De EV-concurrentie

[Micele]

De E-Mustang van Ford wordt goedkoper, tot 3000 $ minder voor de duurste versie die nu nipt onder $50k begint.

Dat is nu toevallig de vanafprijs van de Tesla model Y Long Range awd die $49.990 kost...

De First Edition versie kost wel nog altijd $ 58.300.

Opgelet: Ford profiteert wel nog een tijdje van de $7,5k federal credit.

https://electrek.co/2020/09/29/ford-...ic-car-prices/

A Mustang Mach-E forum member shared a new communication from Ford to dealers announcing the new price drop:

Mustang Mach-E Select RWD: used to be $43,895, now $42,895 (down $1,000)
Mustang Mach-E Select AWD: used to be $46,595, now $45,595 (down $1,000)
Mustang Mach-E CA Route 1 RWD: used to be $51,800, now $49,800 (down $2,000)
Mustang Mach-E Premium RWD: used to be $50,000, now $47,000 (down $3,000)
Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD: used to be $52,700, now $49,700 (down $3,000)
Mustang Mach-E First Edition: used to be $59,300, now $58,300 (down $1,000)

All those prices are listed before the $7,500 federal tax credit, which is still available to Ford EV buyers.

Voor Europa komt de Mustang E pas in 2021, en natuurlijk hogere prijzen dan in USA: vanaf € 48k (rwd) tot € 64,4k (awd)

De Belgische invoerder rekent 48.000 euro aan voor de Mustang Mach-E ‘Standard Range’ met een elektromotor van 258 pk op de achteras en een batterijpakket van 76 kWh dat een rijbereik van 450 km toelaat. De ‘Extended Range’-versie pakt uit met 285 pk en biedt 600 km dankzij de 99 kWh batterij, maar is dan ook merkelijk duurder: 56.150 euro.

Beide varianten zijn ook leverbaar met vierwielaandrijving door de plaatsing van een extra motor van ongeveer 50 pk op de vooras en kosten in die configuratie respectievelijk 54.950 euro en 64.425 euro. De nieuwe Mustang Mach-E kunt u reeds bestellen bij de Ford-verdeler en wordt begin volgend jaar geleverd.

50 pk op de vooras? Euh voor de juiste cijfers beter niet de Belgische media lezen... via wiki vind je de betere refertes van Ford zelf:

Per merk, top 20 < ______________________________ > per model, top 20:

Models: Tesla Model Y and Wuling Mini EV shine in positive month

Registrations were up for the second time in a row last month, a first this year, with registrations going up 58%, to some 241.000 units, with plugin hybrids in particular jumping 92%, to 76.000 units, which is already having a positive impact on the YTD numbers, now back in black, if by just 1%, to 1.4 million, so we should see the plugin market end the year with positive numbers.

On the other hand, the overall automotive market lost momentum, having dropped 10% YoY last month, leading to a July PEV share of 3.8%, pulling the 2020 plugin share to 3.1%, above the 2.5% of last year.

The future will depend much on the development of the pandemic and the seriousness of the economic crisis, but whatever happens, expect plugins to weather the storm better than the overall market, increasing its PEV share on the way.

With BEV growth trailing behind PHEVs (+46% vs +92%), the BEV/PHEV breakdown is slowly becoming more balanced, with the current standing now at 67% BEV, 33% PHEV.



With a helping hand from the Chinese EV market, the leader Tesla Model 3 reigned supreme in August, but the rising star Wuling Mini EV scored 9.150 units last month, so in the future the small 4-seater might steal a couple of monthly wins from Tesla's sports sedan, speaking of the Californian maker, the Tesla Model Y won the monthly Bronze medal, thanks to a record 8.052 deliveries, allowing Tesla's new baby to jump five spots in the Top 20, to #6, and expect the Model Y to jump further positions, possibly reaching the podium next month.

Another model with strong results was the Hyundai Kona EV, that scored 5.692 deliveries, allowing the Korean crossover to remove the Nissan Leaf in the last place in the podium, while the #15 Ford Kuga / Escape PHEV was up 5 spots, and is on the way to the PHEV podium.

