give you money to buy a house

by

In a context in which the housing is one of the main actors of territorial inequality In Spain, some rural municipalities have decided to intervene by directly offering money to whoever is willing to move and buy. We are not facing a “return to the countryside”, but rather public programs with specific amounts designed to reverse decades of population loss and to reactivate areas where the demographic decline has already had visible consequences in services, economic activity and social structure. National panorama. It is estimated that more than 3,400 municipalities Spaniards have been at structural demographic risk for years. They occupy almost the entire interior territory, but they barely concentrate the 10% of the population. The cumulative output of inhabitants deteriorated schools, commerce and employment, which in turn accelerated emigration to large cities. That loop has been difficult to reverse with soft incentives. Hence, the novelty of the current moment is the leap to material incentives to try to generate real population movement in the opposite direction for the first time in decades. Urban crisis and opportunity. While the rental and purchase markets in capitals such as Madrid, Barcelona or Malaga have become directly prohibitive For average incomes, much of inland Spain has a inverse problem: abundance of empty houses, low demand and shrinking economic bases. Urban pressure and rural emptying are not separate phenomena, but rather two sides of the same territorial asymmetry. And that is where the logic of pay to move: displace population where there is idle capacity and alleviate, at least on the margin, the residential saturation of metropolitan areas. An idea that already we had seen beforenot only in Spain, also in Italy. The DIVA program. He DIVA plan in the north of Cáceres it is possibly the clearest and most quantified initiative. Offers up to 15,000 euros to people who move to the towns in the region and telework from there, yes, with a minimum registration obligation of 24 months (and 36 for full payment) and accredited continuity of remote work activity. The overall endowment amounts to 200 million and its stated goal is to attract about 200 new stable residents. It does not finance residential tourism or second homes: it requires effective permanence and sustained employment relationships over time. Castilla y León. Here the Board grants up to 2,000 euros to families who move to small municipalities and acquire housing there. The amount starts at 1,000 euros for units without children and goes up to 2,000. for families with minors. The aid is processed after registering and requires establishing residence effective in the municipality. The objective is to induce purchase and roots in localities that have been losing density for decades, reinforcing stable tenure as a mechanism of permanence. Valladolid. The Provincial Council guide the program to young people from 18 to 36 years old in towns with less than 20,000 inhabitants, with income limits of up to 33,600 euros per year. For purchase with a mortgage it covers up to 10 installments (maximum €4,000), and for rehabilitation it covers up to 80% of the technical fees also with a limit of €4,000. The design seeks to lower the initial financial entry barrier to rural property among profiles that, without incentive, would choose to remain in stressed metropolitan areas. Rioja. He Revive Plan grants between 20,000 and 40,000 euros to those who buy housing in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants and occupy it as their habitual residence. The maximum amount is reserved for towns of up to 500 inhabitants where depopulation is more acute. The property cannot exceed 180,000 euros and it must be inhabited within a maximum period of time after the purchase, maintaining a minimum residence of five years. The incentive does not finance rotation: it requires roots measurable in time. Navarre. Navarre guide the help to those under 35 years of age who buy housing in towns with less than 5,000 inhabitants or in non-urban areas up to 20,000. The subsidy is calculated as a percentage of the price with limits per square meter, so that an 80 m² apartment below 153,827 euros can be partially subsidized. The final requirement is habitual residence. The program is not about subsidized rent, but rather about establishing ownership as a mechanism for demographic return. Conditions, intention and limits. All programs share or repeat two traits: They seek continuous residence, not opportunistic mobility, and subordinate the aid to documentary proof of real roots (registration, habitual use, periods of permanence and, in the case of Ambroz, effective teleworking). The design, as we said at the beginning, seeks to induce functional repopulationnot symbolic. Of course, its scope is limited in scale, but it represents a phase change: for the first time there is competition for population with direct incentives. In a country where the cities seem to be expelling the citizens for the cost, and the interior collapses due to vacuumpaying to move stops being an anecdote and becomes an instrument of territorial policy.

