The optimal choice is increasingly being sought – the best relationship between price, set and performance. But can companies already boldly look at electric cars? Are there models that can meet their needs?
More news about electric cars – in a special Electric car.
Increasing competition in security
It is important for the employees of the companies who are traveling a lot about work that their cars are modern not only in terms of technology but also for security. As a result, the blind zone observation, active deviation from the driving lane, adaptive speed support, or autonomous emergency braking systems become an important advantage. However, not all of them work the same way.
An independent new car security testing organization, Euro NCAP, has been highly appreciated by the Kia EV3, Renault 5 E-Tech and Porsche Macan electric vehicles for the operation of active systems. At that time, the Tesla Model S is often praised for innovation and the Volvo Ex30 valued for security was only average.
“When choosing a car, it is definitely worth looking at security ratings – it allows you to understand whether the most important features are for you. For me, for example, it matters how the deviation from the bar and adaptive speed support system is most important. Commissioner and car commentator Justas Lengvinas.
Dainius Jakas, the founder of the 100procentuteelektrinis.lt platform, is also a supporter of auxiliary security systems, which is trying out many new electric cars on the Lithuanian market. He says he uses them constantly, and at the same time tries to try other features of cars compared to the models previously tested, so he obviously sees progress.
“Now the mid -range models are developed enough to be advanced enough. This is because they come from higher -end cars where they appear first. When the technology is in the same way, they are installed in one or two classes in the lower models,” explains the electric car expert.
Is there a difference between models with advanced active security systems and those that do not exist? Kia EV3 can be used for comparison. The Euro NCAP has tried two versions of this model – with and without Drivewise Adas Security Equipment Pack (standard equipment for the Baltic market). More modest equipment model was 67 % for electronic auxiliary systems and 78 % version with additional equipment. and the total maximum rating of five -star.
Some companies are already moving to electric vehicles
Many, when evaluating electric cars, choose one charge of their charge as the main starting point. This can also be a crucial criterion for companies whose employees travel hundreds of kilometers a day. By the way, there are already companies in Lithuania that have decided to move towards electricity – and it has proved its worth.
“One 80 % of the vehicles are electric cars with a car fleet with a car fleet. She has chosen a model with 77 kWh batteries that can cover 250-350 kilometers under all conditions, and many are sufficient for many.
I think that it is about 80 kWh batteries with models that are most suitable. As a result, companies may not only be electric cars, but are already a good choice. However, it is always necessary to evaluate the needs: managers who have to visit several different points a day in different parts of Lithuania, the electric car is often not the right solution yet, ”says D. Jakas.
That compact or middle -class electric vehicles are no longer taboo for companies, mine and J. Lenghin. He adds that electric models costing about 40 thousand. offers a good enough level of comfort and safety. In addition, the distances in Lithuania are not so large as to be difficult to overcome and the infrastructure of charging stations is sufficiently developed, so there are less and less reasons not to choose the electric car.
“There is also an image issue. In cooperation with large foreign companies, they point out how eco -friendly solutions are absorbed, which is also related to transport. Electric vehicles can create greater added value, show ambitions to make innovation and keep up with the latest trends,” Mr Lenghin observes.
If there are no questions about the distance or charging of electric cars, some rebus companies may be a choice for the right model. For example, 40-45 thousand. The supply of electric cars costing EUR 1 million is high enough.
This category includes smaller 55 and 59 kWh batteries with Volkswagen ID.3 and Cupra Born, Volvo Ex30 and one of the latest in this class, the Kia EV3. The latter can be selected with 58 or 81 kWh batteries, one charge to cover up to 436 or 605 kilometers (according to WLTP).
Some companies have already included electric cars in their car fleet, others are considering it, and for some it is still not the right choice. However, much of the middle -class electric models prove that they can be not only eco -friendly and practical, but also rational, safety way out.