A mention also for the good performances of a number of Chinese EVs, besides the aforementioned record result of the Wuling Mini EV, that allowed it to join the Top 20 in #18, the #10 GAC Aion S scored a Year Best score of 4.071 units, while outside the Top 20, the #21 Great Wall Ora Black Cat (formerly known as Ora R1) had 3.748 units, its best score in over a year, and added to the #23 Chery eQ, that with 3.307 units, had its best score since June last year, it seems to confirm return of form from Chinese small EVs, and the Wuling Mini EV is the most extreme example of that.

On the PHEV side, the most impressive model is the new Mercedes A250e (3.510, new record), while the Li Xiang One also hit a personal best performance, with 2.711 units, and could join the table soon.

Verhouding BEV/PHEV is nu 67%/33%.

Volkswagen Gp gaat pas in september een forse sprong doen in aantallen, alleen de ID.3 an sich gaat enkel in Noorwegen en NL al ~2.500 stuks verkopen die cijfers zijn al ca. te voorspellen: https://eu-evs.com/pivot.html

Tesla verhoogt zijn wereldaandeel betreft alle stekkerwagens van 15 naar 18 % tov yoy 2019.
Naast het model 3 heeft nu ook het model Y daar aandeel aan, zie top 5 modellen augustus.
September zal de VW ID.3 daar al wslk op de tweede plaats staan, en het model Y van Tesla zal niet meer zo ver staan.

Qua echte *massaproductie zijn er dan 2 EV-modellen wereldwijd, toch zeker in kwartaal 4-2020. (*pakweg 20.000/maand)

Het Tesla model Y zal pas 2021 echt loslopen met de verkoop in China, en na halfweg 2021 ook in Europa.
De directe concurrent VW ID.4 en zijn zustermodellen (Skoda, Seat) zullen wslk ook 2021 fors verkopen, zodat we op minstens 4 modellen *massaproductie kunnen hopen op zeer korte termijn.

Tesla gaat nu cobaltvrije LFP-cellen gebruiken voor hun Chinese productie.

Er is sprake dat die Chinese versies ook uitgevoerd kunnen worden naar Europa (model 3 én model Y), maar dat zijn nog geruchten: https://electrek.co/2020/09/11/tesla...in-china-cars/

De afwerking zou zelfs beter zijn dan die van Fremont (want nieuwe fabriek is ook nieuwe loopband, dito machines, ook de lakafwerking en zeker met de penibele Chinezen)

Bijkomend is nog dat Tesla daarmee vanaf vandaag zijn prijzen voor het MIC model 3 verlaagde, zelfs tot € 4.300 minder voor de Long Range RWD, en 2.700 € minder voor de SR+ of standard range plus. (€ omgerekend van Yuan)

De verkoop in China kan niet meer volgen, online-stormloop sinds die aankondiging... het rijbereik is officieel zelfs met 23 km-NEDC toegenomen voor de basis SR+ van 445 naar 468 km, al is het maar het waardeloze NEDC , het is officieel toegenomen, en in de regel gaan LFPs langer mee... Hoe Tesla dat allemaal lapt met LFP-chemie?

De MICs zijn nu ook goedkoper dan de Made in USA, maar dat was te verwachten.

Posted on October 1, 2020

Tesla seems determined to start the fourth quarter strong in China, with the electric car maker rolling out price adjustments for the Model 3 on October 1. With these changes, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus produced in Gigafactory Shanghai has now become more affordable than its Fremont-made counterpart. And it comes with longer range too.

The updates to Tesla China’s Model 3 pricing were rolled out amidst reports that the company is about to start equipping the Standard Range Plus variant of the all-electric sedan with cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. LFP batteries, while not as energy-dense as the nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cells used by the company, are lower-cost and cobalt-free. In true Tesla fashion, it appears that the electric car maker has now passed over these cost savings to consumers.

With their updated pricing, the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus from Gigafactory Shanghai could now be purchased for CN¥249,900 (about $36,800). That’s about CN¥21,650 less than its previous price. This effectively makes the vehicle more affordable than its American-made, NMC battery-equipped counterpart from the Fremont Factory, which starts at $37,990. China’s Model 3 Long Range RWD also received a price cut with the most recent update, with the vehicle now starting at CY¥309,900 (about $45,600). That’s CN¥34,150 less than its previous price.

