The electric car has an average age of just 3.5 years and does not stop falling. It is very good news

by

Changing car is usually a reason for joy in a house. Unless you are forced by the circumstances of an unexpected breakdown or before what has been expected, acquiring a new vehicle is usually exciting for the buyer. And it is because, on average, it occurs every long. Whenever it is not electric, of course. A study. The average age of electric vehicles is 3.5 years. That is what the latest available report states S&P global in which this dynamic is studied. The figure is inferior to that of past years and remains down. In 2022, the Middle Ages was 3.7 years and in 2023 of 3.6 years. The figure contrasts with that registered for diesel and gasoline cars. Following the reverse road, the Middle Ages of the American Mobile Park has been growing over the years until it is 12.6 years. Taking into account that the electric car barely represents 3.2 million vehicles of the 286 million units in operation in the country, its impact on the Middle Ages is negligible. And in Europe? In Europe there are no data segmented by technologies. Acea, employer of manufacturers in Europe, only refers to the average age of cars in the continent and by countries. Points out that in Spain, According to the latest studiesIt is 13.9 years. A figure higher than the European average. In the continent, the average is 12.5 years. A figure that is lower because in Germany and France, the two largest car markets in Europe, the decade is barely exceeded. They are also the markets where more electric cars are bought. Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland or Sweden, countries that are located in the European average or in the upper part in the purchase of electric cars, also have lower figures in the Middle Ages of the mobile park compared to the rest of Europe. On the contrary, Spain, Italy and all the rest of Europe have the most aged mobile park. Although the almost 14 Spanish years are far from the more than 17 years of Greece, we share with those countries that the market share in the purchase of electric cars is very low, just a third of the European average. Why is the electric car important? The impact of the electric car on the Middle Ages of the mobile park is evident, especially the smaller the market. It is shown that where cars are growing are more modern. This is because the Middle Ages of the electric, as seen in the United States and is presupposed in Europe, is very low. It has all the meaning of the world. If electric car sales continue to grow, the Middle Ages has to go down. In the study of S&P global It is pointed out that in 2024 there were 50% more electric cars in American streets than in 2022. If sales are stopped, on the contrary, the age of the mobile park will increase in line. In the United States, where the sample is more than 286 million cars the impact is very low. In Europe, on the contrary, the impact is more evident because we can segment through countries. It is estimated that there is 256 million cars in circulation in Europe But Luxembourg, Germany, Sweden and Belgium are the countries where there is a higher percentage of cars with less than two years. Removing the peculiarities of Luxembourg, coincide (again) with electric sales. Two good news. That the electric car continues to expand its customer base are good news for the fleet of vehicles at European level. Confirms that every view more customers are trusting technology and that adequate incentives There are more drivers willing to jump into the electric car. It also means greater security. This is independent of the new car sold. With European obligationsa new car is always going to be safer than one with more than a decade behind it. Although they were systems that have already been seen ten years ago, now all cars (regardless of the price) have to have systems such as rear camera, emergency braking or lane output alert. And a regulate. Although with good prospects. And is that S&P globalin its report in this regard in 2023, it indicated that 6.6% of the electric cars that were in operation a decade before had been sent to recycle. The figure is higher than that of vehicles with combustion motor (5.5%). This means that the electric car becomes obsolete before, which has all the logic. We are talking about a technology that advances very quickly and, above all, has been widely improved in the autonomy offered by the vehicle. It’s easy to think about Many vehicle fleets They have gone to better life as better options have been offered. In addition, it must be taken into account that the same has been seen in the second -hand market. The depreciation of electric cars It is much faster and more accused than those of combustion. If the company interested in selling it cannot place the car, the most logical thing is to send it to destroy if you need space and replace its fleet. More and more cars. To all of the above we must add that the average age of the cars is expected to remain in the coming years since the electric car seems to have an ally between the fleets. Countries like Belgium or Germany They have discovered that the company car is an especially attractive means to boost sales of this type of car. While a individual aspires to have a car for many years in property, unless you opt for a rentiercompanies often use this formula since it allows them to renew the fleet every three or four years. If we take into account that the electric car has grown a lot among rentals And companies of all kinds, we have years ahead where its Middle Ages remains very low.