control who sells and where you buy, all in ChatGPT

by

A few days ago we talked about how OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into the Windows of AI. It’s not really about whether OpenAI is building an operating system. It’s about what kind of power you’re looking for. And the answer lies in two models that define exactly what OpenAI pursues: Apple’s App Store and WeChat in China. The App Store controls distribution. Decide what apps exist, how they are promoted, what commissions are charged. WeChat centralizes functionality. Within a single app you do absolutely everything: you call, you shop, you order taxis, you pay bills, you reserve restaurants. OpenAI wants both things at the same time. And so far no one has achieved it. The moment. Apple actively blocked superapps on iOS. The documents from the Epic v. Apple trial made it very clear: allowing one app to do everything “would threaten the monopoly” because “adherence to the system would decrease.” Apple called it “letting in the barbarians.” Meta tried it with Facebook. Musk, in his own way, tries with X. They failed because Apple didn’t let them and because they didn’t have the right platform. The play. Ben Thompson, of Stratecheryhe sees it clearly: OpenAI follows Microsoft’s original strategy with Windows. Apple integrates hardware and software, controls everything, but leaves room for competitors because it cannot serve all markets. Microsoft dominated without having to sell hardware. He only controlled the platform. OpenAI does exactly that: Control the interface. Control who users reach. And let others build on top. The difference with 2023-2024 is enormous. So They launched the GPT Store. Failure. Our own GPTs were and are very useful, but those of others were isolated in a store that no one visited. Now the Spotify, Canva, Zillow, Uber or Booking apps are not in a separate store. They are integrated into the core of the experience. They appear when they are relevant. They work within the chat. Who is this good for?: For developers, they receive immediate access to 800 million weekly users without going through Apple or Google. Without building an audience from scratch. But in exchange, they have absolute dependence on an OpenAI that decides which apps are approved, which ones stand out, or how they are monetized. If your app competes with something OpenAI wants to do, you’re out. It is the classic dilemma of platforms. Rapid growth in exchange for zero control. For companies that sell products, the rules of the game change completely. Before you would type “hotels in Valencia” in Google and browse through ten results. Now you have to explicitly say “search on Booking” or “search on Airbnb”. Strong brands in people’s minds will survive. Those that lived off organic traffic from Google will disappear. There are entire businesses that prospered thanks to SEO in the Google era. Those businesses were never really strong because they were optimizations for a specific technological era. The wave of snippets several of those businesses were loaded in the search results. The next wave will sweep away a few more. The problem. Microsoft is OpenAI’s largest investor and infrastructure partner. But now they compete directly. Microsoft launched Copilot Studioits own platform for businesses to create custom agents. And that competes head-on with what OpenAI has just launched. If OpenAI had remained a simple model provider, Microsoft would have turned it into commodity. This app platform is a declaration of independence. It is pure coopetition: partners who must compete for the dominant role. What’s at stake. Sam Altman summed it up this week: “Most people will want to have a single AI service, and that service has to be useful throughout their lives.” Your entire life not understood as “from today until you die”, but rather as “all areas of your life.” Work and pleasure, leisure and business. What OpenAI pursues is not to be one platform among many. It is to be the platform: The place where everything happens. Where users spend their time. Where companies have to be to exist. Apple without the hardware. WeChat without regulatory restrictions. The App Store without the bottleneck of manual approval. Everything at once. Maybe they will get it. Maybe not. But they are executing the perfect play at the perfect time. And that, in technology, is sometimes enough. Another thing is that Excel resists.

Red Eléctrica asked for calm. Immediately afterwards, thousands of Spaniards flocked to buy generators and camping gas.