What is rather interesting is that Tesla has also updated the range of the China-made Model 3 Standard Range Plus. Previously, the vehicle was listed with a range of 445 km (about 276 miles) under the NEDC cycle, and following today’s price adjustment, the entry-level Model 3 is now listed with an NEDC range of 468 km (about 290 miles). This is despite the vehicle using LPF batteries, which are less energy-dense than the NMC cells utilized by the company.

Ook: https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesm...-lfp-batteries

Soit als Giga Berlijn zijn batterijfabriek op LFPs cellen laat bollen gaan de Tesla prijzen zeer interessant worden. Vanaf zomer 2021 gaan we dat wslk weten.

[Micele]

Tesla zou Duits bedrijf ATW overgenomen hebben die gespecialiseerd is in batterijproductielijnen en transmissies.
Leverde onder andere voor Mercedes en BMW.

Maar is nu in zware problemen, lijkt opportuun voor Tesla.

13 "centennials" ondertussen.

http://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2020/10...0k-models.html

Milestone of the Month: 100k models

There are several, of course, but i have decided to mention only the BEVs, which cuts the number to roughly half, here are the 13 "Centennial BEVs":

BAIC EC-Series - 203k (The small EV was all the rage in China a couple of years ago, but with BAIC changing its focus to the larger EU-Series, sales have plummeted, now being delivered in the low hundreds per month);

BAIC EU-Series - 196k (Beijing Auto biggest bet on EVs was much rewarded last year, with 111k registrations in that year, a first for a model not wearing a "T" in the hood. But this year, the fierce competition is hurting its performances, as the sedan is only #10 in China)

Baojun E-Series - 118k (The tiny EVs have discreetly become a success story for SAIC, soon to be joined by that Atom Ant super-hero, the Wuling Mini EV);

BMW i3 - 191k (Despite all criticism from many conservative minds, the i3 managed to carve itself a cult following, allowing it to become a success story for BMW);

BYD e5 - 105k (Another victim of the fast pace in the Chinese market, the utilitarian sedan was discarded by BYD, replaced by the cheaper, but less dull, e2 and e3 models);

Chery eQ - 139k (The nameplate has been long enough on the market to be considered like a canary on the coal mine, when it comes to small EVs in China. After years of success, the subsidy change last year basically terminated its career for a while, but this year it is back on track, now at #9 in its home market);

Geely Emgrand EV - 107k (The sixth Chinese model out of these 13 selected ones, Geely's sedan is also a victim of the fast evolving pace of the market in China, while it was an interesting model a couple of years ago, now it doesn't hold a candle next to the current best sellers, and even within the Geely stable, looking a 20 year model next to the sexy Geely Xing Rui);

Nissan Leaf - 490k (Disclosure: Yes, Nissan did announced a few days ago that they had passed 500.000 deliveries of the Leaf, so i should point out that this number regards deliveries up to August, and that there might be missing a few couple of thousand units from this tally. Moving on, the first EV banner of the modern age wasn't perfect, but it did put a lot of people driving EVs, back when driving one could have been seen as an excentricity, and with deep discounts towards the end of its first phase, success continued to knock on the door. And then, in 2018, Carlos Ghosn, the godfather of this model, was moved from the CEO position in Nissan, and things started to go downhill, the much expected refresh in late 2017 wasn't as deep as expected, prices weren't competitive enough and...slowly but surely, sales started regressing. Sure, this model still sells in large amounts, but over time its best seller status will be challenged by other, newer and more competitive models);

Renault Zoe - 231k (The French EV career is the opposite of the Leaf, despite a shaky start, it has been steadily improving its qualities and 8 years since it started, it is on top of its form, selling like never before and becoming one of the few models to provide consistent five-digit scores on a monthly basis);

Tesla Model 3 - 645k (The current Best Selling EV is living up to all the hype that surrounded its reveal, opening doors in several market to the EV Revolution and if it wasn't the first EV to reach the 100k mark, it will surely be the first to reach the 1 million score);