Global reservoir water data are incredibly good. The reality of many areas is very different.

by

Few figures can move more to someone who has followed the day to day of drought in Spain than is: 43,144. Those are, on May 5, 2025, the HM3 in the country’s reservoirs. 76.99% of the total. In recent time, we have never seen anything the same. And yet the alarm signals. And I do not mean only the general reports. That also: the latest Copernicus report, the European land observation system, despite focusing on the situation of central Europe, Let it clear That the situation in Spain is terrible. It leaves no doubt: the vast majority of points in “alert” by drought of the European continent They are on the peninsula. But, as I say, the alerts not only come from obtuse community reports, they also come from the same hydrographic confederations that are prohibiting crops because, according to their calculations, the endowment of reservoirs is not enough. The Granada example. When the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation (CHG) He announced The maximum endowments for irrigation for this year, “the worst omen were confirmed.” The accounts did not give, the regable areas of the province of Granada were going to continue with the greatest restrictions because their water reserves had not improved at the same level as in the rest of the basin. That is, the global figures and even the figures per Cuenca were not enough to know how the country was really: there are entire areas that, despite being part of water full of water, are not going to leave the drought behind. And what does this imply? Well, for example, farmers in La Vega de Granada who have sown winter crops will not be able to plant anything in summer. It is not a new measure, it was already implemented in 2023. The problem is that no one expected this and constitutes a blow to the rentier of a sector accustomed to using rotation to finance the following crops (as explained in ideal“The corn that is now paid expenses and income from winter crops”). That is, despite the water, many areas will have a bad time. Because no, it is not a problem that only affects Granada. A good part of southeast (regardless of the basin), the Balearic Islands or Some areas of the interior They will have water problems and will not be able to develop agricultural activities normally. To that we must add all the crops that go late Or they are Seeing how pests are primed with them. In the background, it is a reminder that the drought problems that have been accompanying us for 10 years cannot be diluted in two springs. As we have said many timesdroughts are managed with full swamps. It is now when you have to redouble efforts in infrastructure and management models. The restrictions may be necessary, but if we stay there … the most important step will be missing. Image | Kshithij Chandrashekar In Xataka | Spain has a huge problem with contaminated waters.

We have been asking if the eggs are good or bad for our health. The tests are very forceful

by

It is a debate that we have surely heard countless times, that of how good or bad that eggs result for our health. It is a setback, the evidence that eggs are “bad” is limited and has been refuted by various studies, but still the issue remains the subject of new studies. Studies that continue to insist on the usual consumption of eggs does not represent a risk additional. Another study on the list. A recent study of mortality associated with egg consumption has not observed indications of an increase in mortality associated with egg consumption. Moreover, the study found an inverse relationship between the regular consumption of this food and the risk of deaths linked to cardiovascular diseases. The study He followed up of 8,756 over 70 years of age, which gave information about their diets. Based on this information, the team separated the participants in three groups: who did not consume eggs or did it shortly, those who consumed eggs between one and six times a day, and those who consumed eggs daily. Verdict. The study results indicated that people in the moderate consumption group had a risk of mortality by 15% lower than those of the low consumption group, controlling other factors. They also observed a 29% reduction associated with specific mortality due to heart disease. Of egg aspirin. The study was framed in the ASPREE project (Aspirin in rear Events in the Elderly), curiously, a project dedicated to the study of the effects of aspirin in preventive medicine. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Nutrients. But they didn’t have cholesterol? “Eggs are a dense food in nutrients, they are a rich source of protein and a good source of nutrients, such as B vitamins, folate, non -saturated fatty acids, fat -solub vitamins (E, D, a, and k), hill, and numerous minerals and trace elements,” explained in a press release Holly Wild, co -author of the study. However, the eggs won a bad reputation due to their cholesterol content. Each egg has about 275 milligrams of cholesterol, which would represent almost the entire recommended amount of cholesterol, they explain In an article for The conversation Lauren Ball and Karly Bartrim, experts from the University of Queensland, in Australia. The trick is in absorption, Ball and Bartrim point out. And it is that the fact that we consummate a food with high cholesterol content does not mean that our body will absorb that cholesterol and make it end in the bloodstream, where it can imply a risk. This is the advance. The debate on the hypothetical damage that eggs may be a health risk has been perpetuated for years has often been used to discredit advances made in the field of nutrition. And it is true that the science that studies nutrients and their effects on our body is complex: the varied of the human diet and the immense complexity of our body are two factors that make extremely difficult to measure the effects of some foods on our health. It is not surprising Therefore we can occasionally run into this type of debates. The contradictory results are not alien to any field of science: there are many reasons why a study can yield erroneous results, such as methodological failures, calculation errors or even by mere statistical chance. That is why relationships must be studied several occasions, by different teams and following a variety of methods, this is how failures and erroneous relationships have been detected on several occasions. It is how the method itself should work. In Xataka | White eggs have disappeared from our supermarkets: the story of how brown was commercially imposed Image | Morgane Perraud

