The First EV From The Smartphone Manufacturer, The Xiaomi SU7, Sold Out For 2024 In 24 Hours
April 3, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
Late last week, the Xiaomi SU7 created a lot of excitement in China. It’s the first automobile produced by a firm best recognized for its consumer electronics on a global scale. Even so, a lot of people went to the company’s website to buy the battery-powered vehicle, which directly rivals the Tesla Model 3 despite the Chinese EV being somewhat more affordable and bigger.
In China, Customers May Have To Wait Up To Seven Months For Their Automobiles To Be Delivered.

Within the first four minutes of the purchase form’s launching on Thursday, 10,000 customers in China placed preorders for the SU7. Xiaomi got roughly 90,000 preorders for its first automobile inside just 27 minutes, with 50,000 orders piling up by the end of the day.
That’s a lot of attention for a newly designed vehicle from a manufacturer with no prior automotive experience. Those who paid a 5,000 yuan ($850) deposit for the Xiaomi SU7 would thus have to wait a maximum of seven months to receive their car, as per a report by Reuters that examined the delivery schedules on the company’s vehicle app.

Delivery is scheduled to start at the end of this month, but the most costly model, the Max, which costs 299,900 yuan ($41,500), has a delivery window of 27 to 30 weeks, so purchasers may expect to get it in the next year.
It may take up to 21 weeks for the delivery of the SU7 Standard, which retails for 215,900 yuan ($29,900), and the SU7 Pro, which costs 245,000 yuan ($33,990).
Depending on the grade, the SU7’s electric motors—which Xiaomi developed internally—are either rear- or all-wheel drive. The high-voltage batteries, which provide a range of up to 515 miles (830 kilometers) on the CLTC process, are provided from either BYD or CATL. The automobile is built on an 800-volt architecture.

In China, the Xiaomi SU7 costs around $4,000 less than the Tesla Model 3, but it has more internal displays, a head-up display, a longer driving range, and a little more upscale interior with technology that syncs with Xiaomi’s consumer goods. Despite the existence of less expensive models such as the Zeekr 007, Xiaomi appears to have had success with its marketing campaign in what is perhaps the world’s most competitive EV industry.
Tesla Releases The Cybertruck’s First Software Upgrade
February 9, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
The world believed this was it when Tesla eventually debuted the much-anticipated and delayed futuristic Cybertruck. The Cybertruck was completed and prepared to upend our world, signaling the arrival of the future. Not quite so quickly, though.
As per Tesla’s custom, the Cybertruck departed the plant with unfulfilled expectations, disregarding all of the commitments it had made. Greetings from Beta Lifestyle.
Tesla Cybertruck Side View
To be honest, though, Cybertruck is an incredible electric car, whether you like it or not. There’s no other vehicle like it, for the simple reason that no other corporation would ever take the chance of even trying to imagine creating one, much less risking its future and releasing the product to the public.
This explains why it appears like Tesla has a devoted following of cult-like fans and a sizable client base. Now enough with the distraction; let’s get back to the Cybertruck.
Not all was as it seemed when the Cybertruck eventually left the factory and the first, although sluggish, deliveries began to arrive. After the much-discussed panel gap issues were resolved and the truck itself was built, the new owners soon discovered that the driving experience differed greatly from what they had learned from earlier Teslas. Furthermore, it was unrelated to the Cybertruck’s size.
To put it mildly, the truck arrived with very little software. It was equipped with all the standard features you would expect from a modern automobile, but not the ones you had hoped for when you paid more than €90,000.
Tesla Cybertruck Back View
In addition to new interface visuals, the Cybertruck still lacks specialized software. More significantly, Autopilot is deficient in certain areas, and FSD is completely unavailable.
Fortunately, Tesla is aware of the problems and is attempting to resolve them. The first significant software upgrade for all previously sold Cybetruck machines was just delivered by the firm. Getting an update consists of two key parts: driving dynamics and charging dynamics.