by

“The ghost of the great blackout has once again haunted Spain,” This is how my partner summed it up after learning that Red Eléctrica Española had detected new “sudden voltage variations” in the peninsular network. The news was enough to reactivate a recent fear: being left in the dark again. And with that fear, the fever for forecasts also ignited. In search of forecasts. Demand for products related to energy supply and survival has increased by 76%, according to data from the European price comparator Idealo. Among which stand out stoves and camping gas, with an increase of 253%, followed by power stations at 87%, radios at 56% and portable batteries at 49%. Interest in products such as water purification tablets has also skyrocketed by 20% and flashlights by 14%. An alert that set off the alarms. The alert issued by Red Eléctrica Española October 7 was enough to put the population on guard. Although the company assured that the voltage fluctuations “do not pose an imminent risk of a blackout,” the population reacted quickly. Many households, still with fresh memories of the April 28 blackout, began to reinforce their domestic emergency kits, as recommended the European Commission at the beginning of the year. The great precedent. The current prudence is not accidental. Half a year ago, the peninsula suffered a blackout that left the entire country without power for more than twelve hours. During that day, the chaos moved to the stores: endless lines and empty shelves in hardware stores and large stores. Servimedia data they confirm it: The demand for electric generators shot up by 639% and that for gas camping stoves by 547% in just 24 hours. Mass hysteria or rational prevention? The figures may suggest an emotional reaction, but the data rather points to a new culture of foresight. Before the blackout, only 5% of Spaniards had an emergency kit prepared. After the event, the figure doubled to 10%, and the intention to prepare for it went from 32% to 58%. as detailed on YouGov. The CIS adds that 78% of citizens did not feel afraid during the blackout, although 53.5% acknowledged that they remembered the kit recommended by the EU. Furthermore, 88.2% positively valued the civic and supportive behavior of their neighbors during those hours of darkness. The phenomenon has revived the debate: are we facing a “collective energy hysteria” or a modern form of domestic resilience? The business of self-supply. In a matter of months, concern about a possible power outage has created a new market niche: that of energy self-sufficiency. Sales of generators, solar panels and stoves they multiplied by five after the blackout in April. Large chains such as Leroy Merlin or Decathlon sold out their stocks in hours, while neighborhood hardware stores had their own special August selling flashlights, radios and batteries. The trend has not stopped. From Idealo confirm that the searches of these products continue to rise. In parallel, interest has grown in so-called portable power stations, small devices capable of charging everything from mobile phones to basic appliances, and which are already among the most consulted articles on the internet. “Prepper” culture is normalized. Added to this fever of prevention is the rise of the so-called prepperspeople who prepare for emergencies. In fact, two of them described how the blackout tested their preparedness: Their kits allowed them to cook and stay informed when most people lost power. A phenomenon that, far from eccentricity, reflects a growing search for domestic autonomy. A new energy consciousness? Electrical Network insists that “There is no imminent risk of a blackout,” but citizens—and the market—think differently. The culture of self-sufficiency is no longer a rarity and has become established in the collective mentality. There is no blackout in sight, but there is a change: many prefer to rely on their generator before the electrical system. In times of uncertainty, energy is no longer only measured in kilowatts, but also in peace of mind.