The second trailer of ‘GTA VI’ looks crazy, and is a sample of how good it feels to go against the industry

by

The wait until May 26, 2026 will be made long. In a strange ad, Rockstar confirmed a few days ago that the release date of ‘GTA VI‘It was delayed from an indefinite moment of this 2025 At the end of May next year. It is something that It has several readingsbut one of them was that they would soon launch a new trailer that, finally, would set the final launch date and, announcing the delay in advance, would cushion the blow. This has been. The company has just launched the Second Trailer of ‘Grand Theft Aut VI’ And … he is overwhelming. If the first launched in 2013 already allowed us to theorize whether it was something moving in real time or was a pre-control scene, this second trailer points to tour the same path. And the reason is that there are scenes of ‘GTA VI’ that are a real madness. ‘GTA VI’ will squeeze a decaffeinated generation First of all, I have to clarify that we can only judge the visual quality of the game with the means that we have available so far. To perform deeper analysis, we will have to waitat least, at the moment we have GamePlay scenes itself, but I think we can start making illusions with what Rockstar is cooking. For three reasons, in addition. The first is that, as I said, the first game of the game has already allowed experts to discuss its nature. Digital Foundry is a British media specialized in the visual and technical analysis of video games and They debated Long and lay on whether the trailer was in real time (that is, the engine of the game and scenes extracted from it) or a scene rendered beforehand. Some visual errors as Jaggies -S. Sierra- allowed the pixel counting, and the washed image of the edges points to the use of some type of tool such as FSR or DLSS. The second reason is that Rockstar is not Ubisoft and it is not a company that has accustomed us to CGI videos before the launch of the game itself or to Visual Downgrades. The third reason to believe that the game will end up seeing as in these trailers is that we have ‘Red Dead Redemption 2‘As an example. The 2018 title, without having received a patch for the current generation, continues to be better than many games of this generation, and that was designed to function in 2013 consoles. Come on, what There are hopes in ‘GTA VI’ at the visual level. And, as we say, we have reasons (and not only for these precedents). Trailer screenshot The new video begins very, very high, with some characters modeling that seem spectacular, very realistic animations both bodily and facial, without falling into the exaggeration of features, and all this bathed for what, I think, is the element that makes the trailer look as well as it looks. Because the textured seems very good to me, but the lighting that bathes each scene is to not believe it. Among all the moments, the one who has left me speechless is one at the beginning, when we see Jason returning in his car, at night, and observes a police detention. Trailer screenshot The flashes, The position of light spotlights And elements such as that good textured, the most realistic color palette than in the previous installment of the saga and gestures make me create that scene completely. But it is not the only one: Trailer screenshot Trailer screenshot Trailer screenshot I am somewhat tired of the term “photorealism” we have been abusing from the launch of the first ‘Modern Warfare’, but it really is the only term that occurs to me to describe what I am seeing. Then there are the characters, with a certain caricaturized and stereotyped touch, but the physicists of elements and hairstyles, Reflexes on surfaces (The interior of the car is amazing) or the vegetation play to make the scenes … surprising. Perfect? No, of course, and we see distant elements such as the sand or water that have visual artifacts, as well as some textures such as Lucia’s hair at some time that seem flat, but the general level is so, so high that, for the first time from ‘Alan Wake 2‘ and ‘Warhammer Space Marine II‘, I feel that this generation of consoles is worth something. And with more merit if possible in the Rockstar title, since it is an open world, with the complexity that this implies. Rockstar promotional image Rockstar promotional image Rockstar promotional image It may be making many illusions, but it comforts me that people in Rockstar think that the game is going to see like this. Not current workers, something impossible in one of the most hermetic studies in the environment, but veterans of the company. One is Ryan Fuechliffe, member of Rockstar from 2009 to 2021 and who commented that ‘GTA VI’ will offer a “revolutionary” realism. Mike York, who worked as an animator in the company, also commented That the game will probably go to 30 frames per second because Rockstar was focusing on visual quality. But, although I seemed to me … wild, you have to have your feet on the floor. Obbe Vermeij, former technical director of ‘GTA 3’ to ‘GTA IV’ He pointed out That, although the first trailer was “incredible”, the technical jump may not be as large as the one seen in ‘GTA V’ and that could disappoint some players. As I have already said, you have to wait to see Gameplay because, obviously, these two videos that Rockstar has revealed play a lot with the rules of the visual language of cinema. Chamber tremors, paneos and angles that are typical of the kinematics of well -positioned virtual games and cameras and we will have to wait to watch the first video with gameplay. However, I return to my argument of ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’: Seven years later, the adventure of the … Read more

