The neo brand is still pretty much unknown in germany. But the chinese e. B juggernaut is planning its german launched by the end of 2022. Neil is coming to germany today, my 1st test drive in germany with the neo car. If you want to know more about the cost, the brand, the plans for the future stick around and with that, welcome to read. The e s 8 is neos biggest s u v. And while its not sold in germany, you might still spot it on the streets as its available in norway. First in europe for the brand. The cool thing about neo calls that is apparent once you get inside is that a little figure looking at you its name is no me, its basically a Voice Recognition system, but its way cuter than anything. Now, because you will have a little fear that is looking at you, sometimes it will wink and from time to time when its bored, it will do funny pain. While norway gets the yes, hate the smaller e s 7 s u b and the 87 and 85 sedan for the time being, it seems like its just the sedans and the e. S. 7 that will make it on to the german market. The Design Center for neo caused by the way east in munich, germany, we were there and had a quick chat with the chief designer by the way. We can show you the san from the outside since its pretty secret. So youve got to believe its in munich. I mean we starting a new brand from scratcher had, so we have a lot of creative freedom. And its like starting with a clean sheet of paper. But at the end of the day, we want to create and design beautiful cars for our users. So we really keep their, you know, experiences in mind in terms of how they want to feel when they see a neo. So we really want to create a, a perfect car in that its beautifully designed, intuitive, easy to use, and really embodies all the attributes of, from what our users want. Of course, the neal brand is a grand success in its home country, china. The annual neo day attracts thousands of owners and bands from across the country. Thats in part because neo has focused on building a Community Among its customers. Neil fan club, the cross china meet regularly go on trips and even organized charity events. And they stay in touch with the company for james to directly address any questions neo owners might have neo doesnt view itself as an ordinary car maker. Thats plain to see what their latest venture neo houses potential and current neo owners can meet and get advice on vehicles or simply grab a cup of coffee. There are more than 65. 00 neo houses in china already. And one in the norwegian capital oslo. We started to look to indulge in an exercise, trying to see if we could find what was really essential. We came up with this feeling that it was all about engagement and community. Its about closeness and relationship to nature as well. Its about as celebration off local tastes and flavors with in germany. Now were, were good about to open neo houses. And these really embody also neos core Design Principles as well. So we really want a holistic experience for our users, so that the cars and every touch point for the users really feel like one red thread running between them. So the, for instance, the new houses, the way the furniture is the way youre greeted, the experienced total experience really is something thats been driven by design. Ah, the design philosophy around neo was really based on our Company Brand values, which are honesty, care, vision, and action. And from that we actually developed our design dna, which is pure human progressive and sophisticated. Oh yes, 8 is roughly the size of a, b, m, w, x 5 or i x. But it aims to attract premium customers at an affordable price. The logo itself represents our brand philosophy of vision, the upper part being the sky in the lower part being action sort of the road to that. So vision and action prices for the e. S 8. Start at around 50. 7800 euros making it a good deal cheaper than the b m w i x, which costs over 70 . 7000. Thanks to its 400 kilowatt motor. The s 8 has plenty of power. Range varies between 375 and 500 kilometers. Depending on what size battery you opt for. Right now, neo is struggling a little bit because all the already is not really satisfied with the naming of this column b e s 8th because they say its too close to their ass aid. So the sporty is version of their flagship model. But to be honest, its like a different car. And also this car is in a completely different segment and also be completely different type of car than the as a by audio. And what i think is even more important, a name consisting of a ladder, and a number is not really something you would call create if naming so he can steal like 2 digits. I dont really know if you steve a name like i dont know to yield us. I go bomb thing, then its different, but numbers letters. I dont see any problem. There are a naming strategy is based on 3 digits and letters. So the 1st one, e, it is represents for us experience and emotion because thats what our brand is built on. The 2nd letter represents the car type, so in this case s is for as he the, and the number designates that the hierarchy of the vehicle in this case 8 being the big assessor the we have. So e s 8 of course, what sets the neo brand a part is it swap a will battery system. At a battery swap station, the customer can exchange an empty battery for a fully charged one. In a matter of minutes. In the future it will be possible to off for a bigger or smaller battery, depending on availability. With the battery as a service option, the battery remains the property of neo and is rented on a monthly basis. That simplifies swapping and ensures you always get the best possible battery if you want. You can also simply buy your battery and the person swamp station outside china was recently opened in oslo. Hey, over the next few years, neil plans to build 1000 more of these swap stations in europe. Of course, its also possible to charge the vehicles normally at a wal box or public charging station. Driving in the o if cool, i mean the idea i really like it. And the only problem right now is well have to wait. Wait until neil comes on to the german markets. Wait until there are enough swap stations. And wait until the hour, the neo houses, but im pretty sure once all of this is done, neil is gone. I have a Great Success here. Neo hasnt yet officially announced when exactly its models will hit the german market. But the 1st will definitely be the e t 7 sedan in 2022. Equipped with 2 electric motors, itll pack 480 kilowatts of power. Different battery sizes will provide ranges of 500 to a 1000 kilometers, making the car arrival to the tesla model less. And portia, tie con while we dont yet know the german prices in china, the 87. 