The Cybertruck will adapt the charger’s charging output based on the battery condition when it is plugged into a supercharger. When a battery is located using navigation, battery preconditioning begins automatically. This should safeguard the battery and improve the efficiency of the charging process.
Tesla Cybertruck Interior
Additionally, the driving dynamics were changed. With the Sport Mode in particular, Tesla promises a more consistent reaction on varied terrain and a more pleasant ride on bumpy and twisting roads. It implies that the first owner’s background must not have been very stellar.
The business included a number of minor changes outside of those two areas, but they seem to have been a part of an earlier Tesla Holiday Update, which the Cybertruck is only now receiving.
Without a question, the Cybertruck was and still is the most challenging vehicle to design and produce. After so many delays, Tesla decided to release it even though the software was not yet complete. Is software development, however, ever-ending? No, it never comes to an end.
Customer input cannot be replaced by testing, and it is essential for the business to be able to fix any problems with an OTA update.
Tesla has demonstrated that software is king; the Model S has been in production for 12 years and is still regarded as a standard. Take our word for it, but Ferrari has been observed comparing the Model S Plaid to its next supercar in private sessions.
Although the Model S has seen a few mechanical updates over the years, its unique characteristics are mostly due to its software. Furthermore, Cybertruck’s classic sci-fi body will only become better with time. Has Tesla figured out how to own a single vehicle for life?
Top 10: Fastest Accelerating Production Electric Cars
December 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs
But because electric motors can provide full torque from a stop, they are redefining what is possible in a way that is tearing up and rewriting those records.
Here, we rank the top 10 electric vehicles in terms of speed from 0 to 60 mph using the manufacturer’s stated official data. In order to set realistic expectations, consider this sobering context: a Formula 1 vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in around 2.5 seconds, therefore every car on this list has amazing drag potential, if not less so while navigating 180 mph turns.
Over the past 120 years, a number of hypercar manufacturers have broken acceleration records, including Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Porsche.
10. Lotus Evija – sub-3.0 seconds
Lotus Evija
With its 2011 horsepower and sub-3.0 seconds 0-62 mph performance, the Lotus Evija is a hypercar worth over £2.4 million that aims to prove that an electric future is anything from dull. As anybody fortunate enough to be seated in one of the 130 units being produced will attest.
The Evija stands out for more reasons than just its quick acceleration; after reaching 62 mph in less time than it takes to yell, it continues to accelerate at an almost unbelievable 218 mph after reaching 186 mph from a standstill in 9.1 seconds—still faster than most common hatchbacks.
9. Porsche Taycan Turbo S – 2.6sec
Porsche Taycan Turbo S
Porsche’s first electric vehicle, the Taycan Turbo S, debuted with the goal of proving to skeptics that electric vehicles can be thrilling. It accomplished this goal admirably, offering incredible acceleration that can reach 60 miles per hour in only 2.6 seconds.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S, despite its name, lacks a turbocharger—that was a nod to earlier, faster Porsche models—and instead has “just” a 93kWh battery that produces 751bhp total. In contrast, it takes 2.8 seconds for a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica to reach 60 mph.
8. Tesla Model X Plaid – 2.5sec
Tesla Model X Plaid
You might be wondering how a 2.5-ton family SUV could possibly rank among the vehicles that accelerate the fastest. That’s the excitement of having an instantaneous torque and strong electric motor, but remember to keep the kids away before you release full 1006bhp.
The Plaid model’s tri-motor arrangement, which propels it down the road as hard as its tires can grip and essentially quicker than any supercar currently on sale, is the secret to the Tesla Model X’s powerful performance. In fact, in a drag race, a Bugatti Chiron (0-62mph, 2.3sec) will barely prevail over it.
7. Lucid Air – 2.5sec
Lucid Air
The flagship model of this up-and-coming automaker is the Lucid Air Dream Edition, albeit you’d have to have some pretty crazy dreams if you thought that going from a complete stop to 60 miles per hour in a stomach-turning 2.5 seconds, with a peak speed of 235 miles per hour, was among them.