Tesla Model S - 305k (After the controversial Leaf, this was the model that made Legacy makers to watch and take note of what was going to happen a few years later, here was an EV that was fast, sexy, had surprising range and didn't had any major issue...Being light years ahead of the competition, the Model S became a trend setter and a future classic, which makes it all more sad that Tesla hasn't decided to refresh what is effectively a 8 year design...-And with these last lines, i promise not to talk about this topic anymore);

Tesla Model X - 177k (Something of an Ugly Duckling in the Tesla lineup, the truth is that the big SUV/Minivan/sports car crossover thingy keeps all the Tesla qualities intact and managed to sell in large quantities, even if they might not have been as high as Tesla hoped for);

VW e-Golf - 136k (With a rather discrete start, the electric VW Golf had an upswing career, with its last year being the most successful yet, thanks to the increasing will/necessity from Volkswagen to deliver EVs to the market, in order to comply with the CO2 rules. Having said that, the e-Golf will go down in History as the ID.3's - VW 1500)

Septembercijfers Zweden: naar 34% marktaandeel PEV of stekkerwagens.

Brengt het marktaandeel naar 28% PEV, 9 maanden 2020

Verhouding is daarvan wel duidelijk meer PHEV (63%) dan BEV (37%)

Steeds minder ICE vinden een koper, PHEV haalt met 20% zelfs meer dan diesels: valt naar 18% (YTD 2020)

Sweden September 2020

34% Share!

We start the month in Sweden, with the local plugin market jumping 174% YoY, to a record 9.885 registrations, with last month scoring a best ever 34% share for plugins, pulling the 2020 PEV share to 28%. And both technologies pulled the market up, with BEVs only representing 37% of plugin sales (29% YTD), thanks to new hot models and a Tesla high tide, with BEVs now having 8% share of the total market (13% in September), while PHEVs have the remaining 20%.

Looking at the remaining fuels, in September, HEVs clocked a 12% share, versus 8% a year ago, while petrol lost 13% market share(!), now at 34%, while diesel was down 10% in share, to just 18%, with the black fuel sales now sitting behind PHEVs.

At this pace, diesel will be död in Sweden by 2022...

Looking at last month Best Sellers, if Volvo secured another monthly win, this with the S/V60 PHEV twins, the Tesla Model 3 almost stole the prize, just losing the #1 by 8 units, but this performance allowed the sports sedan to be #7 in the overall market and it was still the Best Selling BEV on the market, something that will start to be a coveted award, especially by the hot new Polestar 2, 4th last month, with 582 units, and VW ID.3, that landed right in #5, with 460 deliveries.

A mention also to the #6 spot of the Toyota RAV4 PHEV last month, with 412 deliveries, so expect it to reach the Top 5 soon, and then to become a familiar face among the best sellers.

2 Tesla Model 3 754
3 Volvo XC60 PHEV 692

Looking at the 2020 ranking, the big news in the top positions is the Volvo XC60 PHEV climbing to the 2nd place, switching places with the VW Passat GTE, now making a 1-2 lead for Volvo, while the VW midsizer deliveries flow seems to be slowly dropping. Blame it on increased competition?

The #6 Tesla Model 3 closed in on the #5 Kia Optima PHEV, while the remaining position change was between Volvos, with the new #10 now in the hands of the compact XC40 PHEV, that has surpassed the S/V90 PHEV twins.

September Noorwegen: PEV of stekkerwagens 82 % marktaandeel, BEV 62% maarktaandeel!

Dit brengt de verkoop voor 9 maanden 2020 voor BEV naar 51% marktaandeel, alle PEV naar 71%.

Telt men voor september de milde hybrides er ook nog bij komen ze aan 88% marktaandeel.

M.a.w. waar de pure benzine/diesel verleden jaar september nog respectievelijk 10%/12% haalden vallen die terug naar 6%/5%

Volgend jaar zijn deze ICEs nog marginaal, zeker de diesel, die wordt wslk nog een zeldenheid in de nieuwe verkoop.

Noorwegen zal het niet moeilijk hebben alle nieuwe ICEs te verbieden vanaf 2025. Dat gaat vanzelf. Tegen dan zullen de EV ook genoeg laadmogelijkheden hebben.

Norway September 2020

82% share!