Having solar panels at home sounds very good in case of national blackout. The problem is that they don’t work

by

The national blackout that Spain has suffered It has been historicalbut has also sown the doubt. While the vast majority of citizens ran out of light, in the street there was “life” in some supermarkets or marques that made the use of other renewable alternatives. Surely also, today more than ever many will ask about the need to have a solar installation in their home, which leads us to another question: how does a network of domestic panels work before a national blackout? Installation in normal conditions. Before talking about the case of a blackout as the one that occurred in Spain, it is convenient to explain the most basic of A “standard” installation In a typical home. In most cases, solar panels capture the radiation of the sun and generate what we call DC (DC). This current passes through an investor that converts it in turn in alternating current (CA), and that is precisely what we use in homes. In Spain and in almost all countries, most solar facilities are connected to the electricity network (known systems as on-Grid). This allows, on the one hand, to consume solar energy directly in the house. On the other, pour the surplus to the network (which entitles economic compensation, such as the net balance or Simplified compensation). Finally, of course, it allows you to receive electricity from the network when there is not enough solar generation (for example, at night or on cloudy days). The problem occurs when there is a situation like that occurred yesterday. Installation in blackouts. When you have a photovoltaic installation in the house of only panels and there is a blackout, something contradictory but very important happens: even if you have solar panels working, the sky is sunny and the beginning of the day, your house is also It is left without electricity. As? Yes, this occurs by security regulations (for example, in Europe under the standard VDE 0126-1-1 and similar), all solar investors connected to the network must detect the loss of tension and turn off immediately, is what is called Anti-Isla protection. The reason? The reason for this “cut” is to protect network maintenance technicians: if there were thousands of houses by sending electricity to a supposedly “dead” network, it could be lethal for workers They are at that time repairing the failure. Therefore, if you have only solar panels connected to the network, you cannot use electricity during a blackout. Your solar panels are automatically disconnected. There is no more. The solution: batteries. If you also have batteries, the thing changes, although here the situation varies depending on the type of investor and configuration you have. If you have hybrid investors (solar + battery), there are modern investors that already allow to continue operating in what is called Island or back-up mode. This means that when they detect a blackout, they are physically disconnected from the network and come to feed only your house using solar energy and energy stored in your batteries. In addition, there are also systems for backup investors (The so-called back-up inverters), where a separate system is used that can feed a specific part of the house (for example, fridge, essential lights or internet). One More Thing. But even so, for this to work you need lithium or lead batteries properly sizeda hybrid investor compatible with operation in island mode or an inverter with backup function (Back-UP), a automatic cutting system that separates your home from the public network in case of blackout guaranteeing safety, and finally an electrical panel prepared to isolate non-essential loads (for example, it makes no sense to keep the electric oven or air conditioning on if the energy is limited). In any case and to place all this in perspective in the Spanish landscape, only 33% of facilities Current domestic lots in Spain include batteries. This means that most households with solar panels would continue to suffer electric cuts during a blackout like the one that occurred yesterday. The reasons are very varied, but the extra cost of investment of them after the solar installation (already large) is key. The promise of self -supply. All this leads to a final question: Is it possible to be self -sufficient (energetically) in Spain? The short response is no. The promise of solar self -supply on the peninsula is based on taking advantage of the high solar radiation (Spain receives on average between 1,600 and 2,000 kWh/m²/year) to generate clean energy and reduce dependence on the electricity grid, especially in single -family homes. Thanks to photovoltaic self -consumption and the Price drop Of the solar panels (more than 80% have fallen in the last decade), today it is technically possible to cover between 60% and 80% of the annual consumption of an average house in Spain only with solar energy, and in some cases, almost 100% If appropriate storage batteries are installed (although with the network hitch). The problem. However, self -supply has important limits: solar production is intermittent (there is no generation of night and lowers a lot in winter or cloudy days), the batteries remain expensive (between 4,000 and 9,000 euros a complete domestic installation) and its capacity only allows a few hours or days of autonomy without network. Plus: We already said it, the current legislation requires that the systems connected to the network be disconnected in blackouts if they are not equipped to function in Isla mode, which implies that, without a specific design (and of large disbursement), even with solar panels, you could run out of electricity in general cuts.