California-based Lucid began selling the Air in 2021. It has two electric motors that have a combined output of 1065 horsepower. Its battery and efficiency allow it to be rated for a substantial 520 miles per charge, even if using all that power would reduce range. Its fast-charging capabilities let it to add 300 miles of range in 20 minutes (assuming you can find the suitable supercharger).
6. Faraday Future FF91 – 2.2sec
Faraday Future FF91
Leading a group of Chinese automakers hoping to build their reputations for producing cars through electrification is Faraday. The FF91 is a hybrid saloon and SUV with a striking look and a hypercar-baiting 2.2-second 0-60mph pace.
Considering its futuristic speed, it’s remarkable that the FF91 was introduced in 2017. The business stated that 64,124 bookings for the automobile had been received in just 36 hours. Though putting the concept into practice hasn’t been simple, we’re excited to see its cars on the road after receiving a lot of funding and being listed on the Nasdaq.
5. Tesla Model S Plaid – 1.99sec
Tesla Model X Plaid
One more Tesla? We’re not even close to finished, though, since Elon Musk and his group of electric pioneers have long recognized the value of a captivating performance figure. The Model S Plaid outperforms the Model X in the 0–60 mph speed of 1.99 seconds because to its slipperier design and (slightly) lower weight.
The Model S Plaid variant, like the Model X Plaid, is equipped with three motors: two on the back and one on the front axle, which together provide 1006 horsepower for the road. Its top speed is 200 mph, and it proved it could handle turns by lapping the Nürburgring in 7 minutes and 30.9 seconds, more than ten seconds quicker than the Taycan Turbo S.
4. Tesla Roadster – 1.9 seconds
Tesla Roadster
According to rumors, the 200kWh battery of the second generation Tesla Roadster would provide 1000 horsepower, all housed in a comparatively light body. Whatever the specifics, it’s obvious that the Roadster—which can reach 60 mph in 1.9 seconds—must be the quickest Tesla.
It’s important to note that the Roadster is mentioned here more for potential than actuality. Having been unveiled as a concept as early as 2017 and suggested for production almost annually since 2020, nobody, not even Elon Musk, is certain when the project will go on sale.
3. Pininfarina Battista – 1.79sec
Pininfarina Battista
There is a little dispute here since, despite recording a time of 1.79 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, the Pininfarina Battista has not yet received homologation. Thus, some choose to emphasize its performance using the official estimate of 2.0 seconds instead. To be honest, we’re willing to include it in this list despite the disclaimers, assertions, and rebuttals surrounding the majority of these numbers.
The Battista’s four electric motors, which produced a powerful 1726 lb ft of torque and 1877 bhp, were the same as those used in the Rimac Nevera. To experience a glimpse of this incredible performance, you will need to shell out around £1.9 million (€2.2 million) to be listed as the owner of one of the 150 cars that are scheduled for manufacture.
2. Rimac Nevera – 1.74sec
Rimac Nevera
Rimac’s remarkable journey, which began with the development of its own electric hypercars in Croatia and continued with co-owning Bugatti and working on several established automakers’ electric projects, is highlighted by the performance metrics of its own-label vehicles. With its 1914 horsepower, the Nevera can reach 200 mph in 10.8 seconds and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds.
The Rimac Nevera’s ability to go at top speed under any circumstances stems from the fact that each wheel contains a strong electric motor. A massive 120kWh battery pack powers all of that speed. The only drawback is that you’ll need to spend more than £2.4 million to experience all of this performance.
1. Aspark Owl – 1.72sec
Aspark Owl
Aside from frightening mice, owls are well-known for many other things, although maybe not for their lightning-fast reflexes while stationary. The Aspark owl, manufactured in China, promises to alter all of that with its four electric motors producing 1985 horsepower and an astounding (literally, we assume) 0-60 mph pace of 1.72 seconds. With a range of 280 miles, the Aspark Owl can reach an incredible peak speed of 249 mph.