After Sweden, Norway is another EV market with a Super-September month, with plugins hitting an historic 82% market share, with BEVs up 57% last month, to 9.560 units and 62% share, while PHEVs continue on the fast lane, up 175% YoY, to 3.129 units, or 20% share of the overall market, pulling the 2020 PEV share to a record 71% (51% BEV).

Looking at the fuels breakdown, if plugins are up, the rest is down, and even HEVs are now suffering from the blackhole effect of PEVs, as their sales were down 12% YoY, now having just 7% share of the market, but petrol and diesel are even worse, with the first down to 6% share (it had 10% a year ago), while the latter fell to just 5%, while in the same month last year, diesel had 12% share...Will we see diesel disappear next year?

Another record to take in account, is the fact that 88% of all September sales belonged to electrified (BEV+PHEV+HEV) vehicles, so we should see months next year where pure ICE sales will be basically non existant...

Wereldwijd worden "de voorspellingen" quasi elk jaar gecorrigeerd, want steeds meer constructeurs moeten nu PEV maken.

Deze studie gaat er vanuit dat in 2025 electrified vehicles (hoofdzakelijk PEV) reeds 1/3 verkoopsmarktaandeel gaan hebben ipv de 1/4 van vorige studie. En "Electrified vehicles" gaan reeds de ICEs inhalen in 2030 als men ook de milde hybrides meetelt.

De studie was nog voor corona, ik denk dat corona het nog gaat versnellen, want steeds meer wagens worden online gekocht, en EVs hebben duidelijk minder onderhoud nodig. Soit volgend jaar komt zeker een nieuwe voorspelling.

https://www.autonews.com/mobility-re...aster-expected

EV sales growing faster than expected

Sales of electrified vehicles — particularly plug-in hybrids and full battery electrics — are growing faster than expected, according to a new study from Boston Consulting Group.

Electrified vehicles — which stand at about 8 percent of global sales — will account for a third of sales by 2025, according to a report released this month, up from the company's previously forecast one-fourth of sales.

Aside from plug-ins and full electric vehicles, the company's definition of electrified includes conventional and mild hybrids.

EV sales are expected to surpass internal-combustion-engine vehicle sales by 2030, taking 51 percent of the market.

This uptick in sales comes as traditional and new automakers have more than 100 electric vehicle models in the pipeline over the next three years. Automakers have committed $300 billion to EV development and continue to invest in vehicle charging infrastructure.

Boston Consulting says the uptick also places more pressure on automakers, suppliers and government leaders to support electric vehicles.

Several factors

The boost in EV sales largely is the result of a drop in the total cost of EV ownership and the fact that EVs present the lowest-cost solution to meet industry regulatory standards, the company says.

BEV-inschrijvingen Nederland naar 21% marktaandeel in september.

Brengt YTD 2020 het BEV marktaandeel naar 12%.
Dat is voldoende voor de pure EV om in bepaalde (dure) segmenten de best verkochte wagen te zijn van 2020, zoals het Tesla model 3 in de middenklasse, en zelfs de Audi e tron bij de grote SUVs.
En dan mogen de typische ICE-modellen ook nog al hun PHEV-versies meetellen...

De verhouding BEV/PHEV is ~79/21, na Noorwegen wslk het hoogste in Europa.

Beide tesamen of PEV steeg in marktaandeel YTD van 15% naar 16%, ondanks dat de EV-bijtelling verdubbelde in 2020 (van 4 naar 8%)

De top 5 EV bestaan enkel uit modellen met +400 km WLTP.

Nieuwkomer VW ID.3 landde in september (blijkbaar na enkele weken) op de 3e plaats, Polestar 2 reeds vierde.

Last month plugin share of 27% (21% BEV) pulled the 2020 PEV share to 16% (12% BEV), placing it finally above last year result (15%).

Interestingly, this time BEVs were the main driver of growth, being responsible for 79% of all plugin sales last month, well above the 74% yearly average, all thanks to the Tesla high tide, strong performances from Hyundai-Kia and the landing of hot, new BEVs...

As such, looking at last month sellers, we saw a (relatively) close race between the Kia Niro EV and the Tesla Model 3, with this last one winning the September trophy and reaching the 2th position in the overall ranking, but not all was lost to the Korean crossover, as the 749 registrations meant a new personal record.