How simple gestures tell us how good we are aging

by

In recent days, various media They have echoed of The statements what he did in his podcast Peter Attia, expert in longevity. In your program, The Peter Attia Drivethe toilet explained that a man between 40 and 50 years should be able to load his own weight (75% of his weight in the case of women) distributed between his two hands and walk for a minute. This raises a curious doubt: what does our grip force With longevity? Well, although it may seem surprising, our grip strength can tell us a lot about how we are aging. Several studies published in recent years seem to confirm this relationship, turning the grip force into an important biomarker linked to healthy aging. “People with better grip force age more slowly. Having a good grip force can slow down the immunosenescence process, or the deterioration of your immune defense associated with age,” Ardeshir Hashmi explainsdoctor at Cleveland Clinic. “You can also improve your ability to recover of diseases, or homeostenesis. Finally, it can prevent fragility. “ The lack of grip force is, for this expert, not only indicator of a faster aging, also a sign of a higher risk of chronic and even a lower life expectancy. Scientific literature seems to secondary this relationship. A study Published this year in the magazine Scientific ReportsIt is a good example of this. The study analyzed a population of 1,446 agent participants between 50 and 90 years of age, the majority (1,095) women. The team measured the grip force of each participant, who also filled a survey focused on estimate your quality of life. The team found a significant relationship between grip and the general evaluation of the level of quality of life. Another recent studypublished in 2023 in the magazine Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and MuscleHe used biological watches to study the relationship between grip and aging force. Biological watches are different biomarkers that indicate to what extent or what rhythm our body ages beyond our standard chronological age. The study responsible for the study also found an inverse relationship between aging, measured through markers of the DNA methylationand the grip force. In other words: people with greater force of grip tend to age more slowly as observed in this study. Posted in the same magazine, but a year earlier, Another study He found that the little grip force was associated with a major risk of dementia Already greater mortality. This taking into account associated factors that could lead to establishing the relationship. These are some of the recent examples found in the literature. In 2019, A review of literature Published in the magazine Clinical interventions in aging He had already found, in previous analysis, evidence of the link between the grip force and health, through factors as varied as general strength, density of bone minerals, fractures, malnutrition, cognitive impediments, diabetes, depression or quality of life, among others. Remedying loss Some doctors, such as Dr. Hashmi recommend exercise to avoid the loss of this grip force, a loss associated with the age that tends to begin around the age of 50. According to hashmithis can be as simple as squeezing a ball (such as the classic antiestrés balls) for at least 10 minutes and twice a day. This without forgetting Conventional exercises that can help us to keep ourselves in form in more advanced ages. Although the recommendation to exercise and lead an active life is never more, it should be noted that the relationship between the grip force and our welfare and longevity is complex. Correlation does not always imply a direct cause ratio. For example, grip force can perfectly be correlated with our general health status. People who exercise will probably have greater grip force and also a better state of health. In addition, we know some forms of dementia and neurological diseases such as scleriosis not only reduce our quality of life, but also They affect our mobility and our ability to handle and develop when it comes to doing so.

France has put the soy in the spotlight. Science is not so clear that it is a good idea

