The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses
-
You can tell it's a concept that isn't in production because it has big wheels with thin tires and no tire-to-fender gap.
Concept images are just for hype.
-
Review what? It's a concept. This is basically an ad. lol
-
VW lost the plot on product names years ago.
-
Any car company can draw pretty cars. lol
-
EVs don’t need fancy brakes because they use regenerative braking.
-
But starting anew with a bad concept is still a bad start.
-
Very true.

There's that, but the problem is weight, with a 600mile range battery it's gonna be a heavy car, with small 18 inch tires and more rubber to make the ride softer you can't fit large piston brakes, so you need to make changes to improve the overall experience - think about a system that stops a small EV with the weight of a large SUV faster than a sports car. It would make for an amazing driving experience as EVs have great acceleration, just not the best weight balance, even though it's mostly kept to the floor for a lower point of gravity. Not to mention you would be saving lives in the case of an accident.

There are already affordable EVs in Europe, as an example the Dacia Spring which has the same 230km autonomy and even lower price (18-19.000€ retail final price to consumer in Portugal which has high taxes on new vehicles).
Not as snazzy looking though, that's what's really important! /s

Regenerative braking is great for slowing down gradually, but when you really need to stop quick, it's your brakes that will do most of the work.
I wouldn't trust any vehicle with front drums in a panic stop.

The wheels still scream "I'm an EV!" though, with that design that incorporates loads of flat area, but I'm glad the body design is moving away.
I can see why manufacturers wanted "EV style" - EVs were the new hotness and so the makers want to strongly telegraph the electric nature of the car in the design language. And I'm sure certain consumers also liked driving around in something that looks like an alien spaceship.
But that design gets old real quick. Personally I don't want crazy, I want classic shapes and a car that just looks like an ordinary car.

Lmfao I never made that connection
-
Exactly! It's choosing not to do so which makes some companies special!
-
Ehhh I think it is. You should pretty much expect all of those things from any new car.
Consumers have spoken and they don't care about privacy, reliability or repairability.
-
They should produce a Beetle EV.
-
The manufacturing county of the world is manufacturing this car?
-
Well this car is for people who don’t want to spend the kind of money you need to spend on a Tesla. This is supposed to be a cheap EV. Also the car you described exists. Porsche, Mercedes and Lotus are selling Model S competitors.

I don’t get thesr automakers, who is this made for, don’t they see that tesla is killing it with their largr batteries.
It is made for people living in places where you maybe don't need to drive 50 miles to go to the nearest mall... a car with 600 miles autonomy would be an overkill if you just need to drive about 10/20 miles a day while commuting.
Why can’t they put a 600miles battery
because they are useless for the target market.
If you don't need to drive that long distance for everything, you don't need big batteries with all the associate problems (weight, dimension and so on) that in the end don't give you any real bonus if not the fact that maybe you can recharge it less often.