punish those who buy a Seat Arona

by

There is a way to fill your streets with electric cars. And it does not have to go through aid to those who buy it. Or, at least, it doesn’t just have to go through aid to those who buy it… In Denmark they have another idea: punish those who opt for a combustion car. And that is a slab for cheap gasoline. 65%. So far this year, 15.8% of electric cars sold in Europe are electric. In our country, although we have been growing little by little, we remain in a bare 8%. For now, the European market survives on markets that buy a very high volume of electric cars like germany and countries with a very high penetration of this type of vehicles. Germany and France, which are the countries where, by volume, the most electric cars are purchased, are on the border of 18%, slightly improving the European data. But there are countries where these figures explode. In the Netherlands and Sweden they are close to 35%. Let’s not talk about Norway, with 95%. Let’s talk, instead, about Denmark. Do you help?. Although in most of Europe we have sought success in purchasing aid, perhaps we should start to change our approach. In Spain, the system created for MOVES III Plan is cumbersome and not very transparent for the consumer. Whoever approaches the dealership for an electric car has to take advantage of a 0% loan from the company (if it advances the aid) or wait for more than a year for the money to arrive. If it reaches you. Germany now has one of the Higher electric car purchase rates in Europe and by volume it is the first market. However, it has gone through its ups and downs. At the end of 2023 they withdrew aid for electric cars and immediately afterwards crashed in the market. Manufacturers published huge discounts hoping for a return of subsidies that have never arrived. Why have the tables turned? Taxes. For attacking the market in a way similar to that of Denmark. In both countries, those who buy an electric car are rewarded but, above all, those who buy a gasoline car are punished by pushing them to opt for the cleaner option. In Germany, as in Belgiumthe State is subsidizing the purchase of electric company cars, an economic incentive that is usually common in its companies. In Denmark, anyone who opts for a combustion car is harshly punished. The registration tax is calculated taking into account the volume of emissions of each car. And that increases the cost of having a gasoline car. How does it work? In Denmark, in addition to a 25% VAT, you have to pay a progressive registration tax that varies with respect to its cost. First tranche (cars up to 65,000 DKK, about 8,700 euros): 25% the value of the car Second tranche (cars between 65,000-202,200 DKK, from 8,700 euros to 27,000 euros): 85% the value of the car Third tranche (cars over 202,200 DKK, over 27,000 euros): 150% of the car’s value But this registration tax has some asterisks. If the car is for private use and is electric, 40% of the tax is paid. But, in addition, the State subsidizes up to DKK 165,000 of this tax. That is, you only start paying when the tax exceeds more than 20,000 euros and only 40% of it. And the gasoline ones? Here is the great incentive to go electric. The gasoline car not only pays the expected registration tax. In addition, an additional surcharge must be paid for vehicle emissions. The sections are the following: 0-109 grams of CO2: 280 DKK (37.49 euros) per gram of CO2 109-139 grams of CO2: 560 DKK (74.99 euros) per gram of CO2 more than 139 grams of CO2: 1,064 DKK (142.47 euros) per gram of CO2 In Motorpassion They give the case of a Seat Arona as an example. The car will have to pay 85% of its value but, in addition, it has an extra cost of 5,211 euros. Emitting 124 grams/km of CO2 with its 95 HP 1.0 TSI engine, you will pay 30,520 DKK for the first 109 grams/km of CO2 and another 15 grams/km of Co2 at a cost of 560 DKK, which adds up to 8,400 DKK. That is, the punishment is 38,920 DKK, about 5,211 euros. hateful comparisons. Taking all of the above into account, we can think of an electric car for 50,000 euros (373,475 DKK). In that case, we will have to count on two taxes. The first is the VAT which, as we have seen, is progressive and we would pay the following: First tranche: 25% of DKK 65,000, which is DKK 16,250 Second tranche: 85% from 65,000 DKK to 202,200 DKK, which is 116,620 DKK. Third tranche: 150% from 202,200 to 373,475, which is 256,912 DKK In total, 389,782 DKK (about 52,193 euros). From that money we must subtract 165,000 DKK that the State puts out of its own pocket, which leaves us with 234,782 DKK. But, in addition, electric ones have a 40% reduction. That is, another 93,891 DKK. The fee is therefore reduced to 140,837 DKK (18,850 euros tax) It is also free from the penalty of the emissions tax. A gasoline car with a base price of 25,000 euros, a bracket similar to that found in a Seat Arona, will have to pay the tax equivalent to 186,708 DKK. That is, the 16,250 DKK of the first tranche and 85% of 121,708 DKK of the second tranche. That is, 103,452 DKK. The total is therefore 119,702 DKK. Or, what is the same, just over 16,000 euros. In this case, however, the State does not cover any of the registration tax and the CO2 penalty must be added, which amounts to another 38,920 DKK. That is, 5,211 euros more to make a total of more than 21,000 euros for registering a Seat Arona, almost the same as the cost of the vehicle. … Read more