It’s much harder to own the fastest-accelerating production car in the world than it is to read about it, though. To begin with, Aspark claims it will only produce 50, and each will cost about £2.5 million. Moreover, there’s the question of whether the relatively unknown company will live up to its promise, as it has only shown a static model thus far while it works to bring the concept to market. Although its goals are commendable, we’re eager to see them confirmed.
The New Peugeot E-208 Gets Sporty New look And 248 Mile Range
July 6, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
Order books for the new Peugeot E-208 will open this fall. The electric hatchback will have a new electric motor, a greater range, and a more modern, dynamic external design.
The first-generation E-208 was introduced with a 100kW electric motor and 50kWh battery, providing a range of up to 217 miles, as a competitor to the Renault Zoe and Honda E.
The E-208 received a mid-life upgrade in 2021 that included a heat pump and a new transmission, helping to boost its range to 225 miles.
With a 51kWh battery and 115kW electric motor, the new electric supermini can go up to 248 kilometers on a single charge.
A 20–80% charge is anticipated to take a 100k quick charger around 25 minutes, or a 7kW home charger about 4 hours, 40 minutes.
The new brand logo has been entirely integrated into the front end, and the front grille has been styled to match the body color of the previous generation vehicle. LED lighting is commonplace.
The revised e-208 receives the same three-claw light signature as its e-2008 brother, which consists of three integrated, long vertical lights. The lights have been moved to the car’s outside border to give it a wider stance.
Additional improvements have been made to the back, which now has a distinctive three-claw light signature made up of red LED lights aligned horizontally.
White ‘E’ patterns are scattered around the bodywork of the new e-208 to match Peugeot’s electric vehicle lineup. Not only has the bodywork been changed, but there are also two new wheel designs for the E-208 that come in 16- and 17-inch alloy sizes.
The company’s most recent i-Connect infotainment system, controlled by a 10″ touchscreen display mounted on top of the dashboard, is housed within the stylish new E-208. GT variants come included with a 3D display.
Behind Peugeot’s small steering wheel is a digital display, a design element that has come to represent the company. Thankfully, Peugeot hasn’t completely abandoned physical buttons just yet, and a number of features, including air conditioning, are simple to use.
The electric hatch now has a variety of innovative driver assistance systems, including as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, road sign recognition, and lane keep assist.
Active, Allure, and GT are the three trim levels that are initially offered. New front and rear light signatures as well as an upgraded 10″ touchscreen are included with the Active trim, which is the base model. If you choose the top-of-the-line GT trim, full LED headlights, 17-inch alloys, and a high-definition parking camera are included.
Peugeot has not yet announced the price of the electric supermini, but we anticipate it to start at about £32,000.
The Tesla facility in Mexico will be the biggest electric car manufacturing in the world, according to Martha Delgado, Undersecretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (pictured with Musk).
Greater Than Twice As Large As Mexico City’s International Airport
Mexico City’s international airport
According to Santa Catarina’s mayor, Jesus Nava, the property is nearly 4,200 acres in area, more than double the size of Mexico City’s international airport, and Tesla is buying it from private landowners.
An Ideal Location
Elon Musk
The technology tycoon stated that the site of his new plant will provide a strategic link because it borders the United States and is three hours away from Texas, where another Tesla plant is situated, in an effort to grow its operations.
Tesla Production Outside Of The US

It was announced during Investor Day 2023 that the new Tesla plant will be in charge of manufacturing Tesla’s upcoming models. One of them is the purportedly innovative ‘economic’ strategy to contend for a more competitive market.
“Welcome Tesla”

“The world’s wealthiest man chose Nuevo León, Mexico, for both his new gigafactory and his cutting-edge car. The outlook is positive “the Nuevo León mayor tweeted.