00 cost, the equivalent of 48000. 00 euros, plus 150. 00 euros a month for renting the battery. Walter own ends per se, passengers of the day on his 2 youngest children, he is a bike taxi driver in ginger, some 90 kilometers east of uganda as capital compiler. A few months ago, he traded in his old bike taxi for an alfred cruise e n. E, by develop for the african market, and hes been attracting a lot of attention. You can see that was in i let me good edith in the go design was using color my seat as under custom. I free cruise. He is the brainchild of juergen passion, a former teacher from northern germany. More than 10 years ago, as he was travelling across africa, he began thinking about how transportation on the continent could become more sustainable. Many in africa ride motor bikes, which are expensive and polluting. Dates vas, refusal, la africa has lots of Solar Energy Units and huge mobility outs. If you bought europe has lots of e bikes that, that so why not combine a bikes with africa . Solar energy, to make a cargo bike in florida, that could really help solve mobility. Problems on the continent i do them for mortgages, will dream of wanted to help turn his idea into reality. Youre going teamed up with an e pike specialist from germany. Together they designed the 1st prototype and realized the bikes would need to be adapted to the needs of african customers, including the local Road Conditions. To stay, ive shown that was a pretty big challenge when it came to designing the buying. Like montague, the Road Conditions arent necessarily like what a bike riders are used to here. But what id like to provide and some of the buy components that the industry tends to rely on, might not be available on general. Like in they mostly, calvin, come muslims, optic dixon, more spokes and the wheels and reinforced frame styled and the look of a more expensive motorbike. The affray crazy was designed to be robust and appeal to its clientele. And its 600. 00 euros. Its quite a bit more affordable than most the bikes. The project also includes a micro Credit System to help People Finance the purchase. Passions partner in berlin, belongs to hero cycles, one of the Worlds Largest bicycle manufacturers. The Indian Company can draw on huge economies of scale to produce the afro cruises at a camp. It if price for a hero. Its an idea that makes sense and gets them a new foothold in the huge african market. The 1st 103 cruises went into operation in uganda in 2022 as e by taxis e bike ambulances and water delivery bikes at fabio. The n g based and ginger thats coordinating the average cruiser project. The 1st batch of e bikes already attracted a lot of interest. Fuel costs have also risen sharply in uganda as all over the world, which has helped to make e mobility more appealing. This comes as an alternative, as a transport or mobility, tentative that to people couldnt use instead of motorized transport lake cars. Lake motorcycle is the fact that it is functional. It is able to carry 100 kilograms of of kaba, so it is function. It is very fast, it is of course fire, fabio runs Small Service points to handle maintenance, and to swap out the solar powered batteries. Mechanic, Joshua Ma Gaia joined the project early on, and now has a permanent position. He sees a Bright Future in the technology. Iraq stuffed up to auction and they want to skin my fellow friends and young people dont dare i want to get them on how to repair bags. Hardly bear a bakes walter own and comes here to swap his batteries when businesses brisk. He is here twice a day on days when he cant make it, hes out of luck. So returning to once in movie, if the battery is not there so you can read it using light with it, no light. So you have to still viewing the the fabio team are in regular contact with technical designers and berlin. Should the bicycle lights get a separate battery . Does the frame lead to any updates . The 2 teens are working on refining the next generation of africa. Cruises juergen passion is hoping for more support from another angio called atmosphere. Its business model. Air travelers make a voluntary donation based on their emissions. Those contributions then help fund green projects around the world. I free cruise he is hoping to become one of them. So now the analysts are studying how some of the bikes are being used to best model it is. There are gps modules that allow us to see how many kilometers the bike travel on and carry out surveys to see how people use the bike tanks. He argues as part of what form of transportation did it replace and what would they have gone by motor black by car or on foot would allow using that data. We can determine how much c, o 2 emissions were actually say a procedure to apply on found on this. Even though that process takes time, the next 640. 00 every crews, the bikes are in production. In india, theyll be headed to togo, panini, burkina, faso, tanzania, and other countries. Its hope to eventually produce some components in uganda. Here again, passion is happy that his every crazy project is taking off. And for walter owning and his family, the bikes have made a huge improvement to their day to day lives and future prospects.

