Thanks to the sophisticated architecture, particularly flat battery packaging with a battery capacity of up to 97 kWh, a new generation electric motor and other energy-saving features, the new Grandland Electric can soon travel up to around 700 kilometres locally emissions-free according to WLTP.

With a 54-kilowatt-hour battery and a 115-kilowatt electric engine offering 156 hp, the New Ypsilon Electric allows one to cover up to 425 km with a single charge—an increase of around 6%, or 22 km more than the previous model. This improvement comes courtesy of a nickel-manganese-cobalt battery with enhanced chemistry and an even more efficient powertrain. Average consumption now comes in at 14.3 kilowatt-hour every 100 km, making Lancia’s new compact car even more sustainable and easier to manage without an increase in its cost.

The Leapmotor C10 has been a standout performer. In March alone, the C10 achieved record-breaking deliveries of 12,000 units, contributing to a cumulative total of 100,000 units since its launch. This remarkable achievement underscores the C10’s appeal and the strong demand for innovative, reliable and affordable vehicles.

The PEUGEOT E-208 now offers the best electric range in its segment with up to 433 km (WLTP combined cycle) for the version equipped with the 156 hp (115 kW) engine, an improvement of 23 km. This development reinforces the model’s status as a benchmark in efficiency, reaffirmed during the 2024 Ecotest conducted by the prestigious ADAC, which named the PEUGEOT E-208 the most efficient car on the European market.

The Elroq RS comes with an electric range of more than 550 kilometres on the WLTP cycle, specific RS accessories and comprehensive standard equipment. It is also the fastest accelerating car in Škoda’s current model portfolio, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.

The Vivaro Electric Sportive is equipped with a 100 kW (136 hp) electric motor and 75 kWh battery and can be ordered as a panel van for €48,500 and as a double cab from €51,500 (all prices RRP excl. VAT in Germany).

The all-new LEAF sits on Nissan’s modular CMF-EV platform (which debuted with the Ariya). Efficient energy management, streamlined packaging and enhanced driving performance from Nissan’s new 3-in-1 EV powertrain, are expected to help deliver significant range improvements over the previous generation. Further details will be shared mid-year.

On December 10, 2024, EVE Energy became the first to achieve mass production of 628Ah ultra-large cells, meeting surging market demand and accelerating the adoption of large cells and simplified systems. The Mr. Giant Energy Storage System has been deployed at the Jingmen Energy Storage Pilot Station in Hubei, operating stably for 7 months with over 95.5% efficiency, demonstrating exceptional performance.

The company will supply high-capacity LFP long-cell batteries with enhanced energy efficiency and safety, high energy density compared to conventional LFP solutions, and Liquid Cooling technology that optimizes performance and reliability.

The Opel Corsa Electric with a 51 kWh battery and an output of 115 kW (156 hp) now enables a locally emissions-free range of up to 429 kilometres – around 6 per cent or up to 24 kilometres more than before.

SK On, a subsidiary of South Korea’s second largest conglomerate SK Group, currently operates two battery plants and is building four more plants with its partners in the United States.