Tesla Mexican Plant Controversies
The first debates over the factory emerged at the same time as the first reports, as it was the Mexican president who suggested that the plant be located in another state due to Nuevo León’s shortage of water.
Will Elon Find A Solution To The Issue?
Elon Musk Solution
Musk did, however, reportedly make several recommendations to the Mexican administration to address the water issue. The Mexican president then formally revealed the factory’s building after 14 months of talks.
Addressing The Issue Of Water Shortage
Obrador stated, “The plant will be built in Nuevo León, with a number of promises to address the issue of water shortage.
A Strategy To Protect The Water

Although specifics regarding these tactics were withheld, local media reported that a water preservation plan sticks out among the conditions agreed upon for the building of said plant.
Another Potential Undertaking
A Possible Second Project
However, given the significant lithium deposits the nation possesses and that Obrador pledged to nationalize in order to prevent outsiders from exploitation, the potential of marketing lithium as a raw material for the production of batteries for said electric vehicles was also brought up.
Mexico’s Natural Resources
Said Obrador Mexico Natural Resources
During his recent visit to the state of Sonora, Obrador declared that lithium “belongs to the country” and that he would nationalise such natural resources “so that they cannot be utilised by outsiders, neither by Russia, nor by China, nor by the United States”.
Reached A Consensus
Reached A Consensus
Obrador said, “Lithium belongs to the Mexicans, but if the raw material is purchased, if the battery plants are placed in Sonora, if you offer Sonorans employment, to the Mexicans, an agreement is made” during his morning program following the confirmation of the new Tesla factory.
The Process Of Making Batteries
The Process Of Making Batteries
The production of batteries for electric vehicles is currently being implemented, but how exactly is unclear. It is an expenditure that will likely be made in the future as natural resources are traded for capital and technology.
As of right now, neither Tesla nor Elon Musk have provided numbers indicating how many employment the largest electric vehicle factory will create. Government officials promised, however, that it is anticipated that 6,000 to 10,000 employment will be created.
Possibilities For Santa Catarina

In addition to Tesla, other industry juggernauts like BMW, General Motors, or Ford have opened eight plants in Mexico to manufacture electric cars.
Prior To Colombia And Brazil
El Pas reports that Mexico has surpassed Brazil and Colombia as the region’s champion in the marketing of electric vehicles, with the United States serving as its primary export market.
Javed Afridi Claims That MG4 Can Travel From Lahore To Peshawar On A Single Charge
December 3, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
Javed Afridi has once more taken to Twitter, this time to discuss the MG4 electric hatchback. Being the driving force behind MG vehicles in Pakistan, Afridi frequently tweets and posts information on different MG vehicles, regardless of whether they are offered there or not.
Javed Afridi recently revealed photographs of the new MG4 along with other important details about the electric car in a tweet. According to him, the MG4 can operate for 490.85 kilometer’s on a single charge and can be completely charged in 35 minutes.
This distance will allow the MG4 to travel on the Lahore to Peshawar motorway without the need to recharge, according to Afridi.
MG4 made its debut early this year and is already causing a stir in the regions where it is available (MG4 is known as MG Mulan in its native China). It is the first worldwide EV vehicle from MG to start selling in Europe.
The MG4 is touted as the least expensive EV in MG’s portfolio. It is built on the Nebula MSP (Modular Scalable Platform) for battery-powered cars and equipped with Rubik’s Cube batteries. In European markets, it is seen as an inexpensive substitute for vehicles like the Volkswagen ID.3 and the Nissan Leaf EV. The MG4 is praised for its eye-catching design, good equipment lineup, and impressive drive range.
Gallery:
Two battery choices are available for the MG4 EV: a 51 kWh battery for a 350 km driving range and a 64 kWh battery for a 450 km driving range. Later on, a high-performance permanent magnet synchronous motor projected to deliver 330 kW of power and an enormous 600 Nm of torque is scheduled to be installed in a flagship AWD variant.
This model will have a peak speed electronically limited at 159 km/h and be able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.8 seconds.