But the highlight of the month came in 3rd, with the VW ID.3 scoring 609 deliveries in its first month (or should i say, "weeks") on the market, a whole letter of intentions, that will make it a strong contender for the 2021 Best Seller title.

Outside the podium, another hot new EV had its first full sales month, with the Polestar 2 reaching #4, with 478 units, while the #5 Hyundai Kona EV scored a Year Best result, with 397 registrations.

An interesting factoid regarding this Top 5, is the fact that all these BEVs have over 400 kms (250 mi) of WLTP electric range.

Tesla's midsizer is leading, followed by the electrified BMW 3-Series (14% PHEV units) and Volvo's S/V60 twins (35%, up 8% regarding the June report). As for the remaining Top 5, the local Mercedes importer has started to deliver the C300e/de PHEV versions, but the PHEV versions only represent 5% of the midsize Mercedes, while the #5 Audi A4 doesn't even have any plugin version...

Rond de 60k voor het grootste batterijpack en rwd.

De prijs is relatief hoog wegens invoertaksen en transport.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_M...h-E#Production
Production

Unlike the ICE Mustang models, the Mach E will not be assembled in the United States. Rather, it will be produced in Cuautitlán Izcalli, Mexico.[1] According to Ford CEO Jim Hackett, assembling the vehicle in Mexico will allow Ford to make a profit from the first vehicle, unlike other electric vehicles. He also stated that as Ford develops factory capacity for electric vehicle production in the United States, production could be moved there. The company is also considering production in China.[14]

In een interview heeft Volvo-baas Hakan Samuelsson aangegeven dat de toekomst voor premiummerken duidelijk elektrisch is.

Bert Troubleyn 12/10/2020

In een interview met het Amerikaanse Car and Driver heeft Volvo-baas Hakan Samuelsson verteld dat de nieuwe generatie van de grote SUV XC90, die in 2022 wordt verwacht, misschien het laatste model van de Zweden wordt waarin de klant nog voor een verbrandingsmotor kan kiezen.

Tesla gaat vanaf januari 2021 ook in India wagens aanbieden:

Een markt die nog altijd beheerst wordt door ICE, slechts 0,17% aandeel stekkerwagens, wat toch een x5 zou zijn YoY:

An auto-manufacturing expert says Tesla's days of production hell have put it '10 years ahead' of the competition

Graham Rapier Oct 12, 2020
...

That approach seems to be working. Analysts have estimated that Tesla's on track to produce nearly 500,000 cars this year, in line with the company's guidance. Tesla has already released third-quarter delivery and production numbers, which topped expectations. Now, with the Model Y coming off the production line, Munro is impressed.

"I said in the past that Tesla with the Model 3 was probably five to eight years ahead of everybody else," he said. "And now, in some cases, I think that in some areas of the car, Tesla is 10 years ahead, especially when it comes to the manufacturing."

Men verwacht 20 miles (32 km) meer officieel rijbereik voor de modellen S en X vanaf 2021 (371 ipv 351 miles)

Hoe ze het doen is nog niet duidelijk.

https://electrek.co/2020/10/13/tesla...increase-2021/

The new range is showing 371 miles on a single charge, which is a significant increase over Tesla’s currently advertised range of 351 miles.

The new range is still not displayed on the EPA’s website.

On Tesla’s website, the Model X is also still listed at 351 miles on a single charge, and it is still listed at $79,990

Electrek’s Take

That’s an interesting development. Twenty miles is a big range increase without a new battery pack with more energy capacity.

As far as we know, Model S and Model X are still using Panasonic 18650 cells made in Japan.

Panasonic has recently been talking about improving the energy density of its cells, and Model X might be the first vehicle to get these cells.

At this point, that’s just speculation.

Tesla could have also made further improvements in efficiency throughout the powertrain. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

For those who are getting new Tesla cars these days, the 10th digit in a VIN is the model year, and for Tesla vehicles, “L” is 2020 and “M” is the new 2021 model year.

De EPA-sticker van een model X modeljaar 2021 (volgens VIN) geeft alvast 20 miles meer dan op de website:
