs?🤔