After making its premiere in Europe, the MG4 EV will also be on sale in New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, South America, and the Middle East in the first quarter of 2023, and it will thereafter be made available in a number of additional areas. We must wait to learn whether MG would offer the MG4 EV in Pakistan; the business already sells the ZS EV here for PKR 62.5 lac. Otherwise, it can be misconstrued as Javed Afridi’s latest tweet.
Lamborghini Confirms Electric Urus Will Debut Soon
May 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
The Lamborghini Urus is presently one of the most powerful and costly SUVs on the market. This appears to be insufficient for some clients, since the Italian business is working on a more extreme version, which will be released later this year. We’re afraid we’ll have to disappoint you if you were expecting for a completely electric version. It will most likely happen, but not with this generation of Urus.
Drive recently got the opportunity to get down with Lamborghini design chief Mitja Borkert and discuss a variety of issues. A inquiry concerning a possible zero-emissions edition of the super-SUV was one of them, and Borkert originally affirmed the EV but then backed down a bit.
“Sooner or later, the Urus will become electric… to be honest, the world’s legislation, as well as societal acceptability – the trend is definitely headed in this direction,” the designer told the Australian outlet. “I’m not suggesting the Urus replacement will go electric right now, but electrification makes more sense for these sorts of automobiles.”
Borkert’s statements are tough to interpret, but we may deduce that the executives in Sant’Agata Bolognese are at least contemplating an electric Urus. It appears that it will not be ready with this model generation. Given that its successor won’t come until 2028, we’ll have to wait until the end of this decade to witness the Urus EV.
Borkert affirmed that, as far as the remainder of Lamborghini’s portfolio is concerned, the business will supply combustion power for as long as it is legally possible. However, the transition to electric powertrains is unavoidable. “People are still taught that V10 is emotional, but I’m not sure if young children will be satisfied with this in forty years. I, too, am a fan of the internal combustion engine, but I have no reservations about making the switch to electric.”

Ghandhara Nissan & Cherry To Launch 3 EVs In Pakistan
Ghandhara Nissan partnered with a Chinese firm within nearly three years to carry out electric vehicles from their latest planned factory in Pakistan, officials of the company said on Wednesday.
In line with Pakistan’s plan to enforce the electric vehicle program, the organization will launch its electric vehicle lineup in the country over the next two to three years, Secretary Fareena Mazhar said during a meeting with the Board of Investment (BoI).
Muazzam Pervaiz, chief executive officer of Ghandhara Nissan, visited the BoI along with his team to propose a brownfield investment business plan of Rs2.4 billion.
Together with the China-based Chery Company, Ghandhara Nissan aims to introduce the new passenger cars in Pakistan. The line-up contains numerous types of passenger cars, ranging from hatchbacks and sedans, crossovers to hybrid vehicles and sports utility vehicles.
During the first six months of the current fiscal year, car sales rose 18 percent to 78,910 units, according to industry reports. In the corresponding timeframe of the last fiscal year, Suzuki, Indus Motors, Honda and Hyundai reported sales of 67,019 units, Topline Securities said.In December, sales of passenger cars rose 12.6 percent to 11,247 units from 9,987 units during the same month a year ago. In comparison, car sales were smaller, compared with 11,914 units in November. An rise in revenue was also seen for jeeps, cars, tractors, three-wheelers and motorcycles.
Chery Group is the Chinese car industry’s leading brand. With more than 11,000 patents and 3,200 committed research and development employees, the company set up a full research and development infrastructure. With 23 specialist modules covering vehicle and component durability, handling stability, NVH, protection and environmental adaptability, emissions, components and other properties of research production and verification capabilities, Chery has more than 2,600 pilot projects.
The proposed product line that will have value for money and deliver top of the line safety features to customers was appreciated by Mazhar of BoI. In order to maintain a friendly market climate, she told the team about numerous steps taken by the government, including incentives proposed in the forthcoming electric vehicle program.