by

Soy has become one more element in our kitchens. Soja drinks, for example, are no longer a simple substitute for milk used by vegan people, but as one more drink. However, soy has also aroused the suspicions of some, generally focused around one of its components. Now those who have just paid their food in this food have been the French health authorities. Advise against. A few weeks ago, ANSES, the National Agency for Health Security of Food, the Environment and French work, issued a recommendation in which soybean products were advised in collective restoration. The motive wielded is in the isoflavones, but Not everyone is convinced in which it has been a good idea. Soy and isoflavonas. The Isoflavonas They are estrogen -like substances (hormones linked mainly to female reproduction) that are produced by some plants. Among the plants that produce these compounds are soybeans, and also to a lesser extent in other legumes and vegetables. The impacts on the human health of these compounds have generated interest in the community, scientific, not only for the risks that could entail but also for potential benefits. Since these compounds can be “coupled” to our hormonal receptors, the possible risks associated with the consumption of these phytoestrogens usually associate with their impact on our hormonal system, especially in that of children and adolescents, even in the growth stage. Avoid excessive consumption. According to details Radio France Internationalthe new measure is focused on avoiding excessive consumption, through the recommendation to eliminate soy products from collective restoration. This includes from nurseries to elderly residences, as well as other teaching centers and the canteens of companies. The new guide of the French agency establishes toxicological reference values ​​(TRV) by ingestion that try to delimit the safe consumption of these compounds (those that are below the value), of which they could begin to suppose a risk. According to the agency, these values ​​would be 0.02 mg per kg of body mass and day in the general population, and 0.01 mg/kg of body mass and day in pregnant women and children. Doubts. The measure has generated some skepticism. As It is explained from Sincthe new limits are based on studies conducted with animal models. While this type of studies represent a fundamental pillar when studying the impact of some substances, extrapolating its results to humans is not always simple. There are at least three factors that could alter these results continue to explain the article. The first, metabolic: mice metabilize these compounds less efficiently, which causes them to accumulate more easily in their body. Secondly, because some of the studies would have been using high doses that would not correspond to those we absorb when we consume isoflavones orally. Finally, the intestinal microbiota could also play a fundamental role in our absorption of these compounds. And in this sense, the gastrointestinal microbioma of humans and mice differs too much to be able to perform reliable extrapolations. And in humans? As they detail from Sinchumans do not yield especially alarming results. Rather on the contrary. These studies, including A technical review published in 2022 In the magazine Critical Reviews in Food Science and NutritionThey tend to point out that endocrine disruption tests associated with soybean consumption or its isoflavones are not detected. Controlling food concentration. Although the recommendations to collective restoration have focused the debate of the new French recommendations, these also pay attention to soy producers and food manufacturers. Not all soy varieties and not all products of this legume contain comparable isoflavone concentrations. That is why It is recommended To these sectors choose plant varieties, agronomic techniques and elaboration processes that minimize the presence of these compounds.

Omoda and Jaecoo have bet everything at car atibored from equipment at a good price. They want to repeat with hybrids and electric

by

Omoda and Jaecoo continue their offensive for what we have ahead of the year 2025. Yesterday we counted all the already confirmed details of the Omoda 9a plug -in hybrid that will be sold for less than 40,000 euros ( MOVES III PLAN through) and that aspires to be the most powerful car for the lowest possible price that can be bought in the market. The largest omoda SUV is categorized by the brand as a Plug -in super hybrid. It is part of what they call Shs technology. Its approach, away from European cars that until recently had a few tens of kilometers in completely electric format, is to deliver more than a hundred of them, with batteries that exceed 30 kWh and that, therefore, in the city they can guarantee more than 150 kilometers of autonomy with some ease. Now, omoda and Jaecoo have confirmed that their range is extended with three other new electrified vehicles. One of them, omoda 7, has reserved a hole in this category of Plug -in super hybrids. But, in addition, key novelties for other models of your offer arrive. Electrifying (and much) its range As we said, the first year of omod They approached 8,000 registrations. It has more merit if possible because omoda 5 only had a version of combustion and an electric. The electricity seemed very complicated to place. A high price was already late. If we add that we are not the country where more electric are sold … they closed the year with just 208 omoda 5 EV enrolled. To continue pushing, Omoda has confirmed the arrival of a hybrid variant. The company has confirmed that it is an update in which the frontal will be slightly changed but the design lines already seen in its current model are maintained. The engine will be 1.5TGDI (145 hp) that when working at full yield with the electric motor can generate up to 255 hp of power. At the moment, the brand has not been able to advance more technical details because they lack the approval data so we are waiting to know key data such as its consumption. What we can expect is a competitive price that tightens Toyota nuts in the hybrid market. Right now, this is the most purchased technology in our country and the Japanese firm dominates with an iron hand. Above the JAECOO 7 SHS. This SUV is the plug -in hybrid that we have been waiting from the First vehicle contact. Then we warn that this mechanic could be very interesting if it was extended with an attractive price. We know now that it will arrive with the same mentioned engine but will deliver up to 340 hp of power. The power-consumption-price combination will be key to the future of a car that promises an electrical autonomy of up to 151 kilometers. Finally, the most electrified option is that of the JAECOO 5 EV. In this case we talk about an electric vehicle that has not revealed more technical details so we do not know battery size or expected autonomy. Of course, taking into account that the OMODA 5 EV has a 61 kWh LFP battery and 430 kilometers of autonomy, we can expect similar characteristics to compete in the future with the Byd Atto 2 and Kia EV3.