Spain wants us to buy electric cars that are manufactured here. And it has just released another 400 million euros for it

by

2035. That is the date that Europe has marked on the calendar as the end of the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles. Despite the voices against it, the EU believes that removing the combustion cars and reduce emissions of those sold until then is the way to get the decarbonization goals. Spain has to join this initiative and, to do so, it has just added 400 million euros more to the PERTE VEC project. Because the future of mobility seems to be electric… or it won’t be. PERTE VEC. The Strategic Project for the Recovery and Economic Transformation of the Electric and Connected Vehicle, or PERTE VECit is a initiative which was approved in July 2021 with the aim of creating a favorable Spanish ecosystem for the development and manufacturing of electric vehicles. It is a program that foresees a total investment of more than 24,000 million euros with a public contribution of more than 4,000 million and, the rest, private investment. And the objective is that: to help companies see Spain as an interesting ecosystem to carry out the vehicle development and manufacturing process. This includes production, but also innovation and research in components, batteries and other technologies associated with the electric vehicle. 400 million more. With this objective of facilitating the green transition of the automobile fleet, the Ministry of Industry and Tourism just launched the fourth call of the PERTE VEC. In total, 400 million euros more to give value to this production chain, which are divided into: 250 million euros as repayable loans to a fixed interest of 2.8% and a term of 10 years. 150 million euros in direct subsidies. New call. Companies that wish to do so have from October 14, 2025 to October 24 to register. These 400 million are a fraction of the total of PERTE VEC IV, which has a budget of 1,250 million euros that will be released in successive phases. And no, it is not a program like the MOVES III, which directly concerns the consumer: the PERTE VEC is focused on companies. A limitation is that they cannot be public sector companies and must have demonstrated capacity to carry out their projects. Complying with this, the beneficiaries can be all those companies with their own legal personality in our country that carry out activities related to the development of electric vehicles. This implies that they do not have to be the big brands, but also companies that manufacture batteries, electrical components, charging systems or even those that develop software. Chinese brands included. As long as they meet the requirements, Chinese companies can also benefit from this. The Asian giant saw before many others the importance of the transition to electric as a way to support the achievement of decarbonization objectives and, in fact, this European ambition is something that we have been witnesses for months. The objective of measures like this is, precisely, that value chains are established in our territory and that companies are not limited to bring your cars on big ships from china either simply to assemble them in Europebut to make them here. And an example that Chinese companies are welcome was the formal invitation from the Ministry of Industry to the Chery company to present its application to the PERTE VEC.

Qualcomm Buy Arduino. It is a striking commitment to the future of the Hardware Open Source

by

In a special event held today, Qualcomm has announced the acquisition of Arduino. Although the financial terms of the agreement have not been revealed, those responsible for both companies have made it clear that Arduino will continue to operate independently. We are facing one Singular Qualcomm Bet For Open Source philosophy that they have always defended in Arduino, both in the development of their hardware solutions and that of their software. Careful: It is not the only movement that Qualcomm has made In this sense in recent years. Not only that: although with this Qualcomm agreement it becomes a logical option to offer some of its chips in the future catalog of Arduino solutions, those responsible for this firm have clarified in an online meeting with journalists that this will not change its way of designing their solutions. Thus, they will continue to opt for chips from other manufacturers as they have always done to raise the hardware solutions that best fit their objectives. For Arduino this is a absolute trust vote in his project and philosophy. Qualcomm gives diversification and a gateway to the community of developers, enthusiasts in this segment and that industrial electronics market that can help diversify your business. Arduino, more and more “pro” This agreement also reinforces a increasingly professional orientation and industrial of Arduino’s solutions, a transition that has been in progress for some years and that from the business point of view seemed inevitable. Arduino was born as an academic project and very oriented to electronics enthusiasts. Soon became Referent of the Maker Movement: Limited but easy but easy to use microcontrollers were used, which allowed a large community of developers to adopt its open approach to popularize and boost the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the developers. Open Source electronics. Little by little, the project was growing and raising its leap to industrial applications. Of its application for rapid prototype creation was passed to the development of 32 -bit chips plates with greater processing and memory capacity that gave maneuver for more ambitious uses. There began to popular models for IoT and connectivity since 2016 began to strengthen the development of models with industrial applications. Own Arduino launched the Arduino Porta family as part of that new “Arduino Pro” division aimed at industrial automation solutions. These new solutions have not made the original spirit disappear: the solutions for the communities of electronic fans continue to renew, and in fact we have with us a first fruit of that acquisition of Arduino by Qualcomm. Arduino one Q: a full -fledged minipc The announcement of this operation has coincided with the launch of a new plaque they have called Arduino one q. We are facing a singular product that represents an important qualitative leap in the Arduino family. And it does it above all because the new Arduino plaque is based on a striking combo. On the one hand, the microcontroller (MCU) STM32U585. On the other, the microprocessor (MPU) Qualcomm Dragonwing QRV2210. This microprocessor that has A CPU Quad-Core with Cortex-A53 nuclei Up to 2.0 GHz, 2/4 GB of RAM, 512 kB of L2 cache, but also an Adreno 702 to 845 MHz monitors and audio devices. This plate allows for example to develop and work with AI applications, making a camera connected to this plate can be used for image and people recognition. To develop all this type of customs solutions It has its appa specifically oriented development environment to create applications in a simple way for these plates. This little minipc is in fact just that: a team that can operate in a totally autonomous way. Although we can use the Arduino one that connected to a laptop or desktop PC to work with this plate, also We can use it as if it were a PC itself. Just connect it to a monitor, keyboard and mouse to interact with your Debian Operating System and with Lab app to develop applications directly in this minipc. We are thus facing a product that makes a remarkable leap in benefits and also maintains the same original principles: both hardware —esquemas and design – and software —app Lab, Cli, Bricks have a GPL3 and MPL license – continue to be Published with Open Source licenses. Qualcomm may have bought Arduino, but the essence of this project that democratized the electronics next to Raspberry and others seems to remain intact.