And youll always be up to speed thinking about the lake for more minutes. The 1st thing which comes into peoples minds is range. Anxiety. Im telling you dont be worried to day rep is going to tell you how to charge your e v. Absolutely. Anyone. Class, the blacks and cables that i use for a very free e, v x p. As in germany, lets start with what you can do at home. So this is a stand at home flux. If you are like me at your brothers place and your cars empty, then you can chart an enormous own socket. While it varies in different parts of the world in germany, a stay at home so could usually support up to 3. 7 kilowatts, 230 voice and 16 mpeg. But getting a put charge from a home socket requires some amount of patients where we are charging right now with this, you know what . That means. It takes 13 hours to charge from 60 to 100 percent. And that causes a long time. And its not exactly very free, so i put it in in a 10 impair home socket. But as you can see, its delivering certain impair. That is actually dangerous because it could cause the line a wire. But in some costs, you have the option to change the mpeg, which will help you to save your wire. So they are always 2 sides to the story. If you are not confident about the wiring, then of course just use it for emergencies and just charge as much as necessary to come to the next truck. With a why box is a charge of what you would install at home. So i personally dont have a web ex, but thats the reason why we came to this message as dealership to show you what a warble, why boxes usually didnt have a power between 3. 7 and 22 kilowatts. And you need a certified electrician to install one, which is often quite expensive, but it can potentially combine convenes was comparatively, we get charged, which is a big plus for this. No say this why box here is charging mice has low with 11. Which means its going to take approximately one hour 25 minutes to go from 60 percent to 80 percent charging limit ive set which isnt too bad. They are all, its remote charging options in industrial areas. This is an industrial block. There are 2 types of these red flags across europe. At 16 m power plants that can deliver up to 11 kilowatts and asserted to end up like that can deliver up to 22. 00 q. So actually that is what you need when you on a remote area where you have no other opportunity to charge. But what about when you are re and truly in the middle of nowhere . These are camping blacks, which are to see blacks. Youd use it campsite in europe. Here they are usually a standardized blue color. Theres a smaller, 16 m power black and the bigger 32. 00 emp. The advantage of these blacks is that they didnt live up to 3. 7 kilowatts of energy, very consistent so that i have tried on my own and it works. So you can rely on the electricity pushed into your car. This is a cable. What you get from a manufactor when you buy an even. So that is actually a type 2 cable in harmony type 2 cables, usually transfer rates up to 43 kilowatts, but it depends on what your specific, if you can take and what the public charges that you have collected into can deliver. For example, charging my tesla 77 kilowatt hour battery from 0 to 100. 00 at an 11 kilowatt charges takes 7 hours. If you live in a city and dont have your own charging set up at home, chances are that this is a game that you are likely to rely on the most. So that is actually the whole set up. I am traveling with to avoid range anxiety. And just to calm you down, i have all of these kaylas because im constantly on the go driving all across europe and any be chances are that if you just drive from home to work and back, you wont need to rely on anything other than public charges some of which have own claxon kayla. These are the ones i encounter angenie. This is an ac type 2 cable at the public charger, which is a rare fight. But if you managed to lose your own type 2 cable, you could use the supply power. It rate up to 43. 00 kilowatts. This is actually more plaque, which was developed in japan back in 2010. The arent very common and you, but a still used to touch sammys. They support rapid d. C, charging and in germany they usually go up to 150. 00 killer. And this is a, c, c, s a combined charging pluck, which has to be the contact at the bottom, allowing for fast charging. Its the most common rep, a charging block across germany, allowing charging speeds up to 350. 00 killer was although occasionally even higher. Of course, since i drive, the tesla ought to have the advantage of his less supercharger network, which also uses the c c. S. Blacken your but did you know constantly past charging your car isnt good for the better. But more about that now and next video where i will tell you how to treat your evie better you i was no more i think with leg. Thats with the quoted leg.
