The SEAT Mii Electric is a cheap electric car

Image
 The SEAT Mii Electric is a city electric car made by the Volkswagen Group on the same platform as the Volkswagen e-up! and Skoda CitigoE iV. The model is made in Slovakia, near Bratislava. Taking into account that the usable energy resources of the battery are 32.3 kWh, the strictly urban autonomy of 358 km (announced by the manufacturer) will not be able to be reached in any way. Instead, the combined range of 259 km is close to reality, especially if you drive mostly in the city or at relatively low speeds. That being said, the electric Seat Mii can very well fulfil the vehicle's task for the current necessities of life if it leaves home in the morning with full batteries . The driving experience differs very little from what the VW e-Up and Skoda Citigo e have to offer, closely related technologies to the electric Seat Mii. Seat Mii electric has an important role in the development of electromobility. The Spanish brand will carry out a wide offensive on the electric vehicle m...

Electric trucks will bring substantial job cuts

  The transition to electric trucks will bring substantial job cuts over the next 15 years , according to Martin Daum, CEO of Daimler Trucks. The German manager has indicated that the transition to 'zero emissions' electric trucks will be accompanied by job cuts in European truck engine factories, eliminating half of the jobs in some cases. Daimler Trucks , which brings together several brands with Mercedes-Benz at the helm, is currently the largest truck manufacturer in the world and is moving towards electrification, with both battery and fuel cell electric trucks powered by hydrogen. In both cases, both batteries and fuel cells have fewer moving parts and require less labour than combustion engines and a conventional powertrain. The German company predicts that zero-emission vehicles will represent 60% of its sales in 2030 and 100% of sales in 2039. However, Daum has pointed out that the construction of a hydrogen supply infrastructure is "crucial" for convincing ...