The Sovereign Saudi Fund Buy Electronic Arts for 55,000 million dollars

by

Post in development The rumors of this weekend They gave in the nail: Electronic Arts has finally been acquired by an investment group Headed by the sovereign Fund of Saudi Arabia and Private Investment firms Affinity Partners, owned by Jared Kushner –Donald Trump son -in -law-, and Silver Lake. The agreement values ​​each at $ 210 (a 25% premium on the current cost of each), since the price of them had fired more than 15% Since the rumor came out this weekendwhich may have accelerated the purchase. This is the greatest purchase operation of this type in history: a company that quotes and gets it out of stock market is acquired. It exceeds in that sense the value of 45,000 million dollars that in 2007 had cost the purchase of the Texas Txu public services group. The greatest cash operation is also treated to date in what we have been. The rumor of which The Wall Street Journal echoed He spoke of 50,000 million dollars, before the price of the shares rose. Thus closes what is the second most important purchase in the history of video games, surpassed only for the sale of Activision Blizzard to Microsoftwhich cost 68.7 billion dollars and a few headaches for the company, since it had to face a series of anti-monopoly processes. As for the changes that may be in the EA managerial organization chart, Andrew Wilson, executive director of EA for years, will continue in the group. He will continue to direct the company after the closure of the acquisition in the first half of 2027. With this step, Saudi Arabia becomes one of the main actors in the video game industry: EA not only has very important sports franchises such as EA Sports FC, Madden either NHLbut also icons that can now take renewed forces, such as THE SIMS, Battlefield either Need for Speed. It is a movement perfectly in line with the purchases from the actions of weight brands such as Nintendo either Capcomor its investment in areas such as eSports, hosting some championships In what many observers, as Amnesty International, have described as Sportswhing. They open up with this action of uncertainty for EA, since the company does not speak in its press release about How could it affect the company’s template. Recall, in addition, that Electronic Arts is notorious for having given Sagas Green Light such as ‘Mass Effect’ or ‘Dragon Age’, whose content could collide frontally with the policy of a country very little tolerant With policies queer and integrators that marked the themes of these games. One of the many precedents in that regard: a DLC of ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’ financed by Saudi Arabia and set in the country met with the Protests of a good part of the template of Ubisoft.

