BMW is ernstig met hierdie Neue Klasse EV - sien hierna -

The Bavarian brand claims the 2 285 kg battery-electric SUV (or SAV, sports activity vehicle, in BMW speak) completes the 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.9 seconds, before topping out at 210 km/h.
According to the Munich manufacturer, the 50 xDrive’s 108.7 kWh (usable) battery is good for a WLTP operating range of up to 805 km.

Lyk my so al asof VW se groot koppe iewers hulle vingers in 220V muurprop gehad het - dit bloot omdat hulle die afgelope tydjie kort-kort nog 'n VW tenvolle EV model aankondig - te oordeel aan die Rand prys verwysing sal die ID modelle ook in Suid Afrika beskikbaar wees hier in 2026 en later.

Schäfer has stated that the new family of ID. Cars, which will enter production in 2026, will be priced from €25 000, or around R515 000, although, as always, the selling price in South Africa will largely depend on current taxation policies, including those targeting new energy vehicles.

Hierna so bietjie nuus oor die vordering met herlaai stasies vir EV's in Suid Afrika - hierdie is net een van die verskillende besighede wat aan hierdie proses meedoen.

CHARGE was the first, and remained the only, company in South Africa that was developing a national network of ultra-fast EV charging stations that used solar power and were entirely off-grid.
By the end of next year, CHARGE hoped to have completed 60 of its planned 120 sites.

'n Baie interessante artikel met betrekking tot die ontwikkeling, verbetering en die lewering van werklike waarde vir geld Volvo EV's wat vorentoe verwag kan word.

EV vervaardigers met hierdie siening van hulle voertuie, kan die prys wat kopers betaal daarvoor, regverdig in die waarde wat hulle lewer.

The transition to electric vehicles for Volvo has not come without difficulty as software continues to be an increasingly important part of the vehicle. “It’s a massive transition for us as a company,” Bell told us. “Not only being a car company but also being a software company. It’s not either or. You need to be both in 2025.”

Duidelike, belangrike verskille tussen verskillende vervaardigers se EV's, kom deesdae al meer na vore, wat werklik belangrik is vir voornemende EV kopers.

Hierdie uit 'n CleanTechnika verslag oor spesifiek VW se EV's:

Volkswagen Group just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to software. It is really good at manufacturing automobiles and it is pretty darn good at battery electric powertrains, but it has stumbled repeatedly when it comes to making cars that are the “computers on wheel” first brought to market by Tesla in 2012 when it introduced the Model S.
To be fair, there were reports this week that Volkswagen Group — and Porsche in particular — is rethinking its electrification strategy.
Highly placed sources said Audi’s Q8 e-tron SUV and A4 e-tron may be delayed by at least a year, moving their launch date back to mid or late 2028. The debut of Porsche’s K1 SUV, which is supposed to be a battery electric model positioned above the Cayenne due in showrooms by late 2027, is now postponed indefinitely.

In teenstelling hiermee sê Volvo:

The transition to electric vehicles for Volvo has not come without difficulty as software continues to be an increasingly important part of the vehicle. “It’s a massive transition for us as a company,” Bell told us. “Not only being a car company but also being a software company. It’s not either or. You need to be both in 2025.”

Dan ook BMW se positiwiteit teenoor hulle EV's in hulle Neue Klasse ontwikkeling:

“The Neue Klasse is our biggest future-focused project and marks a huge leap in terms of technologies, driving experience and design,” says Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG.
“Practically everything about it/(2026 BMW iX3 Neue Klasse) is new, yet it is also more BMW than ever. Our entire product range will benefit from the innovations of the Neue Klasse – regardless of the drive technology. What started as a bold vision has now become reality. We are not only bringing the next generation of one of our most successful fully electric vehicles onto the road, we are launching a new era for BMW.”

Fyn trap in die pietersielie met die aankoop van 'n EV - prys is beslis nie die belangrikste oorweging in die finale besluitneming nie.

En hier bult sonkrag sy spiere behoorlik daar in Wolmaranstad in September vanjaar, laai sommer 6 EV's gelyktydig.

This also allowed CHARGE to demonstrate the strength of its technology by successfully charging six NEVs simultaneously and making full use of its three 480 kW chargers and six direct current dispensers.

Volvo bly bedrywig met hulle EV's hier in Suid Afrika - dít is wat gaan maak dat hulle en vervaardigers soos BMW, die EV pyp oor die langer termyn gaan rook.

As a reminder, this battery-powered crossover employs a pair of electric motors generating peak system outputs of 300 kW and 670 Nm. That’s enough, says Volvo, for a 0-100 kph sprint in just 4.7 seconds. The 82 kWh battery pack, meanwhile, offers a claimed single-charge range of up to 650 km, according to Volvo’s local website.

'n Meer luukser dubbel-kajuit met groter battery en dus ook reik afstand, is later hopelik beskikbaar.

Enviro Automotive has announced that an extended-range AWD derivative equipped with a larger, 84 kWh battery is on the cards.

En hier sluip 'n Italiaanse EV so stil-stil en onverwags die land in via Stellantis.
Met díe is daardie ure se 'fine tuning' aan die wispelturige Italiaanse binne brand enjin eensklaps by die garage deur uit - dankie Alfa Romeo.

In South Africa, the Junior is being offered exclusively in its electric form with two variants – the Electtrica and Veloce.

Tweedehandse EV verkope is besig om toe te neem in Suid Afrika en weereens word dit bewys dat bekende en gehalte vervaardigers se EV's die eerste vyf posisies vul in die statistiek rondom gebruikte EV verkope.

Established brands seem to be growing interest in EVs and leading the sales charts. In the first four months of 2025, Volvo Car South Africa (VCSA) reported 114 EVs sold, with the EX30 again leading the way.
