The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses

[Guest]

Dacia is a small Romanian brand with a single plant, so learning that some are rebranded Renaults from China is quite surprising.

Why would you ship a small car to a country in love with the biggest streetpanzers?

Does it spy on you?

All new cars do and this one doesn't even hide it, it's called "id everyone".

Concept cars are, by definition, not actually finished. Nobody will be able to buy the car that was being shown at the car show. The car that will be on sale in 2-3 years will be a thematically similar but fundamentally different creature.

Things like the onboard computer software/hardware/data sharing model won't be defined yet. VW's first party servicing costs or the price of replacement brake pads are not defined yet. It'll be a job for a future car journalist to report on all those things once it's actually defined.

Not as snazzy looking though

I doubt the production version will look that snazzy, I bet it'll end up being much taller and look more like this:

I see, I guess their single plant can't keep up with demand.

EV wheels done correctly actually lower the drag on the car improving efficiency. If they are done really well they also lighter with lower rolling resistance reducing that all important unsprung weight, which further helps efficiency.

Wheels even affect ICE cars, with larger heavier wheels impacting CO2 rating and economy for some models. The VW XL1 is an extreme example of this pushed as far as it could go at the time.

How do you know? What car would somebody buy if they cared about those things? There are no choices. There is not enough competition to have enough choices.

Which EVs have front drum brakes?

Regen comes in all different strengths depending on what the automaker decides is appropriate for that car and the budget assigned to it. Cheap EVs like this one you can normally turn it off or on, and may be get a one pedal mode.

Something like the latest Taycan is pretty brutal with it set to its highest level when traveling at speed and that's just lifting off the throttle. I feather the throttle when using regen to adjust the level it gives me, otherwise it would be an awful experience for my passengers, bit like some one stamping on the brake every time you want to slow down. Using the throttle to adjust the regen is no different to using the brake pedal progressively once you get used to it.

Regen is there to supplement the brakes not replace them for emergency or other unplanned stops. Once you doing an emergency stop you are at the mercy of the ABS system anyway, as that will limit your stopping distance based on the actual grip you have at that moment in time.

Funny how you're asking questions that no real human cares about when shopping for car...

The car he's reviewing does not exist. He has some technical specs and a few renders to review.

[winni@lemmy.world]

this is not true. I am avoiding Hyundai-Kia for this reason

[1984@lemmy.today]

The Volvo EX30 looks good as well but its super plastic and low quality inside. This car will probably follow the same pattern since they need make money on these ones too.

[makyo@lemmy.world]

I've been saying for years that if someone produces a sub €30k EV I will buy it. €20k is an instant buy.

I’m a person, I care

Do you suspect me of a crime? Am I being detained?

155 mile range, well that's a local commuter car, that's it. The masses need things besides a local commuter car.

[doingthestuff@lemy.lol]

This is why there are no plans to try to sell something like this in the US. I drive three hours each way on day-trips fairly often, and a couple times a year I drive around 1000 miles per day for longer trips. Even people who live in cities with short commutes often want to travel to places several hours away pretty regularly. Here you can drive for hours and hours and hours and not even leave the state. It's not like we can take a train either.

Are you though?