The brands are turning in the electricity. Porsche and Audi will return to combustion because nobody wants to buy them

We do not know the future and that encourages us to be anchored in the past. The electric car brings more power and greater control over it, a wilder acceleration or cars that will end up being more effective in curve. With the weight of the current sports, it is not surprising that we begin to see very similar figures in weight … and much better if we talk about the weight/power relationship with respect to the combustion models. Byd, in fact, has just demonstrated that The future of the hyperdeportivo is electricsweeping Bugatti and becoming the Yangwang U9 in the fastest car in the world. A long time ago, the McMurtry Spéirling I left ridiculous The acceleration of any car with combustion engine. And, despite everything, the sports electric car is still not pending. We do not know if it is a matter of time, if cars like the future RENAULT 5 TURBO 3E They will break schemes and become an immediate classic. But until then, the combustion car offers sensations that the electric car cannot match. For some those Sensations They are different. For others, they are clearly better. Anyway, there is evidence: the sports electric car does not finish convincing. And that is causing the plans to electrify these models are delayed. The best example is the future Porsche 718. A car that had to make the leap to the electric whole and that, however, will have a version of combustion. And that, with rebound, will lead us to a future Audi Deportivo that will also mount combustion engine. Porsche collects cable (and passing, Audi benefits) “We want to meet the new market realities and change customer demands. We have seen a clear drop in the demand for exclusive battery electric cars, and we are taking it into account.” The words are from Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche, in a call to investors collected by The Autopian. They arrive to confirm a change of strategy. Future Porsche 718, classic central motor sports and the entrance range to the company will continue to offer, at least in their most expensive options, combustion engines. The news is the confirmation of what began to be an open secret: the future Porsche 718 will not be only electric as He had defended until now by the company. The movement arrives just when it is also confirmed that the Porsche Cayenne will not jump into the electrical exclusive. It is a strong change in strategy since The good initial results of the Porsche Taycan They had served the Germans to boost their electrical strategy. However, China has turned its back on the company And it has broken much of this strategy. Along the way he has confirmed that wealthy customers who have access to their combustion cars … They are not making the jump to the electric. So much so that the Porsche Macanwhich was sold as an exclusively electric model, could have a combustion brother in 2028 according to Jalopnik. Of course, we will have to see on what basis because The PPE on which the macan sits Current only admits completely electric models. When we analyzed the new Porsche Macan Electric we already counted that it was a really interesting car. It was an effective car, a brute force and a surprising curve step for its height and size. But he had a but: That car had a V6 gasoline engine before. And convince who enters the world Porsche that now that engine is electric … is very complicated. The basic problem for Electric Deportivo is that cars are much more than numbers. In social networks it is repeated as a mantra that “Who knows how to handle an Excel buys an electric car”. And yes, it’s true If you are looking for a “affordable” car for day to daywith a lower expense in “fuel”, a savings in maintenance over the years, tax benefits in taxes … But none of that is taken into account when one buys a central motor biplaza. That is why a Mazda MX-5 continues to transmit sensations that no other car transmits with just over 100 hp. That driver profile values ​​the sound of the car, the thrust when it goes up or the touch of a manual gearbox. Yes, a quartz clock is usually more precise than automatic but the buyer values ​​the “artisanal” work under the sphere. Yes, a digital camera is more versatile and easy to use than an analog but the Feeling To load the reel and “feel” the mechanics in the hands goes far beyond the megapixels. These cars are mere whim toys And, as such, they do not attend to rational factors. You can talk about numbers but that is only the continent, not the content. Given this diatribe, the brands that are indissoluble of this driving experience have it hard complicated. Especially those more “earthly.” Ferrari either Lamborghini It has a higher bandwidth to transfer to its customers the possible fines that reach it in the future, Porsche does not have so much room to transfer this cost to the customers. Especially in the most “affordable” models. That is why a two -speed future has been raised. It is no accident that Combustion models of the Porsche 718 are identified with the top range versions. That will help sell the most expensive versions because they will deliver a inaccessible driving experience for the vast majority of drivers. But, it will even be relatively inaccessible even for those who can buy a Porsche. This future Porsche 718 gives the company air. As they explain in The cars.net podcast Joan Dalmau and Juan Carlos Grande, companies have made efforts to advance a solid range against a horizon in 2035 without combustion engines. But they need to continue earning money and in Europe the client has not embraced the electric car at the expected rhythm. In this business niche, problems are even more serious because, as we said, rationality is … Read more
